FM1-FM2 are often used as base fluids in personal care products due to their good dispersion properties and unique evaporation characteristics. It is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless and non-greasy. Unlike other volatile carriers used in the personal care industry, this volatile silicone oil does not cool the skin as it evaporates due to its lower evaporation temperature.
