#1Water

Position 2

#2Cyclopentasiloxane

Origin: chemical

Role: Skin conditioning agent, Emollient, Hair conditioning, Solvent

Protection

Silicones

EWG Rating [ 3 ]

CIR Rating [ A ]

Cyclopentasiloxane is a fluid silicone. It’s non-greasy and doesn’t have any scent or color. It evaporates pretty fast which makes this ingredient essential when it comes to making products that have to dry quickly. It also gives a nice silky feeling when you apply the product to the skin and hair. It leaves a thin film that protects the skin after evaporation.

Cyclopentasiloxane is chemically neutral, meaning it doesn’t react with other components.
