Cyclopentasiloxane

What it is  
Cyclopentasiloxane is a lightweight silicone that helps create a smooth, breathable feel on the skin.

Why we use it  
It improves spreadability and glide, allowing products to apply evenly and comfortably—especially important for sensitive or treatment-affected skin.

Why it’s considered safe  
- Non-irritating and non-comedogenic  
- Commonly used in dermatology and post-procedure products  
- Evaporates after application, leaving a soft finish  

Good to know  
Cyclopentasiloxane does not penetrate the skin. It sits on the surface briefly to improve application, then evaporates.

The Lotus Standard  
Every ingredient is chosen with intention and reviewed for safety, tolerance, and comfort.
