Trimethyl Cyclohexanol (Phenyl trisiloxane)

Trimethyl Cyclohexanol, also known as Phenyl trisiloxane, is a cosmetic ingredient commonly found in
skincare and hair care products. As a type of siloxane, it serves as an emollient, helping to condition and
soften the skin or hair. Phenyl trisiloxane is known for its lightweight and non-greasy texture,
contributing to a smooth and silky feel in cosmetic formulations. In skincare, it can enhance the
spreadability of products, while in hair care, it may provide a soft and manageable texture. This
ingredient is valued for its ability to improve the sensory qualities of cosmetic products without leaving a
heavy residue.

Benefits: It seals water in skin, creates a film on skin to protect from environmental damage, provides a
smooth texture to the formulation, retains moisture onto skin, deeply hydrates skin and improves
delivery of actives.
