Methicone
A silicone used mainly to coat powders and pigments so they spread evenly and repel water.
What it does
Methicone is a silicone used chiefly as a surface treatment for pigments and mineral powders. The coating helps the particles disperse smoothly, repel water, and resist clumping, which improves how a tinted or powder product applies. It is a particle-coating and texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
