Stearoxy Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer, which is a modified dimethicone with stearoxy groups attached to the molecular chain. It is typically a pale yellow, waxy paste with a mild characteristic odor, insoluble in water but soluble in most cosmetic oils and easy to emulsify. It has high thermal stability and chemical inertness, and is well compatible with other cosmetic ingredients, making it a common and versatile ingredient in personal care and cosmetic formulations.

Efficacy

Excellent Emollient Effect: It can fill the gaps between skin cells, soften the skin, and give a smooth, silky, non-greasy feel. It forms a lightweight protective film on the skin surface to lock in moisture, reduce water loss, and keep the skin hydrated for a long time, thus preventing dryness, roughness, and flaking.

Skin and Hair Conditioning: It has good affinity with skin and hair. For the skin, it can improve the skin texture, make the skin look delicate and shiny; for the hair, it can enhance the hair's gloss, reduce friction between hair strands, prevent tangling and static electricity, making the hair easier to comb and manage.

Improve Cosmetic Formulation Performance: In color cosmetics, it can improve the dispersion of pigments, making the makeup more uniform and easy to apply, and enhancing the adhesion and durability of the makeup. It can also adjust the consistency and spreadability of the product, making the use experience more comfortable.

Stable and Safe: It is stable under a wide range of pH and temperature conditions, not easy to decompose, and has low irritation and comedogenicity, suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin.
