About
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.
Function
Skin benefits
- Silky non-greasy slip on skin
- Durable emolliency from branched TMP core
- Compatible with most cosmetic chassis
Known concerns
- Standard silicone environmental persistence
- Polymer too large for meaningful skin penetration
