Oleon: Natural Alternatives to D5 Silicones for a Sustainable Future
The beauty and personal care industry is embracing cleaner and greener ingredients, with growing interest in bio-based emollients that complement traditional silicones. While silicones remain highly valued for their sensory performance, brands are now expanding their options with sustainable alternatives. Oleon, a leader in natural chemistry, supports this shift with its Jolee® portfolio, a range of innovative, bio-based emollients and functional ingredients that deliver a similar luxurious feel while answering the call for renewable and environmentally responsible solutions.
The Jolee® Portfolio: Designed for Clean Beauty
Oleon’s Jolee® range has been crafted to give formulators natural, multifunctional solutions with the same velvety touch, easy spread, and high diffusion associated with silicones, while meeting global sustainability demands.
- Jolee® 7750 (Isoamyl Laurate) – A green silicone-like emollient, fully renewable with a 100% natural origin index. It ensures high spreadability, excellent pigment dispersion, and a silky, non-greasy after-feel. Produced through enzymatic esterification, it offers 20% CO2 reduction and 60% waste reduction compared to conventional processes.
- Jolee® 7749 ACT – Delivers the same properties as Jolee® 7750 but with enhanced process efficiency and quality, making it ideal for brands targeting eco-conscious formulations with high performance.
- Jolee® 7202 – A natural silicone-like UV filter solubilizer with velvety sensory feel and high surface diffusion. Perfect for sunscreens and color cosmetics, it provides additional UV-filter solubilizing properties.
- Jolee® 7181 – A long-lasting film-forming emollient that boosts color intensity, water resistance, and smooth hair finish, making it suitable for makeup and haircare.
- Jolee® 7887 – A cold-processable water-in-oil emulsifier that enables stable emulsions with high water phases (up to 82%), supporting formulators in PEG-free, silicone-free solutions.
- Jolee® 7931 and Jolee® 7777 – PEG-free solubilizers and multiple-emulsion packages that allow for light and nourishing finishes, replacing conventional PEG-based solubilizers.
Across the portfolio, all Jolee® products undergo rigorous physicochemical, sensorial, and compatibility testing to ensure safety, premium quality, and consumer satisfaction.
Oleon’s Jolee® range is backed by strong regulatory credentials. Radia® 7750, the base chemistry for Jolee® 7750, is classified as safe, non-toxic, and readily biodegradable. The entire line is designed with biodegradability, renewable sourcing, and consumer trust in mind, with certifications including Halal compliance.
From sunscreens and hair conditioners to makeup and skin creams, Jolee® products allow formulators to innovate without compromise. By combining performance with environmental responsibility, Oleon empowers brands to deliver on consumer demands for luxury textures and sustainable beauty.
