Description

Cyclohexasiloxane is a silicone compound widely used in cosmetic products. It has the following functions and applications: 1. Smoothing and softening of the skin: it has a light and silky texture that helps to spread the product on the skin. 2. Viscosity regulation: can help to change the viscosity of the formula, providing the desired consistency profile. 3. Facilitating application: can facilitate the application and distribution of the product on the skin or hair, improving its distribution and smoothness. 4. Moisture retention: can create a protective barrier on the skin, helping to retain moisture and preventing it from evaporating. This can contribute to skin softening and improving its smoothness and softness. 5. Improving pigment distribution: in some cases it can be used to improve the distribution of pigments in cosmetic products, such as foundations, glitters or eye shadows. This helps to ensure uniform coverage and color intensity.
