Silicon one Base

INCI NAME:Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethiconol (and) Caprylyl Methicone (and) other silicon polymer

• High molecular weight dimethiconol silicone polymer
• Cyclopentasiloxane
• Silicone elastomer
• Caprylyl methicone

Cyclopentasiloxane and caprylyl methicone act as volatile carriers, helping spread the silicone and elastomer evenly across a surface. After application, they evaporate, leaving a thin, uniform silicone film.

This provides a smooth, non-greasy skin feel, making it highly suitable for personal care formulations.
