Description

Dimethicone is a silicone-based compound used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in various topical formulations. It serves as an emollient, providing a smooth and silky feel while effectively moisturizing and protecting the skin. Dimethicone also acts as a barrier to prevent water loss and is often included in products for its skin-soothing and anti-itch properties. It is well-tolerated with minimal side effects, making it suitable for sensitive skin and a common ingredient in dermatological and cosmetic formulations.
