Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) – Premium Volatile Silicone Fluid for Personal Care

Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) is a volatile, low-viscosity silicone fluid commonly used in personal care and cosmetic formulations. Renowned for its fast-evaporating nature and smooth, non-greasy feel, this ingredient enhances product spreadability and imparts a luxurious, silky texture. Ideal for leave-in hair treatments, skincare, and deodorants, Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) offers excellent compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients and is essential in creating lightweight, non-tacky formulations.
