About this ingredient

Lauryl PEG-8 Dimethicone is a silicone-based surfactant and emulsifier created by attaching a polyethylene glycol (PEG-8) chain and a lauryl group to a dimethicone backbone. It functions as a solubilizer and emollient in cosmetic formulations, improving texture, spreadability, and water resistance while conditioning the skin.
