Key ingredients

What’s inside, and what it does

A short list of ingredients chosen for cleanroom, lab and food-plant work, with no added fragrance or dye. Here is what each one does.

Full ingredient list →
  • A cut aloe vera leaf, a blue agave leaf and a few jojoba seeds on a light surface

    Succulents

    Jojoba, Blue Agave & Aloe Vera

    Desert plants that help skin hold on to moisture.

    What it does Jojoba, Blue Agave & Aloe Vera

    Jojoba is a liquid wax close to the skin's own oil, so it absorbs without feeling greasy. Aloe vera and blue agave contain sugars that help skin hold moisture.

  • A small heap of white waxy stearic acid flakes

    Fatty acid

    Stearic Acid

    A fatty acid found in many plant oils that helps keep the outer layer of skin soft.

    What it does Stearic Acid

    Stearic acid also works as an emulsifier, which means it helps oil and water blend in a lotion, so the formula stays smooth and stable.

  • A shallow glass dish of clear, light oil

    Emollients

    Octyl Stearate, Octyl Palmitate & Dioctyl Adipate

    Light emollients that soften skin and help the lotion spread and absorb.

    What it does Octyl Stearate, Octyl Palmitate & Dioctyl Adipate

    These three ingredients smooth the skin's surface and keep a lotion feeling light instead of heavy. You will find them in many lotions, creams and balms.

  • A few golden vitamin softgels and a drop of oil

    Vitamins

    Vitamins A, D & E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and vitamins A and D are nutrients skin uses every day.

    What it does Vitamins A, D & E

    In skin care, vitamin E helps neutralize free radicals, the unstable molecules that stress skin. Vitamin A helps skin look smoother, and vitamin D helps support the skin's defenses.

Also inside Cetyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol (not a drying alcohol) that gives the lotion its smooth texture, and propylene glycol, a humectant that helps hold moisture.

How it works

What we leave out matters

Our first lotion was made in 1983 for a circuit-board plant that couldn’t risk contamination. This is that lotion with nothing added for scent or color.

Left outNo silicones, lanolins, mineral oils or glycerins

Oil-based ingredients such as mineral oil, petroleum and lanolin can act as plasticizers that weaken latex. Silicones from ordinary lotions can transfer to surfaces, samples and parts. This lotion contains none of them, and no fragrance, dye or VOCs.

The basePurified DI water

Deionized water has the dissolved minerals and salts taken out, so the base adds no ionic contaminants. The lotion does not contain chemicals that may affect solderability or corrode electronic components.

On the skinAbsorbs clean

Our chemist’s formulation letter notes that the lotion vanishes into the skin and does not flake off into particles when dry. Vitamins A, D and E, blue agave, jojoba and aloe vera are added.

6 reviews for IC Lotion Fragrance Free (Cleanroom)

  1. Buddy –

    This is a terrific, non-allergenic lotion. Great to keep by the sink for use after hand washing. Not greasy, oily or sticky, it protects and moisturizes skin. Wonderfully scent-free, no perfume to deal with. Large container can last months for a single, home user, and will go far in multi-person settings. First rate product, highly recommended!

  2. Doug –

    We had this product at work, I’m retired now after 27 years and knew this was a good product that’s why I bought it.

  3. Mike –

    My place of employment stocks this product and I use it everyday….best stuff on earth. Everything you have read about it is true: dye free, no fragrance at all, leaves your skin nice and smooth! Sure, you could get lotion (any brand, maker) from any number of sources for a lot less, but for the amount you get & the quality of the product, you cannot beat the price! I would highly recommend this product to friends and family for daily use!

  4. momofporefan –

    This lotion meets the need for glycerin-free lotion where I work, but also satisfies my need for fragrance- and lanolin-free lotion. Not easy to find for sure. While I find I have to use it more often than lotions that have glycerin, it does help moisturize my skin after frequent hand-washing.

  5. Hugh Bryce –

    This is the stuff you want after a long day of washing your hands to stay safe with all of the sanitizers . It is non -greasy and it does a great job of making your hands just feel better. We used it when I was working in the aerospace field and it was great then and now with covid it is a big help!

  6. Diana B –

    As a dental hygienist I need a lotion I can apply between patients. My hands are always dry and need a lotion that won’t destroy the integrity of my gloves. It’s perfect since it also doesn’t have fragrance and all the other fluff.
