Role: SILICONE
Family: SILICONE
Comedogenic index: 0
Caprylyl Methicone is a silicone polymer used in cosmetics for its moisturizing and emollient properties.
If you use products that contain a lot of silicone, you need to wash your face thoroughly, as they can tend to accumulate on your epidermis.
It is a polymer molecule (created from repeated subunits)
Moisturizing and protective properties
Hydration: This component creates a permeable barrier on the skin, helping to prevent moisture loss and maintain skin hydration.
Texture and Application: It is characterized by its low viscosity and volatility (it evaporates rather than being absorbed by the skin), leaving a light, silky, smooth feel.
Compatibility and Formulation
Formulation flexibility: A special feature of Caprylyl Methicone is its compatibility with other silicones and natural plant oils. This property makes it ideal for creating products combining consumer-appealing vegetable oils with a cosmetically elegant, non-greasy, non-sticky texture.
