How to Use

By using blends of cyclomethicones this difference in volatility can be used to vary the residence time of the silicone on the skin.

Unlike other volatile carriers used in the personal care industry, volatile silicone fluids do not cool the skin when they evaporate. ,

This is a consequence of their unusually low heat of vaporization.

Table 1 gives the heat required to vaporize one gram of each of the indicated materials.
