Cyclomethicone (Cyclopentasiloxane) 1kg

A Fast-Evaporating Silicone for Effortless Slip and Shine

Cyclomethicone, chemically known as cyclopentasiloxane, is a volatile silicone widely used across hair care, skin care, color cosmetics, and even certain segments of household chemicals such as furniture polishes and surface care formulas. This ingredient belongs to the category of Silicones and Conditioning Surfactants for Hair, which brings together ingredients responsible for smoothness, easy spreadability, and a refined, non-greasy finish. The 1 kg pack size makes it well suited for small-batch and studio-scale manufacturing, where formulas are already established and a steady supply of raw material is needed to keep production of finished goods consistent.

The key benefit of cyclomethicone lies in its tendency to evaporate quickly from the skin or hair surface after application, leaving behind a thin, breathable film that delivers slip, softness, and a lightweight sensory feel without buildup or heaviness. This is why the ingredient is heavily used in leave-in hair treatments, styling sprays, split-end serums, and in body lotions and creams where fast absorption and a silky after-feel are priorities. In color cosmetics, cyclomethicone often serves as a carrier for pigments in foundations, primers, and stick formulas, helping ensure even distribution and long-lasting wear.

In formulation, cyclomethicone is typically added during the oil phase mixing stage, at temperatures ranging from room temperature up to around 40-50 degrees Celsius, since its volatility means excessive heat is unnecessary and can cause premature evaporation of part of the batch. Usage levels commonly range from 3 to 15 percent depending on the desired texture and the purpose of the final product. It blends well with other silicones and oils, pairing particularly well with Natural Coconut Silicone 1 L, which adds richer conditioning and protective qualities to the formula, while smaller trial batches can rely on the compact Natural Coconut Silicone 10 ml. To thicken emulsions and stabilize the structure of creams working alongside a silicone phase, formulators often turn to Salcare SC 60 10 g, which helps achieve the right viscosity in the finished product.

Cyclomethicone should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, away from heat sources and open flame, as it is a volatile and flammable material. The container should be protected from moisture and direct sunlight, and the cap should be closed firmly after each use to minimize evaporation during storage.
