Cyclomethicone

Cyclomethicone is an alcohol-free, clear, colorless, odorless, silicone liquid used as a carrying and wetting agent for personal care products. Used as a replacement for petroleum based solvents because it will not contribute to the ozone-depletion and global warming. Cyclomethicone is basically a cosmetic solvent that is soluble with the vast majority of oil-soluble products. It is possible that some fragrances are immiscible & individual testing for compatibility is always recommended. Cyclomethicone is incompatible with water, glycerine, polyethylene glycol, PEC-8-stearate, PEG 40-stearate.
~ Cosmetic grade & often used as an alcohol-free dry perfume base. Excellent for a wide range of personal care applications including body sprays, roll-on perfumes, skin creams & lotions, bath oils, after bath spray (just blend w/your favorite carrier oil), hair care products, etc. Excellent in room & linen sprays, also!
~ 100% evaporation @ room temp & leaves no residue or buildup.
~ Spreads easily & creates excellent lubrication on skin.
~ Imparts a soft, silky feel. Often used in lotions & creams to add a "powdery", non-greasy feel.
~ Soluble in anhydrous alcohols, waxes, oils (except castor), hydrocarbon oils, esters & silicone fluid
~ Insoluble in water
Usage rate: 3 - 95%

I made some body/linen sprays for some coworkers and they loved it. I love how it's multi-functional too. Excellent body and linen spray and is excellent as a shine spray for hair. This has become one of my standard products.

I just now had a chance to try this and instantly fell in love! It dries so quickly and makes my skin feel like silk! This is one product I won't do without!

Author: Shannon Gamble
Love this stuff! I hated greasy perfume oils that's why I never carried them. Now with Cyclo it goes on wet and dries in seconds. I'm getting rave reviews from my customers already! Highly recommended.

If you add 1% dimethicone (350) it will eliminate any dry feeling from the accelerated evaporation of the cyclomethicone - and your skin will fell velvety soft and smooth.
