Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a three-dimensional crosslinked silicone elastomer that creates a unique gel-like network when dispersed in silicone oils or other compatible solvents. This crosspolymer provides exceptional sensory benefits, delivering a silky, non-greasy feel while offering superior thickening properties compared to linear silicones. Formulators choose this ingredient for its ability to create lightweight, breathable formulations with enhanced spreadability and a luxurious skin feel, particularly in primers, foundations, and skincare products where a smooth, mattifying effect is desired.
