Cetiol^® ULTIMATE

The natural-based, fresh, dry and volatile emollient

Cetiol® Ultimate, the ultra-light and volatile emollient based on renewable resources, is BASF’s offer as the true cyclomethicone (D5) alternative. It provides a superb solution to meet the rising market demand for new formulation textures without silicones, especially volatile silicone oils in several segments of Personal Care.

With this ultrafast-spreading BASF emollient, a wide range of applications and claims can be covered spanning from very light oil-in-water emulsions, sun protection formulations and smooth dry body oils to fresh facial foundations and glossy hair oils. Due to its volatile properties, skin and hair leave-on products with Cetiol® Ultimate are easy to apply, absorb quickly and leave a smooth, dry feel.

The 100% renewable-based, volatile hydrocarbon is readily biodegradable and approved by COSMOS and NATRUE.
