About this ingredient

Ethyl methicone is a silicone polymer that functions as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. It provides a lightweight, non-greasy feel while improving skin smoothness and creating a silky texture. It also acts as a silicone-based film former that enhances product spreadability and wear.
