INCI Name: Cyclopentasiloxane & Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
Cyclopentasiloxane & Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer are highly valued ingredients in skincare and cosmetic formulations due to their unique properties. These silicones work to increase the viscosity of the formula, creating a thicker and more stable product. Their inclusion significantly enhances the overall sensory experience by providing a smooth and silky texture. Additionally, they deliver a matte finish on the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and refined without any greasy residue. This combination is ideal for products aimed at achieving a comfortable, velvety feel, and is commonly used in foundations, primers, and moisturizers for a soft, non-oily result.
