Science

Mechanism of Action

DIMETHICONE PEG-7 OLIVATE functions through a dual-action mechanism, integrating the distinct properties of dimethicone and PEG-7 olivate. The PEG-7 olivate component, a derivative of olive oil, acts as an effective emollient, emulsifier, and solubilizer, optimizing skin hydration and overall conditioning. Simultaneously, the dimethicone, a polysiloxane, establishes a breathable occlusive layer on the skin, contributing to a perceptibly smooth finish, aiding in the temporary softening of fine lines, and promoting moisturization by conditioning the stratum corneum.
