Methyl Trimethicone
Methyl Trimethicone (INCI: Methyl Trimethicone; CAS #17928-28-8; IUPAC: 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-Heptamethyl-3-(Trimethylsilyloxy)Trisiloxane) is a very light, volatile silicone that evaporates from the skin rather than absorbing into it. It is similar to the widely used Cyclopentasiloxane but dries even faster upon application. Its official CosIng functions are listed as hair conditioning, skin conditioning, and solvent.
