POLYDIMETHYLSILOXYETHYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

A silicone copolymer functioning primarily as a skin conditioning agent, it imparts a smooth feel to the skin. It also creates a temporary protective film, contributing to a refined skin texture and minimizing the appearance of fine lines.

Summary

Skin Conditioning Emollient Film-forming

Science

Mechanism of Action

This silicone-based copolymer enhances skin condition by forming a non-occlusive, protective barrier on the skin's surface. This film reduces transepidermal water loss, promoting a smooth skin feel and temporarily obscuring the depth of fine lines and wrinkles, similar to other Dimethicone derivatives.

Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel deems this ingredient, as part of the Dimethicone, Methicone, and Substituted-Methicone Polymer group, safe when formulated to be non-irritating. Its large molecular weight suggests minimal skin absorption. Manufacturers should exercise caution regarding incidental inhalation and ocular exposure, as specific data for these routes are limited. Environment Canada classifies this ingredient as not anticipated to be toxic or harmful.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While recognized for its skin conditioning and smoothing properties, specific clinical efficacy data, optimal concentration ranges, and detailed skin compatibility assessments are currently insufficient for a definitive Moumoujus rating.
