Science
Mechanism of Action
Polysilicone-25 operates by forming a surface film that conditions the skin, contributing to a smoother feel. In cosmetic formulations, it acts as an emulsion stabilizer, preventing the separation of oil and water phases to maintain product consistency and efficacy over time.
