Dimethicone (350T) Chemical is a high-viscosity silicone-based cosmetic ingredient used in a wide range of skin-care, hair-care and personal-care formulations. Dimethicone is a polymeric silicone valued for its smooth texture, lubricity, water-repellent characteristics and excellent sensory performance.
In skin-care formulations, Dimethicone helps provide a soft, smooth and silky after-feel. It can improve the spreadability and elegance of creams and lotions while helping reduce moisture loss from the skin by forming a protective surface film.
In hair-care formulations, Dimethicone provides excellent slip and conditioning properties. It helps improve the smooth feel and manageability of hair and can be used in products designed for frizz control, shine enhancement, detangling and conditioning.
Dimethicone is also frequently used in color cosmetics and personal-care products to improve texture, application and sensory characteristics.
The 350T designation should be matched with the exact supplier specification, including viscosity, purity, grade and applicable technical parameters. Always refer to the supplier’s current TDS, SDS and COA for the specific material supplied.
