Cyclomethicone in Perfumes
Cyclomethicone is an alcohol-free, clear, colorless, odorless, silicone liquid used as a carrying and wetting agent for personal care products. Cyclomethicone is basically a cosmetic solvent that is soluble with the vast majority of oil-soluble products. It is possible that some fragrance oils will separate so always shake your perfumes before using.  

It works great as an alcohol-free dry perfume base for both roll-ons and atomizers. It  evaporates 100% at room temperature & leaves no residue or buildup. Cyclomethicone spreads easily & creates excellent lubrication on skin. It imparts a soft, silky feel and is often used in lotions & creams to add a "powdery", non-greasy feel.

Shelf life: Although the published shelf-life is 3 years when stored in a sealed container at ambient temperature, it will last much much longer when stored in a sealed container.

What Are Cyclomethicones?

Cyclomethicones are clear, odorless liquids utilized in skincare products to give your skincare that silky texture. Cyclomethicones are a type of silicone, so they help products to apply evenly and smoothly to your skin. There are several types of silicones used in skincare and cosmetic products. You may already be familiar with silicones, probably the one you are most acquainted with is dimethicone. Cyclomethicones have a similar function to dimethicone in that they help improve the texture of products, improve the appearance of scarring, improve the water-resistance of products, and emulsify the product. However, Cyclomethicones are also better at delivering active ingredients to the skin. 

Cyclomethicone is an alcohol-free, clear, colorless, odorless, silicone liquid used as a carrying and wetting agent for personal care products. It can be used as-is as a body spray or 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.
