What is the benefit of cyclomethicone in products?

It provides a silky feel without being comedogenic
It increases the effectiveness of preservatives
It is an antioxidant
It increases product density

The correct answer is: It provides a silky feel without being comedogenic

Cyclomethicone is a common ingredient found in cosmetics and personal care products. It is best known for its ability to provide a silky feel to products without being comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores or cause acne. This is why A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because cyclomethicone does not have any direct impact on the effectiveness of preservatives. Option C is also incorrect because cyclomethicone is not an antioxidant. Option D is incorrect because cyclomethicone does not affect the density of a product. It is a volatile ingredient, meaning it evaporates quickly and does not add to the weight or density of a product.
