DIMETHICONE

a.k.a. Dimethicone

Dimethicone provides the luxurious skin feel in our milky and cream formulations. It creates the smooth, velvety texture that makes formulas pleasurable to use while also providing a mild protective function.

MECHANISM

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) linear silicone polymer. Forms a breathable film on the skin surface. Fills in fine lines optically. Provides a silky, smooth skin feel and is non-comedogenic despite mild occlusive properties. Water-resistant.

BENEFITS

Silicone emollient — silky skin feel, optical blurring, lightweight occlusion
