Cyclomethicone
Leading Cyclomethicone Supplier
Cyclomethicone is a silicone-based ingredient commonly found in personal care and cosmetic products. It is a mixture of low molecular weight volatile cyclic siloxanes, the principal ingredients of which are Cyclotetrasiloxane (D4), Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and Cyclohexasiloxane (D6), in varying proportions.
With over three decades of experience, GW United Silicones is a leading provider in the production and application of cyclomethicone. We understand the unique properties that make cyclomethicone a valuable ingredient in a wide range of products, from personal care to industrial applications.

Application of Cyclomethicone / Cyclic Siloxane
Cyclomethicone for hair care
Cyclomethicone serves as an effective carrier agent in hair care products due to its unique properties. It is used in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to improve shine, reduce frizz, and provide a smooth, non-sticky feel.
Cyclomethicone for skin care
Cyclomethicone provides a silky, lightweight feel, which enhances the sensory experience of skincare products, making them easier to spread and apply. It evaporates quickly after application, leaving a non-greasy, matte finish. Cyclomethicone can dissolve and stabilize other active ingredients in formulations of skin care product, improving their effectiveness and shelf life.
Cyclomethicone for household product
Cyclomethicone finds various applications in household products: furniture/floor polish, multi-surface, glass cleaners, air fresheners, fabric softeners, leather conditioners, etc.
Building blocks in the production of various silicone materials
Cyclic siloxane / Cyclosiloxanes are essential building blocks in the production of various silicone materials. They serve as precursors or intermediates in the polymerization process that transforms them into linear silicone polymers with a wide range of properties.
