Description

Cetyl Dimethicone is a silicone emollient that combines long-chain alcohol cetyl with dimethicone (silicone). In cosmetics, it is used as a softening agent, skin and hair conditioner, and to create a smooth, velvety texture in products. Cetyl Dimethicone helps improve product distribution, reduces stickiness, and makes the surface of the skin or hair more silky. It is often included in creams, lotions, conditioners, and sunscreens.
