PEG-10 Dimethicone is a type of silicone made up of repeating units of siloxane with two methyl groups attached. It is fat-loving in nature.

So, when combined it brings the qualities of both the molecules individually.
Use & Benefits:
PEG-10 Dimethicone when used on skin forms a protective layer on it since it cannot penetrate the skin. It protects the skin from dehydrating by reducing the loss of moisture from it. Silicones i.e. dimethicones are well-known for providing silky and non-greasy feel, the PEG-10 dimethicone also exerts a similar effect in the product in which it is being used. When it forms a film on the surface of hair or the skin It also protects the skin from external factors like toxins, dirt, and microbes.
