Dimethicone

Documentos

Dimethicone is a silicon-based polymer. The properties of this silicone oil make it very popular as an ingredient in personal care and cosmetic products. It applies smoothly onto the skin due to its oil properties, filling in fine lines and correcting uneven skin textures. Manufacturers use dimethicone in makeup foundation, primers, body lotions, moisturizers, hair conditioners, and hair detanglers.

Dimethicone is one of the most-used emollient ingredients in moisturizers. This is due to the effectiveness of dimethicone as a moisturizing agent, as well as its gentleness on the skin. Dimethicone’s natural silicon derivatives give it a unique silky feel, enabling it to form a permeable barrier that prevents moisture loss from the skin. Dimethicone cream is a popular medicinal product that acts as a deep moisturizer. Dimethicone cream can also soothe minor skin irritations like diaper rash. The emollients in dimethicone give it the ability to decrease itching and flaking while increasing moisture at the same time.
