Science & Benefits

PEG-12 Dimethicone is a PEG-modified, water-soluble silicone. It provides the signature 'silky slip' and barrier-protecting properties of dimethicone but is easily rinsed away and does not accumulate in the pores. It acts as a surfactant-humectant hybrid. It is 100% non-comedogenic. It is a logical 'safe-haven' silicone for acne-prone skin, providing a breathable moisture shield and reducing the tackiness of other humectants without any risk of causing 'silicone-induced' breakouts.
