Dimethicone

What is Dimethicone? šŸ˜ŠDimethicone (genreally silicone) is a silicone-based ingredient used in many personal care products. It also gives these products a smooth, silky texture. Why Dimethicone? šŸ˜ŠSmooths texture: It ability to smooth the appearance of fine lines and form a protective barrier, Seals hydration: Dimethicone forms a layer on the skin, thereby locking in hydration and decreasing transepidermal water loss without being on skin Creates a silky feel:light texture and non-greasy feel that spreads quickly and easily Won't cause breakouts:Despite it being occlusive, dimethicone is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. In haircare products. Dimethicone coats the strands and smooths the cuticles, giving a sleek and shiny look while protecting from heat. https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/dimethicone Which type of skin can use? Ā šŸ˜Šā€¢Ā For skin Any skin type It is extremely useful in treating oily skin and acne because it does not block the pores or leave the skin feeling greasy Ā šŸ˜Šā€¢For Hair In hair products, dimethicone is known to leave shinier tresses that are easy to detangle. However, that waxy buildup can start to prevent water from making contact with the hair cuticle ā€“ and that can lead to dryer and/or flat weighed locks. Curly and fine hair may also get weighed down by buildup. https://puracy.com/blogs/spotlight/is-dimethicone-bad-and-alternatives How Dimethicone helps? Ā šŸ˜Šā€¢Ā It works by forming a film that prevents the loss of water through the skin that helps keep the skin moisturized. Ā ā€¢Ā It also works as an emollient, which means that it fills the spaces between cracks in the skin. Ā ā€¢Ā It also keeps all of the ingredients in a product from separating. Ā ā€¢Ā Dimethicone also helps improve the skinā€™s smoothness and flexibility by filling gaps between the cells in the uppermost layer of your skin. Ā ā€¢Ā It provides the soft feel, high shine, gloss and heat protection .https://hellogiggles.com/beauty/what-is-dimethicone-in-cosmetics/ Whether it causes purging? Ā šŸ˜Šā€¢Ā No, it may not!! When can use we it? Ā šŸ˜Šā€¢Ā Can be applied both in AM and PM routines Ā ā€¢Ā Can be paired with all most all actives Where can I find it? šŸ˜ŠCleanser Primers Serums Moisturizer Sunscreen Foundation šŸ˜ŠThere is so much fear mongering around Dimethicone, which are not proved. And lets not spread false rumour. Act wisely.

I Thought the general concern was about it being a micro plastic, and that you can make creams without needing to use itā€¦.

thanks for share.. i was scared before to the sillicone until many dermatologis said that totally ok and safe.. so many miss information about silicone in many use especially skincare product, that's why sometimes we can't agree based on influencer who are not dermatologis
