Introducing cyclopentasiloxane as key ingredients used for shampoo and skin care products. It could be used for fragrance as well since its odor is well controlled. The quality is super that most competitors are making industrial grade while we make cosmetic grade, which is more stable.
INCI Name:Cyclopentasiloxane
CAS No.: 541-02-6
One of the superior chemical materials offered by Shengqing, a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, is cyclopentasiloxane, also known as counter type of DC245. This colorless, transparent, and almost odorless silicone fluid is primarily made up of cyclomethicone pentamer, making it a versatile ingredient for various applications.
Cyclopentasiloxane is celebrated for its excellent spreadability, providing a soft and lubricious texture to both skin care products and hair serums. Its unique properties allow it to blend seamlessly with other cosmetic ingredients while evaporating completely without leaving any residue. This characteristic makes cyclopentasiloxane an ideal choice for formulations that prioritize a lightweight feel.
Moreover, cyclopentasiloxane effectively reduces surface tension and facilitates pigment dispersion, enhancing the overall performance of makeup, skincare, and hair care products. It is widely used in sunscreens, antiperspirants, and deodorants, further showcasing its versatility.
