Description

Vinyl Dimethicone is a silicone-like polymer that is used in cosmetic products as a texturizer, emollient, and film-former. It creates a light, breathable film on the skin or hair, providing smoothness, softness, and water resistance without leaving a sticky residue. It is often used in sun protection cosmetics, BB creams, primers, powders, mascaras, and hair products to improve product distribution and add shine.
