The Science Behind
LexFeel® D5 is an optimized combination of ingredients that mimics the spreading and volatility of cyclopentasiloxane (D5).
- Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate is a light emollient that provides spreading and afterfeel aesthetics.
- Isododecane is a volatile solvent that mimics the volatility of cyclopentasiloxane.
Many of the physical properties of LexFeel® D5 are comparable to those of silicone D5:
- Kinematic viscosity
- Specific gravity
- Heat of vaporization
- Refractive index
- Flash point
- Appearance & odor
