ClearSyn 300

High-Viscosity Synthetic Emollient for Luxurious, Silky Textures

INCI Name: Metallocene Polyalphaolefin

ClearSyn 300 is a high-viscosity synthetic fluid that functions as a premium emollient and sensory modifier. Based on Polyalphaolefin (PAO) technology, it provides a rich, cushiony texture and an elegant, silky finish without the greasiness associated with other oils. It is an ideal, highly stable alternative to silicones and mineral oil for creating sophisticated formulations in skin care, hair care, and color cosmetics.

How to Use ClearSyn 300 in Your Formulations

Understanding ClearSyn 300

Think of ClearSyn 300 as a high-performance, designer oil for your cosmetic formulas. While it looks like a simple, clear liquid, its performance is far from ordinary. It is a Polyalphaolefin (PAO), a class of synthetic emollients prized for exceptional purity, oxidative stability, and beautiful skin feel. The “300” denotes its higher viscosity, which lends a rich, cushiony application and elegant slip.

Unlike mineral oil, which can feel heavy or greasy, ClearSyn 300 is engineered to feel silky and refined. It is also a fantastic alternative to silicones like dimethicone—delivering comparable glide and smoothness—while supporting “silicone-free” claims. Its inherent stability means it resists heat and oxidation, helping maintain consistent performance and extending shelf life.

Formulation Tips

Use ClearSyn 300 at 2–15%. Choose 2–5% to refine texture or reduce greasiness in an existing oil phase, and 5–15% as a primary emollient when you want its luxurious sensory profile to take center stage in serums, rich creams, and high-end color cosmetics.

Add it to the oil phase. It is fully oil-soluble and heat stable, so it can be included in the heated oil phase for emulsions. Its inert, non-polar nature offers broad compatibility with esters, waxes, silicones, UV filters, and many active ingredients. For tailored sensorial effects, blend with lighter esters to create a pleasing “cascade” from initial slip to a velvety, non-greasy finish.

Luxurious, Silky Feel: Delivers a uniquely rich yet non-greasy texture that glides smoothly for a premium user experience.
