INCI NAME
 
Cyclotetrasiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane
 
 
 
 
DEFINITION
 
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. Clear to slightly hazy liquid, odorless. Very low water solubility (20 micrograms/L), soluble in alcohol, mixable in oils.
 
 
 
 
USAGE
 
 
It can be used 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.
