CARBOXYDYL DIMETHICONE

Ingredient type:FAT-SOLUBLE/EMOLLIENT

✨ Role: Carboxydecyl dimethicone is mainly used in cosmetic products to improve texture, feel and application on the skin. It acts as an emollient, which means it softens and smoothes the skin, improving the overall feel of formulations.

Ingredient type: Emollient

‍⚕️ Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for topical use in cosmetics.

✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is of synthetic origin and is not derived from animal sources.

✨ Worth knowing: Carboxydecyl dimethicone is a modified variant of silicones, enabling better skin compatibility and offering a less oily feel compared to traditional silicones. It is often well tolerated by most skin types, but as with any silicone, it could potentially clog pores for some people with particularly sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Present in: Moisturizers, foundations, smoothing hair products and sun creams.
