PEG-12 dimethicone

PEG-12 dimethicone is a silicone derivative in which dimethicone is combined with polyethylene glycol (PEG). This structure gives it both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, allowing it to act as an emulsifier and lubricant. In cosmetic formulations and especially in lubricating gels, it ensures smooth, long-lasting lubricity, improves spreadability and contributes to a pleasantly light texture.
