Description
Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 is a silicone polymer derived from dimethicone, a commonly used silicone oil in skincare and cosmetic formulations. It is created through a crosslinking process that results in a three-dimensional network structure. This structure gives Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 unique properties, including enhanced texture, improved spreadability, and a silky, smooth feel on the skin.
Use
Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 is utilized in a wide range of skincare and cosmetic products, including moisturizers, primers, foundations, and sunscreens. Its ability to create a smooth, velvety texture makes it particularly suitable for products intended to blur imperfections, minimize the appearance of pores, and provide a flawless base for makeup application.
Applications
In skincare products, Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 helps to improve the spreadability of formulations, allowing them to glide smoothly over the skin. It creates a soft-focus effect that helps to blur the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture. In cosmetic products, it provides a lightweight, non-greasy feel and helps makeup adhere better to the skin, resulting in longer-lasting wear.
