Overview of Heptamethyltrisiloxane

Heptamethyltrisiloxane (HTMS) is a volatile, low-viscosity silicone widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and industrial formulations. It serves as a spreading agent, carrier, and emollient, providing excellent slip, fast drying, anda lightweight skin feel.

In formulations, Heptamethyltrisiloxane is often combined with Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, and Silicone Elastomers to enhance texture, reduce greasiness, and improve product performance. ChemicalBull supplies high-quality Heptamethyltrisiloxane suitable for cosmetics, skincare, hair care, and speciality industrial applications.

Applications of Heptamethyltrisiloxane

Skincare and Cosmetic Products

Heptamethyltrisiloxane is widely used in serums, lotions, primers, and sunscreens to improve spreadability, enhance skin feel, and deliver lightweight emolliency. It helps in forming a smooth, non-greasy layer on the skin, enhancing product aesthetics.

Hair Care Formulations

In shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums, Heptamethyltrisiloxane acts as a spreading agent and slip enhancer, improving hair texture, shine, and manageability. It blends well with Dimethicone and other silicone-based conditioning agents.

Makeup and Speciality Cosmetic Applications

HTMS is used in foundations, lipsticks, and powders to improve blendability, smooth application, and product stability. Its volatile nature allows rapid drying without residue, making it ideal for sprays and lightweight formulations.

Industrial and Speciality Applications

Heptamethyltrisiloxane is also employed in speciality industrial coatings, lubricants, and release agents where low-viscosity silicone performance is required.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry area away from heat and open flames

• Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination
