Description
C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone is a silicone wax widely used in cosmetics. It primarily functions as a thickening agent, helping build the desired texture in creams, lotions, and other formulations. Beyond its thickening properties, it provides exceptional slip during application, making products spread more easily and evenly across the skin. It also noticeably improves skin feel, leaving it soft, smooth, and silky without a greasy finish. Additionally, it helps stabilize formulations and can offer a protective effect by reducing moisture loss from the skin.
Additional information
- It is an alkyl-modified silicone polymer that imparts unique textural and sensory properties to cosmetics.
- Frequently used in makeup, sunscreens, and hair care products for improved application and softness.
