Cyclomethicone is deposited at the surface of the hair or skin and spreads uniformly over the surface, coating the hair shaft or skin. It’s going to bring the other ingredients along for the ride, which means your products will glide nicely and coat the desired area with a thin film. It works well in hair care products for this purpose – you’ll see it in a lot of styling products because it helps the thicker ingredients used to make hair stuff spread on your hair instead of being seriously tacky!
