About Dimethicone

Dimethicone is a mixture of fully methylated linear siloxane polymers end-blocked with trimethylsiloxy units.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to suppress unwanted foam during manufacturing or use, reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth.[2] It is also used to protect the skin from external factors.[2]
