About this ingredient

Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a silicone-based crosslinked polymer that functions as a film-forming agent and texture enhancer in cosmetic formulations. It provides a smooth, silky sensory feel, improves product spreadability, and creates a durable, long-wearing finish while offering water resistance properties. This ingredient enhances the overall sensory profile and wear-time of skin and hair care products.
