If a product lists Cyclopentasiloxane, its silicone-free answer is No. Nothing else changes.

What it does

Cyclopentasiloxane spreads other ingredients across the skin or hair and then evaporates, leaving a smooth finish. The EU restricts it in rinse-off products.

It is a silicone, so a product that lists it is not silicone-free.

Functions: emollient, solvent
