Cyclomethicone – Cyclopentasiloxane SF1202

Create lightweight, silky cosmetic formulations with Cyclomethicone, Grade Cyclopentasiloxane SF1202. This versatile silicone ingredient is widely used in skincare, hair care and colour cosmetic formulations where a smooth, elegant sensory feel is desired.

Cyclomethicone helps products glide easily across the skin and hair. It provides a soft, velvety after-feel without the heavy sensation often associated with richer oils and emollients.

Silky and Lightweight Skin Feel

Cyclomethicone is valued for its excellent sensory properties. It helps create a smooth, silky texture that spreads easily across the skin.

When incorporated into a suitable formulation, it can improve spreadability and application. This allows creams, lotions, serums and other cosmetic products to glide over the skin with less drag.

It also provides a lightweight finish. As a result, it works particularly well in formulations where you want a luxurious feel without excessive greasiness.

Fast-Feeling Absorption

Cyclomethicone can help create a quick-drying and lightweight skin feel. It spreads easily across the surface and then evaporates, helping leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

This makes it a popular choice for cosmetic formulations where a silky, non-greasy finish is important.

Benefits for Hair Care

Cyclomethicone is also useful in hair care products. It can improve the feel and manageability of the hair while adding a smooth, glossy finish.

It can help reduce the appearance of frizz and make hair feel softer and easier to comb. Therefore, it works well in suitable hair serums, conditioners, styling products and other hair care formulations.
