✨ Role: Dimethicone PEG-3 Laurate is used as an emulsifier and emollient in cosmetic products. It helps to blend water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients, while providing a soft and silky texture to formulations. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, reducing moisture loss and improving the feel of the product.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

Safety: Yes, this ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic products.

✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is generally vegan because it is synthetically derived without the use of animal products.

✨ Note: Although it is a derivative of silicone and polyethylene glycol, both of which have good safety profiles, some people prefer to avoid silicones in skin care products due to the perception that they can clog pores, although this is not typically proven.

Found in: Moisturizers, lotions, foundations, and other skin care products requiring a smooth texture and even application.
