Cyclomethicone (CAS 69430-24-6) is a volatile silicone fluid composed of cyclic cyclodimethylsiloxanes. Produced via hydrolysis and cyclization of dimethyldichlorosilane, its general formula is (CH₃)₂SiO. It serves as a non-greasy emollient in industrial formulations.
Avoid direct inhalation of vapors during processing. Store in cool, dry areas away from strong oxidizers. While generally safe for topical use, ensure compliance with regional cosmetic regulations regarding residual solvents.
