Science & Benefits

Bis-PEG-15 Methyl Ether Dimethicone is a state-of-the-art, 100% water-soluble silicone humectant. It combines the aesthetic luxury of silicones (silky, non-sticky feel) with the deep hydration capacity of glycols. Because it is completely water-soluble, it cannot accumulate in the hair follicle or form an occlusive barrier, making it zero-comedogenic. It is highly effective at reducing the surface tension of a formula, allowing it to spread evenly and penetrate effectively. This is an 'intellectual' upgrade for acne-safe formulations, providing a refined skin feel and long-lasting moisture without the use of any pore-clogging lipids or waxes.
