Ingredient type: Emulsifier
⚕️ Safety: Yes, generally considered safe in cosmetic formulations at usual concentrations. However, it is best avoided on totally dehydrated skin or in people with particular sensitivities to synthetic silicones and polymers.
✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is generally considered vegan as it is derived from synthetic sources.
✨ Good to know: It belongs to the family of modified silicones, which allows the skin to breathe while providing a protective barrier. Although it is unlikely to cause irritation, people with particularly sensitive skin can sometimes develop reactions.
