SQ-SIL V5N is a colorless, transparent, low viscosity and volatile silicone fluid. It provides excellent spreadability, imparting a soft and lubricious texture to skin and hair. Highly compatible with cosmetic ingredients, it can reduce surface tension, improve pigment dispersion, so can be widely used in makeup, skincare, haircare, sunscreens, antiperspirants, and deodorants. With its similar function and similar structure with Cyclopentasiloxane(D5), it is a perfect alternative of Cyclopentasiloxane without application limits.
Product: SQ-SIL V5N
INCI Name: Dimethicone
Cyclopentasiloxane Substitute Low Viscosity Dimethicone SQ-SIL V5N has the INCI name Dimethicone. It is a colorless transparent volatile silicone fluid with purity ≥99.0% and viscosity of 1.5–5.0 mm²/s at 25 ℃. The content of D4 and D5 is no more than 0.1%. With moderate volatility and excellent spreadability, it leaves no greasy feeling and stays on skin and hair for a while to deliver smooth touch. Featuring similar structure and performance to Cyclopentasiloxane (D5), it acts as a perfect D5 substitute without application restrictions.
It boasts multiple functions. It cuts down surface friction to create soft and lubricious texture on skin and hair. It forms a thin, breathable and water-repellent film to resist dust, moisture and minor abrasion, delivering water resistance, anti-fouling and gloss enhancement effects. It also reduces surface tension to facilitate pigment dispersion and stabilize formulas, and works as lubricant and anti-sticking agent. It is widely used in makeup, skincare, haircare, sunscreens, antiperspirants and deodorants.
SQ-SIL V5N has stable physical and chemical properties with good resistance to temperature, acid and alkali, and great compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients. It is mild, low-irritant and safe to use with fresh skin feel. It supports flexible viscosity adjustment and maintains long-lasting efficacy after film formation.
