Dimethicone (and) Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a silicone elastomer system combining linear dimethicone with a crosslinked dimethicone network. This combination leverages the emollient and protective properties of dimethicone along with the texture-modifying and film-forming benefits of the crosspolymer, resulting in improved product feel, stability, and performance. It is widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and skincare formulations to provide a silky, smooth, and velvety texture, enhance spreadability, and form a lightweight, flexible barrier on the skin.
