LK-SIL 100D (2) : D5 (Cyclic) Free, Silicone carrier solvent system & Low-Viscosity (2 cSt) Dimethicone

INCI Name: Dimethicone

LK-SIL 100D (2) is a high-quality cyclic-free low viscosity Dimethicone, built with repeating (CH₃)₂-Si-O units and stabilized with trimethyl siloxane end groups, it delivers excellent spreadability and sensory performance. Offering the same lightweight, silky feel like cyclic volatile silicones.
LK-SIL 100D (2) is an exceptional alternative to Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and Cyclotetrasiloxane (D4) without the regulatory challenges associated with cyclic siloxanes. This clear, colorless, odorless fluid provides a smooth, non-greasy, non-tacky finish and enhances water repellency, ensuring a soft, pleasant skin feel with no stinging or irritation.
