Ingredient
Dimethiconol
A conditioning silicone that provides exceptional smoothness and detangling benefits for hair.
Dimethiconol is a hydroxyl-terminated silicone polymer that offers superior conditioning and lubricity compared to cyclic silicones. It forms a smooth film on hair and skin, reducing friction and providing long-lasting softness. In hair care, it excels at detangling and reducing static, while in skincare it provides a silky, non-occlusive feel that doesn't clog pores.
