Cyclomethicone

Cyclomethicone (Cyclotetrasiloxane and Cyclopentasiloxane) is a unique blend of cyclic silicone polymers that offers a lightweight and fluid texture, making it ideal for a variety of cosmetic formulations. Comprising siloxane D4 and D5, this ingredient is celebrated for its ability to deliver a smooth, silky feel without the heaviness often associated with traditional linear silicones like dimethicone. Cyclomethicone’s low-molecular weight enables it to function effectively as a solvent, allowing for seamless integration of other ingredients and enhancing spreadability in products. This versatile silicone blend not only contributes to a luxurious sensory experience but also helps improve product performance by providing a breathable barrier that enhances skin and hair feel.
