What is CYCLOPENTASILOXANE used for?
Because of its many enriching properties, Cyclopentasiloxane silicone is a common ingredient used in a variety of hair and skin care products. It helps the products spread more evenly and dry quickly, thus providing all the benefits without weighing the skin or hair down. It also gives cosmetic products a silky texture.
Skin care: The hydrating properties of Cyclopentasiloxane are great for the skin as it traps moisture, making the skin smooth and soft. It is used in lightweight products as it does not penetrate the skin but rather evaporates quickly. Further, Cyclopentasiloxane skin care has anti-aging properties and is a great ingredient to be used in lotions
Hair care: It is a great conditioner for hair because of its lubricating properties. It is commonly used in shampoos, hair conditioners, hair sprays, anti-frizz, and hair detangling products. It forms a layer on the hair, protecting and preventing it from damage while also allowing the product to spread easily and evenly
Cosmetic products: It is used in makeup and makeup removers because it is non-comedogenic and does not block pores
