About Dimethicone/Methicone Copolymer

Dimethicone/Methicone Copolymer is a derivative of dimethicone in which several methyl groups have been replaced with hydrogen atoms.[1] Depending on its molecular weight, degree of cross-linking, and concentration, the viscosity of the formulation and the thickness and flexibility of the film formed after drying may vary. In cosmetics, it is used to help powder ingredients flow evenly without hardening into lumps.[2]
