STEARYL METHICONE
INCI: Stearyl methicone
What is Stearyl methicone?
Stearyl methicone is formed by reacting stearyl alcohol and methicone. Methicone is a silicon-based inorganic polymer. Due to its rheological properties, it is used in many applications. Stearyl methicone is a non-greasy, smooth, and waxy substance. It is mostly found in cosmetics and personal care items.
Use & Benefits:
- Emollient Properties: Stearyl methicone acts as an emollient, filling in the spaces between the skin's dead cells, which makes the skin appear soft and smoother.
- Protective Barrier: It produces a thin layer on the skin's surface that acts as a barrier, protecting the skin from allergies, germs, and irritants that penetrate deeper layers.
- Prevents Skin Disorders: It helps prevent skin disorders such as acne, eczema, dryness, and itching.
- Maintains Lipid Barrier: The emollient fills in the spaces between dead cells and helps to keep the lipid barrier intact.
- Moisture Retention: It helps to maintain 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.
- Cosmetic Applications: It is included in creams, lotions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, and other skin and hair care products.
