Silicone (Dimethicone)

In the cosmetics industry, silicone has several applications, as it is used as a skin protector mainly in moisturizing products (moisturizers, lotions, body creams, etc.). Cosmetic silicone has the ability to form a thin film around the skin that retains natural moisture and protects it from environmental factors, without preventing it from breathing. At the same time, it fills the wrinkles, reducing their intensity and gives a softness and silky texture to the cosmetic creams.

Also, it is used in hair products (shampoo, conditioner, hair masks), as it has the property of covering the hair pores, keeping the natural moisture in them. In this way the hair remains straight and does not frizz, does not make knots and is much easier to comb.

The Dimethicone silicone you will find in our store is very high quality and 100% pure. It is commonly used at a rate of up to 2.0% in moisturizers, at a rate of up to 4.0% in hand and body creams and at a rate of up to 6.0% in sunscreens. In shampoos and conditioners it is usually used at a rate of 2-3%.
