Dimethicone Crosspolymer · Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
A silicone gel/powder network that thickens formulas, absorbs surface oil, and gives a smooth, blurring soft-focus feel.
What it does
Dimethicone crosspolymer is a three-dimensional silicone network that swells with silicone oil into a soft gel or is used as a fine powder. It thickens formulas, gives a silky, cushiony slip, soaks up some surface oil for a matte touch, and helps fill in the look of fine texture for a soft-focus finish. It is common in primers and creams. It is a texture-and-finish ingredient rather than an active.
