Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane and Cyclohexasiloxane are volatile silicones that are commonly used in personal care products for their smooth, silky texture and quick-drying properties. Cyclopentasiloxane is a five-membered ring silicone, while Cyclohexasiloxane is a six-membered ring.
