BIS-TMP DIMETHICONE

Safety score · 0–100

Good

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A dimethicone built around a branched trimethylolpropane (TMP) core — the branching gives a noticeably silkier, softer slip than linear dimethicones. Skin-safety is the standard silicone story: inert in finished product, no penetration.
