What does cyclomethicone do?

Cyclomethicone is a type of silicone used in cosmetics and personal care products for its smoothing and conditioning properties. It provides a lightweight, silky feel, enhances spreadability, and helps to improve the texture of formulations. Additionally, it acts as a solvent and can help to deliver other active ingredients effectively on the skin or hair. Cyclomethicone is often favored for its ability to provide a non-greasy finish.
