Science

Mechanism of Action

This modified silicone polymer regulates the viscosity of cosmetic formulations, thereby optimizing product consistency. Beyond its rheological control, it imparts sensory benefits such as improved smoothness and gloss, and its refractive-index matching capability contributes to the clarity of transparent oil-based systems.
