    Esters. Many different types. Would need to research them.

    @LGrey.
    These oils can add some shine but not what you are searching for (from what I can understand by your post). Implementing the shine in them will require high-level usage.
    Phenyl Trimethicone will do a great job. Make sure you read some technical info before, it may decrease viscosity in some formulations.
