Dimethicone PEG-10

Dimethicone PEG-10 is a cosmetic ingredient that combines dimethicone, a type of silicone, with
polyethylene glycol (PEG). This compound is often used in skincare and hair care products. Dimethicone,
known for its skin-smoothing and hair-conditioning properties, is modified with PEG-10 to enhance its
water-solubility.

Benefits: It seals water in skin, creates a film on skin to protect from environmental damage, provides a
smooth texture to the formulation, retains moisture onto skin, deeply hydrates skin and improves
delivery of actives.
