Methyl TrimethiconeBarrier
A light, fast-evaporating silicone that gives a dry, silky slip and helps other ingredients spread.
What it does
Methyl trimethicone is a light, volatile silicone. It spreads ingredients evenly with a dry, weightless, silky slip and then largely evaporates, leaving a smooth finish without residue. It is often used in place of heavier volatile silicones. It is a feel-and-spreadability ingredient rather than an active.
