(INCI: PEG-12 Dimethicone)
 
 
PEG-12 Dimethicone is a polyethylene glycol-modified silicone that combines the conditioning and silky feel of traditional silicones with enhanced water dispersibility. It functions as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, hair-conditioning agent, and formulation aid in a wide range of personal care and cosmetic products.
This versatile ingredient helps improve product spreadability, reduces tackiness, enhances skin softness, and imparts a smooth, non-greasy feel. In hair care formulations, PEG-12 Dimethicone improves manageability, detangling, and shine while reducing static. Its water-compatible nature makes it particularly useful in water-based systems, including serums, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and color cosmetics.
