Shin-Etsu KF-56A is a specialized phenyl modified silicone oil that stands out due to its high refractive index of 1.46. Unlike standard dimethicone, this low viscosity phenyl silicone offers superior compatibility with organic ingredients, including ethanol and oils, making it an essential hair care shine additive. Its unique molecular structure provides a non-greasy, silky feel while significantly enhancing the "gloss" factor in color cosmetics and hair treatments.
