BELSIL® CM 740 is a blend of cyclopentasiloxane and a high molecular silicone gum. Due to its composition, it combines the properties of the low viscose, volatile fluid, cyclopentasiloxane and the extremely high-viscose dimethiconol. The excellent spreading of cyclopentasiloxane allows a good distribution of the high-viscose conditioning agent dimethiconol. Application: BELSIL® CM 740 is used in hair care and in skin care applications. Skin-care and skin-protection preparations containing BELSIL® CM 740 impart a pleasant, supple feel to skin; it eases the distribution of the formulations and improves skin elasticity. At the same time, it forms a water-resistant, but breathable protective barrier. This provides good substantivity and fixation of active ingredients. Use of BELSIL® CM 740 in hair-care products yields sleek, shiny hair. Damaged hair regains a natural, healthy appearance. Wet and dry combability are improved, and further damage to the hair cuticles is prevented. INCI name: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
