| Dimethicone (polydimethylsiloxane) |
Dimethicone, also known as polydimethylsiloxane, is a type of natural derived silicone-based ingredient. This natural silicone is known for its smooth texture, water-repelling properties, and ability to form a protective barrier on the skin. Dimethicone is considered non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog pores) and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin and compromised skin.
