About this ingredient
Cyclomethicone is a volatile cyclic silicone fluid composed of repeating dimethylsiloxane units, typically in the form of D4, D5, or D6 cyclic oligomers. It functions as a lightweight emollient and carrier fluid that evaporates quickly from the skin, leaving a smooth, non-greasy finish. It improves product spreadability and creates a silky skin feel while enhancing the delivery of active ingredients in sunscreens and other cosmetics.
