A To Z Chemicals

Cyclopentasiloxane and dimethiconol is a silicone-based cosmetic ingredient commonly used mainly in haircare and also in skincare, and other personal care products. It is a clear, viscose and pretty much odorless liquid that acts as an emollient, providing a smooth and silky feel to the hair and skin. This viscous fluid forms a coating and is resistant to removal with water and sweat, making it ideal for long-lasting cosmetics. It however, is removed with soap/shampoos that prevents buildup. It conditions hair, particularly split ends, in hair care products. It gives skin care products a lovely, velvety feel. 

Cyclopentasiloxane is a staple ingredient used in cosmetics. It is a non-greasy silicone that is colorless, odorless, and water-thin. It gets quickly evaporated from the skin rather than getting absorbed - making it a brilliant ingredient to be used in products that need to dry fast, like antiperspirants and hair sprays. Further, it also has lubricating properties and feels silky smooth when applied to hair and skin.
