Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a high-molecular-weight silicone elastomer with a rubber-like, elastic character. It is typically blended with a base silicone fluid such as dimethicone or cyclopentasiloxane. In formulations it acts as a thickening agent and imparts a silky, smooth skin feel. Its official CosIng functions are listed as emulsion stabilising, hair fixing, and viscosity controlling.
