Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone-based cyclic compound that is commonly used in skincare products as an emollient, solvent, and skin conditioning agent. It is a clear, odourless, and colourless liquid with a silky, smooth texture that helps to improve the spreadability of products and create a smooth, silky finish on the skin. It creates a protective non-greasy barrier on the skin, preventing water loss. Cyclopentasiloxane is a stable ingredient that is unlikely to break down over time, helping to increase the shelf-life of a product.
