INCI: Stearyl dimethicone
What is Stearyl dimethicone?
Stearyl dimethicone, or polydimethylsiloxane, is a kind of polymeric compound. Dimethicone is a silicone-based inorganic polymer. Due to its rheological properties, it is used in many applications. Stearyl dimethicone is a non-greasy, smooth, and waxy substance. It is mainly used in cosmetic and personal care products.
Use & Benefits:
- Emollient: Stearyl dimethicone fills up the gaps between the dead cells in the skin, making the skin appear soft and smoother.
- Barrier: It produces a thin layer on the skin's surface, acting as a barrier that protects the skin from allergies, germs, and irritants that penetrate deeper layers.
- Protection from skin disorders: It prevents skin disorders such as acne, eczema, dryness, and itching.
- Lipid barrier integrity: The emollient fills in the spaces between dead cells and helps to keep the lipid barrier intact.
- Moisture retention: It retains moisture in the skin, making it appear softer, smoother, and healthier.
- Conditioning agent: As a conditioning agent, it forms a thin layer on the skin and hair, retains moisture, and gives a soft and silky feel.
- Versatile use: It is used in formulations of creams, lotions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, and other skin and hair care products.
