Description
Cyclopentasiloxane is a cyclic dimethyl polysiloxane commonly known as D5. Cyclopentasiloxane is a member of the family of ingredients which also include cyclotetrasiloxane (D4), cyclohexasiloxane (D6), and cyclomethicone, which is a mixture of the individual chain-length cyclic dimethyl polysiloxane compounds from D4 to D6.
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.

Cyclopentasiloxane is used in cosmetics and personal care products for its excellent skin conditioning and hair conditioning properties. It is also used as a solvent when rapid evaporation of the solvent is desired, in products like deodorants and antiperspirants that coat the skin but do not remain tacky after application.
Cyclopentasiloxane also facilitates a smooth texture and an even application in products, including sunscreens, shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, lotions, etc.
