About Simethicone

Simethicone is a mixture of dimethicone with an average of 200-350 dimethylsiloxane and hydrated silica chains.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to suppress unwanted foam produced during manufacturing or use, reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and reduce hair tangling and roughness for a smoother feel.[2] It is also used to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
