Dimethicone (also known as Polydimethylsiloxane), is responsible for imparting a silky, smooth texture to the products. This odorless and colorless substance is great at binding the ingredients and keeping them from separating. Additionally, Dimethicone works magic to help the makeup look even rather than cakey. On skin and hair, this silicone-based ingredient forms a physical barrier to lock in hydration for extra nourishment.
