Hydrogen DimethiconeBarrier
A reactive silicone used to coat pigments and powders so they repel water and disperse evenly.
What it does
Hydrogen Dimethicone is a silicone fluid that can bond to the surface of pigments and mineral powders. The coating makes those particles water-repellent and easier to disperse evenly, which improves wear and feel in color and powder products. It is a surface-treatment ingredient rather than a skin active.
