DIMETHICONE and DIMETHICONE or VINYL DIMETHICONE CAS NO 9006-65-9
How it works in cosmetics
This unique silicone system is a combination of dimethicone and dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, forming a soft, transparent to translucent gel with an excellent skin feel. The cross-linked polymer structure absorbs excess oil while maintaining a light, non-greasy texture. It spreads well when applied, forming a breathable film on the skin surface, giving a velvety dry touch and deep moisturizing. Its low viscosity allows for rapid absorption, which can enhance the overall experience of both skin care and makeup.
As a
Cosmetic Moisturizer, this dual polymer system provides long-lasting moisturization without the feeling of heaviness. It is suitable for cold-processed formulations and has good compatibility with a variety of esters, silicones and waxes. It can make the skin smoother after use, help evenly disperse pigments, and enhance formula stability. It performs well in lotions, primers, foundations and matte creams.
Key Benefits
This silicone gel emollient balances the skin's water and oil, creating a soft-focus matte makeup effect while maintaining hydration. In oil-control products, it plays a significant role by absorbing sebum and reducing shine. Its cross-linked structure helps disperse SPF ingredients in sunscreens and improves the staying power of makeup. In addition, it stabilizes formulas and enhances the ductility of active ingredients, making it a widely used oil-control ingredient in skincare, makeup, sunscreen and hair care products.
