Cyclomethicone

Cyclomethicone is a clear, odorless silicone commonly used in cosmetic formulations. It is a blend of different types of silicones, primarily Cyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and Cyclopentasiloxane (D5). As a 100% active silicone with a lower molecular weight, Cyclomethicone has a distinct fluidity, making it less thick or viscous compared to other polymer blends. This property makes it an excellent solvent in cosmetics, providing a unique feel and effectiveness to various beauty products.
