Cyclopentasiloxane

Description    
Cyclopentasiloxane is a lightweight, volatile silicone commonly used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations. Known for its silky, non-greasy feel, it provides smooth spreadability, enhances sensory experience, and delivers a breathable barrier on skin and hair.

Its quick evaporation leaves minimal residue, making it ideal for serums, primers, lotions, conditioners, and styling products. Cyclopentasiloxane also improves product stability, solubilizes certain ingredients, and provides a soft, dry-touch finish without clogging pores.
