Dimethicone Copolyols are a group of polymers made from dimethicone and polyoxyethylene and/or polyoxypropylene. They are used in cosmetics and personal care products as anti-caking agents, emulsion stabilizers, film formers, hair conditioning agents, skin conditioning agents, slip modifiers, surface modifiers, surfactants, and solubilizing agents. They are resistant to chemical, physical, biological and microbiological degradation within the realm of preparation, storage, and use in cosmetics and personal care products. PEG/PPG-20/20 Phenylisopropyl Caprylyl Dimethicone is a silicone-based ingredient used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is a derivative of dimethicone, which is a synthetic polymer. PEG/PPG-20/20 Phenylisopropyl Caprylyl Dimethicone is used as an emollient, which means it helps to soften and smooth the skin. It can also be used as a hair conditioner, as it helps to detangle hair and make it more manageable.
