The name Siloxane is derived from Silicon, Oxygen and alkane. 
They are a family of chemical substances composed of primarily of silicon. 
Usually found in cosmetic products, (makeup, crème, deodorant…) and in cleaning as a whole, in paint, etc. 
They are used for they particular chemical properties: they are odorless, colorless,  non-greasy, easy to apply and dry rapidly.


This family encompasses multiple categories of substances: Cyclotetrasiloxanes (D4), Cyclopentasiloxanes (D5) and Cyclohexasiloxanes (D6). 
The term “silicone” can also be used to refer to siloxanes.

This property makes Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane a useful ingredient in cosmetic products that need to dry quickly, like antiperspirants and hair sprays.
Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane also has lubricating properties. 
This gives a slippery and silky feeling when applied to the skin and hair and allows the product to spread more easily.


The basic structure common to all cyclomethicones is a cyclic backbone of siloxane units (i.e., silicon and oxygen with molecules of carbon and hydrogen attached, all very common elements found in nature).  
Shorthand nomenclature is based upon the number of siloxane groups in the cyclic structure.  
Thus, Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (also known as cyclopentasiloxane or just D5) has five of these groups.


The cyclosiloxanes octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane , and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) are cyclic volatile methyl siloxane (cVMS) substances with four, five, and six siloxane groups, respectively. 
Their use in cosmetics is one of their most important applications. 
D5 and D6 are commonly used in cosmetics as emollients, hair and skin conditioning ingredients, and solvents. 


The ingredients can be used in hair conditioning products where the product is washed off when used or in skincare products, personal deodorants, and colour cosmetics where the product is left on the skin. 
Restrictions currently apply where D4 and D5 are rinsed off; the new proposed restriction will apply to all leave-on uses and extend the rinse-off restriction to D6.

FEATURES of DECAMETHYLCYCLOPENTASILOXANE:
* Volatile carrier
* Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients
* Low surface tension
* Imparts soft silky feel to the skin

* Excellent spreading
* Leaves no oily residue or build up
* Detackification
* Non-greasy


A FEW POTENTIAL BENEFITS of PRODUCTS CONTAINING DECAMETHYLCYCLOPENTASILOXANE:
*Seals hydration:
When used on hair, Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane coats the hair shaft and guards against water loss. 
The compound works similarly on the skin by creating a barrier that locks in moisture.

*Evaporates quickly: 
Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane is often used in cosmetics and health and beauty products that require faster drying times (think deodorants, sunscreens, and moisturizers).

*Spreads easily:
Like other types of silicones, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane in cosmetics applies and spreads easily, leaving a silky smooth texture and a non-greasy finish.

*Has a lightweight feel:
Some silicones are heavy, but Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane has a lightweight feel. 
This characteristic is especially helpful in products like hair sprays and shampoos.


PRODUCTION AND POLYMERIZATION of DECAMETHYLCYCLOPENTASILOXANE:
Commercially Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane is produced from dimethyldichlorosilane. 
Hydrolysis of the dichloride produces a mixture of cyclic dimethylsiloxanes and polydimethylsiloxane. 

From this mixture, the cyclic siloxanes including Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane can be removed by distillation. 
In the presence of a strong base such as KOH, the polymer/ring mixture is equilibrated, allowing complete conversion to the more volatile cyclic siloxanes:

[(CH3)2SiO]5n → n [(CH3)2SiO]5
where n is a positive integer. 
D4 and Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane are also precursors to the polymer. 
The catalyst is again KOH.


ADVANTAGES of DECAMETHYLCYCLOPENTASILOXANE:
• Volatile carrier
• Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients
• Low surface tension
• Imparts soft silky feel to the skin

• Excellent spreading
• Leaves no oily residue or build up
• Detackification
• Non-greasy


WHAT ARE THE NEMEFITS of DECAMETHYLCYCLOPENTASILOXANE IN SKINCARE?
