Description | C20-C24 Alkyl Dimethicone is a type of silicone-based emollient that is often used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as lotions, creams, hair conditioners, and sunscreen products. This ingredient is derived from silicon, a naturally occurring mineral element that is widely used in the cosmetic industry due to its emollient, smoothing, and protective properties.

This blend of silicones can provide various skin and hair benefits such as a smooth and silky texture, improved spreadability, enhanced moisture retention, and reduced dryness and flakiness. |
