About

On an ingredient list it is written as Cyclopentasiloxane. It is synthetic (cyclic silicone).

In the Formula

It is part of the silicone system. It sets slip and spread, and it is the reason a formula glides rather than drags. Formally it is classed as volatile cyclomethicone (slip / quick-dry silicone).

The Evidence

It is a listed cosmetic ingredient with an established function in the EU CosIng inventory. We hold no finished product study on it and do not imply one. We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Cyclopentasiloxane does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
