Description :

Silicone Oil-345 / Cyclopentasiloxane And Cyclohexasiloxane (Esther-Silicone 345) Cyclosiloxane Blend is a blend of volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane composed of cyclohexasiloxane and cyclopentasiloxane. The product is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, non-greasy and non-stinging.

How To Use:

Esther-Silicone 345 Cyclosiloxane Blend may be used alone or blended with other cosmetic fluids to provide a fluid base for a variety of cosmetic ingredients.

It features good solubility in most anhydrous alcohols and in many cosmetic solvents. Esther-Silicone 345 Cyclosiloxane Blend is a volatile fluid with appreciable vapor pressure at ambient temperature.

Note that the pentamer component (D5) evaporates at a faster rate than the hexamer component (D6).

By using blends of cyclomethicones this difference in volatility can be used to vary the residence time of the silicone on the skin.

Unlike other volatile carriers used in the personal care industry, volatile silicone fluids do not cool the skin when they evaporate. This is a consequence of their unusually low heat of vaporization.
