METHYLDIHYDROXYPROPYLAMIDO UNDECYL DECYL DIMETHICONE.

Valuable / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

METHYLDIHYDROXYPROPYLAMIDO UNDECYL DECYL DIMETHICONE is a sophisticated dimethicone derivative engineered to form a breathable, hydrophobic film on the skin's surface. This creates an effective barrier that minimizes transepidermal water loss and provides emolliency, visibly smoothing skin texture.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functioning as a substituted dimethicone, this ingredient operates by establishing a hydrophobic film on the stratum corneum, forming a protective surface barrier. This barrier actively reduces transepidermal water loss, thereby enhancing skin hydration, and offers a degree of protection against environmental stressors. Concurrently, its emollient action fills minute surface irregularities, promoting a visibly smoother skin texture.
