Overview
Methyl trimethicone is a super lightweight silicone that is highly volatile. As a result, this ingredient evaporates from the skin upon application rather than being absorbed.
The sensory profile of this silicone involves a silky, cushiony feel with excellent lubricity, and it is commonly used as an emollient in silicone-based skincare products.
In addition, methyl trimethicone is frequently utilized for its solvent capabilities. This ingredient is very thin and can dissolve a wide range of oils and silicones for a thoroughly blended oil phase or oil-based product. It can even combine ingredients that would not ordinarily mix on their own, such as natural esters and dimethicone.
