Dimethicone Fluids
Dimethicone is a versatile silicone widely used in personal care products for its smoothing, moisturizing, and
protective prope爀琀ies. It forms a non-greasy barrier on skin and hair, helping lock in moisture and improve
texture. In skincare, dimethicone provides a soft, velvety 昀椀nish, while in color cosmetics, like foundations and
primers, it enhances spreadability and wear. In hair care, it reduces frizz, adds shine, and guards against environmental damage, making it ideal for conditioners, serums, and styling products. Its lightweight feel and durability
make dimethicone a key ingredient in high-pe爀昀ormance formulations.

Volatile Silicone Fluids
Volatile silicone 昀氀uids are fast-evaporating silicones that leave a smooth, non-greasy 昀椀nish, enhancing product
spreadability and absorption. Known for their quick-d爀礀 and lightweight feel, they’re ideal for skincare, makeup
primers, sun protection products, deodorants, and setting sprays, where a soft, residue-free 昀椀nish is essential. In
hair care, they add light conditioning without weighing hair down, making them pe爀昀ect for leave-in treatments
and styling products. Volatile silicones are valued for creating high-pe爀昀ormance products with a luxurious,
senso爀礀-rich experience.
