Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, often called D5, is a silicone-based liquid used to give products a smooth, silky feel. You'll find it in many personal care items like lotions, deodorants, and hair conditioners, as well as in some industrial cleaners and coatings. It's regulated under the EU REACH program because it's classified as vPvB, which stands for "very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative." This means D5 breaks down very slowly in the environment and can build up in living organisms over time, raising concerns about long-term ecological effects. Because of these properties, REACH has also restricted D5 in wash-off cosmetics like shampoos and body washes to limit its release into waterways.
