Cyclomethicone
Due to their volatility (varying rates of evaporation), low surface tensions (High Spreadability), and non-greasy feel, Cyclomethicones are used as base fluids, carrying agents and wetting agents in a wide range of personal care products. Cosmetic applications include: room sprays, body sprays, antiperspirants, skin creams, skin lotions, suntan lotions, bath oils, hair care products etc.
This cyclomethicone fluid will provide 100% evaporation at room temperature and is an excellent base fluid/carying agent for body sprays and room sprays.
