Dimethicone
Inquiry
Dimethicone, a widely used ingredient in personal care products, is a silicone-based polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (Si-O-Si) bonds. It is available in various viscosities, ranging from thin, water-like liquids to thick, gel-like substances. Its chemical structure gives it unique properties, making it highly valuable in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations. For example, dimethicone provides a silky, non-greasy feel, allowing for easy application and uniform coverage on the skin and hair; It also forms a barrier on the skin, helping to retain moisture and protect against external irritants like water or pollution. As a trusted provider of innovative silicone-based solutions, Alfa Chemistry offers high-quality dimethicone products that enhance the performance of skincare, haircare formulations.
