Caprylyl Methicone is a light and volatile silicone that is often used in decorative and skincare cosmetics. Its main task is to improve the texture of the product, provide a silky glide, distribute active ingredients and reduce greasiness.
It is added to formulas to create an imperceptible, delicate film that does not clog pores, quickly evaporates after application, and does not leave a heavy or sticky feeling. Thanks to these properties, Caprylyl Methicone is particularly popular in serums, sunscreens, BB creams, primers, foundations, and creams.
This silicone improves the penetration of active ingredients, promotes formula stability, and makes the skin visually smoother.
