INCI: Cyclopentasiloxane and Trimethylsiloxysilicate
Product Overview
LK-Q5A, a blend of Cyclopentasiloxane and Trimethylsiloxysilicate, creates an ultra-thin, flexible silicone film that enhances product durability without compromising comfort. It delivers outstanding wear, superior water and sweat resistance, excellent transfer resistance, and a lightweight, silky finish helping formulators create products that perform beautifully in everyday conditions.
Advanced
silicone resin film-forming technology offers an effective solution for
enhancing the performance and longevity of modern cosmetic formulations.
LK-Q5A, a blend of Cyclopentasiloxane and Trimethylsiloxysilicate is engineered
