Dimethicone

Dimethicone which is also known as silicone oil is derived from silica. Also known as polydimethylsiloxane when it is available in its purest form. Dimethicone comes in multiple viscosities, and this variant has 350 centistokes of viscosity. It means that it has a moderate viscosity which helps it to protect the skin barrier. Dimethicone also possesses conditioning properties that make Dimethicone an effective cosmetic raw ingredient in hair and skin conditioners.

Dimethicone is used in various cosmetic formulas to reduce the final product's foaming properties. Dimethicone acts as a filming agent in different cosmetic formulations. Excessive use of this product might clog your pores and make them dry. Dimethicone is a non-biodegradable ingredient. You will need to check this ingredient's concentration level when used inskin caree and hair care applications. Dimethicone has a mild odor and easily dissolved in water.

Dimethicone Uses

Prevent Diaper Rash and Skin Irritation: Dimethicone Mainly used to reduce skin irritation and can be used to heal diaper rashes and skin burns as well. Dimethicone exhibits emollient properties when used at limited concentration levels and can be used to make your skin soft and supple.
Relieve Dry Skin: Dimethicone can also be used in creams and ointments that are used to treat scaly, dry, and itchy skin. Dimethicone is used to make the final products more malleable and enhance their spreadability, ultimately resulting in better performance of the cosmetic products.
Lubricating Agent: Dimethicone is also used due to its lubricating properties as it makes solutions non-sticky. It is used to increase the shelf life of products, and Dimethicone also increases its water-repelling potential.
Act as a Preservative: Dimethicone can also be utilized in cosmetic products for benefitting from its preservative properties. Dimethicone forms a protective film over your skin cells and protects them from pollutants and external toxins.
Used in Cosmetics Products: Dimethicone used in cosmetic applications like lipsticks, lip balms. The water-repelling ability of Dimethicone ingredient makes it a good addition to these makeup products.

Cosmetics Products

Dimethicone is widely used in cosmetic applications because of its potent water-repelling and emollient ability. This silicone-based ingredient is a good addition to makeup and cosmetic products like make-up foundation, sun-creams, eye makeup, primer, etc.

Waterproofing

Dimethicone is one of the most essential ingredients in many waterproofing sprays as it forms a smooth, protective coat over cosmetic and makeup products just after seconds of the application. Its water-resistant property also increases the shelf life of the products.

Silly Putty

DM 350 provides elasticity and bounces to the Silly Putty. The viscoelastic properties imparted by these silicon polymers are quite dynamic products bounce, mold, stretch, and snap easily. This silly putty is used to make squishy and bouncy toys.

Contact Lenses

Physical properties of Dimethicone Silicone provide low elastic modulus and hydrophobicity which can be used to clean micro and nano pollutants from the surface of lens. It is also highly effective at removing nano plastic that gets stuck to the lenses.

Dimethicone Benefits

You can use Dimethicone within the concentration levels of 0.5 to 3%.

Lubricating Agent

Dimethicone is also used due to its lubricating properties as it makes solutions non-sticky and unguent. Its water-repelling potential makes it an even better lubrication agent because it makes the formulation slippery, soft, and greasy. The low viscosity of this silicon fluid makes it an even better lubricant.

Relieve Dry Skin

Silicon oil can also be used in creams and ointments that are used to treat scaly, dry, and itchy skin. Dimethicone is also used to make the final products more malleable and viscous in nature, which ultimately results in better performance of the cosmetic products.

This silicon fluid can penetrate deep into the layers of the skin cells which makes the skin smoother and softer. It also locks the moisture into the skin making it even better at conditioning the skin and hair.

High Viscosity

Linear siloxane has high viscosity which makes it better at water-resisting and spreadability function. This product also reduces surface tension of the formulation which makes the spreadability effect preferable over other chemical compounds. Another factor that makes it even better spreading is its potent lubricant property.

Preservatives

Dimethicone can be utilized in cosmetic products for benefitting from its preservative properties as it naturally forms a protective film over your skin cells and shields them from pollutants, chemicals, and external toxins.
