Dimethicone

Description:

Dimethicone, also known as polydimethylsiloxane, is a silicone-based polymer characterized by its unique chemical structure, which consists of repeating units of dimethylsiloxane. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic liquid or solid, depending on its molecular weight. Dimethicone exhibits excellent thermal stability and is resistant to water, making it an effective barrier against moisture. Its low surface tension allows it to spread easily on surfaces, providing a smooth, silky feel, which is why it is commonly used in personal care products such as lotions, shampoos, and conditioners. Additionally, dimethicone has emollient properties, helping to soften and soothe the skin. It is also utilized in various industrial applications, including lubricants and anti-foaming agents, due to its ability to reduce surface tension and prevent foam formation. Overall, dimethicone is valued for its versatility, safety profile, and effectiveness in enhancing the texture and performance of a wide range of formulations.

Dimethicone

CAS: 9006-65-9

Dimethicone is a polymer that has been used in a number of topical cosmetic products for decades. It is used to improve the feel and appearance of skin by reducing surface roughness, making it appear smoother and more even-toned. Dimethicone also provides protection against water vapor, which may help to prevent premature aging of the skin. In addition, dimethicone has been shown to act as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals in vitro studies. This chemical stability makes it an ideal candidate for use in cosmetics that are exposed to air or high levels of humidity.

Dimethicone - 90%

CAS: 9006-65-9

Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer that is used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient and skin protectant. Dimethicone can be found in hair care products, such as shampoos and conditioners, to provide slip and reduce static electricity. It may also be used in sunscreens to absorb ultraviolet light. This material is not absorbed by the skin but remains on its surface, which helps prevent water loss from the body. In addition, dimethicone has been shown to have some antibacterial activity against bacteria found on the skin. The bactericidal effect of dimethicone is due to its ability to bind with proteins and prevent them from functioning properly.
