Dimethiconol
Dimethiconol (CAS# 31692-79-2 / 70131-67-8) is a thick, high molecular weight silicone polymer. It is typically diluted in a lighter silicone fluid such as dimethicone or cyclopentasiloxane before use in formulations. Dimethiconol-containing silicone blends leave a silky smooth, non-greasy film on the skin and hair.
