Low risk

FunctionConditioning

What it is — Cyclomethicone (INCI: Cyclomethicone) is a volatile silicone that spreads easily and evaporates after application, leaving little residue.

What it does — It is commonly used to give a light, silky, fast-absorbing slip and to help carry and spread other ingredients.

Typical use — It appears in primers, hair serums, moisturizers and makeup where a smooth, dry-touch feel is wanted.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits those who like a weightless, non-greasy finish. Those who prefer silicone-free routines may wish to note it.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert, well-tolerated conditioning silicone. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - silicone/conditioning agent, inert and well tolerated.
