POLYDIETHYLSILOXANE

Ingredient type: SILICONE

✨ Role: Polydiethylsiloxane is used primarily for its film-forming properties. It forms a smooth film on the skin's surface, offering a sensation of softness and improving the texture of formulations. It also contributes to the water resistance of cosmetic products.

Type of ingredient: Hydrophobic

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally considered safe for cosmetic use, but it is always prudent to perform a skin test to avoid any adverse reactions.

✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is generally considered vegan as it is synthesized without the use of animal products.

✨ Worth knowing: Polydiethylsiloxane can be particularly useful in make-up and suncare products due to its protective role and ability to prolong make-up wear. However, as with other silicones, it's important to cleanse the skin thoroughly to avoid clogged pores.

Present in: Make-up products (foundations, powders), hair care products, sun care products and certain moisturizers.
