About
A silicone conditioning agent that adds slip and a smoother finish with generally low skin reactivity.
This silicone ingredient mainly improves spread, glide, water resistance, or a soft afterfeel. Most cosmetic silicones have low skin penetration and low acute toxicity, so the main questions tend to be impurity control, buildup, or environmental persistence rather than direct skin harm.
