Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone that is employed since it gives a product a very pleasant and non tacky feel and spreads well. It refers to a light, flammable silicone that disappears shortly after it is applied and results in a velvet touch. This nutrient is used in creams, lotions and serums, and even hair treatments and hair care products.

BENIFITS :

It has a use as a conditioning agent thereby enhancing the appearance of the hair, decreasing frizzy looks while enhancing the shininess of the hair. This water-based formula doesn’t dry as slick as some silicones and doesn’t leave behind the same kind of film, so it is perfect for lightweight formulations. Furthermore, the cyclopentasiloxane in this formula is non-comedogenic; which means that it does not clog the pores and thus suitable for use by anyone with oily or acne-prone skin.

SKIN TYPES :

Cyclopentasiloxane can be used on all types of skin particularly oily skin and skin with combination type because it does not leave on skin’s surface a greasy layer. It is also helpful for dry skin; it adds gouge texture and improves the skin ability to retain moisture without greasiness.
