Cyclopentasiloxane
💚Very good
What it is
A lightweight, volatile silicone that provides a silky, smooth feel to products. It evaporates quickly from the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
How it works
It acts as an emollient, temporarily filling in fine lines and creating a smooth surface. As a volatile silicone, it helps to deliver other ingredients to the skin and then evaporates, leaving a weightless, non-greasy finish.
