| Description: | 100% active cyclic silicone polymer blend consisting of siloxane D4 (cyclotetrasiloxane) and siloxane D5 (cyclopentasiloxane). Cyclic silicones are low-molecular weight silicones and are not viscous but very fluid and often used as solvents. Linear silicones (e.g. dimethicone) are large high-molecular polymers that are viscous and more oil-like. |
| Benefits: | Rapidly evaporates without cooling the skin. Leaves the skin dry, smooth and silkyIdeal carrier for makeup, other color cosmetic skin creams, deodorants and stick products without the oily feelProvides excellent stability and aesthetics |
| Use: | Typical use level 1-10% (up to 50% possible), add to oil phase of formulas but do not heat over 50°C (125°F). Can also be mixed into emulsions after the temperature drops to 50°C (125°F). For external use only. |
| Applications: | Color cosmetics, creams, deodorants, sticks, hair care products. |
