DIMETHICONE

Dimethicone is a synthetically produced silicone oil that is frequently used in cosmetics as a skin-smoothing emollient and anti-foaming agent. (1) In our Daily Defense SPF 30 Powder, dimethicone is not used as a standalone oil base, but solely as a coating for the zinc oxide particles.
