About Bis-PEG/PPG-21/7 Dimethicone

Bis-PEG/PPG-21/7 Dimethicone is an ingredient with a siloxane structure.[1] The number 21 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. This number, together with the type of fatty component attached, affects oil miscibility and the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to reduce hair tangling and roughness for a smoother finish.[1] It is also used to leave the skin's surface feeling soft and smooth and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
