About this ingredient

Trisiloxane is a volatile silicone fluid composed of three linked siloxane units. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a lightweight emollient and slip agent that imparts a smooth, non-greasy feel to skin and hair products. It evaporates quickly, leaving a silky finish and improving product spreadability.
