Cyclomethicone

Cyclomethicone is a type of silicone fluid, primarily composed of a blend of cyclic siloxanes. It is a clear, odorless liquid with a lightweight, non-greasy texture. Cyclomethicone is known for its ability to spread easily across the skin and hair, providing a silky smooth finish without leaving a heavy residue. It is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products to improve texture, enhance shine, and offer a smooth application. Cyclomethicone is also used to dissolve and deliver active ingredients efficiently in formulations.
