Dimethicone
What is Dimethicone?
Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer that is frequently used as a skin protectant in skincare products. The second most common moisturizing ingredient found in moisturizers after petrolatum, dimethicone has skin-conditioning properties and helps improves the skin’s softness and flexibility.
Dimethicone is regularly used in lotions, balms, nappy rash creams and hand cream.
