At Aloderma, transparency extends beyond farm-fresh, organic aloe vera. We understand the desire to delve deeper into the science behind the ingredients that grace your skin. Today, we dissect Dimethicone Crosspolymer, a name that might sound complex, but boasts benefits readily apparent in our formulations.
Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a silicone-based polymer, specifically a three-dimensional network of siloxane units. This intricate structure imbues it with exceptional thickening and emulsifying properties. In simpler terms, it acts as a microscopic binder, ensuring a uniform distribution of our hero ingredient, organic aloe vera, throughout the formula. This translates to a luxurious, spreadable texture for an effortlessly smooth application.
But the benefits extend beyond aesthetics. Dimethicone Crosspolymer forms an elegant, non-occlusive film on the skin's surface. This breathable barrier minimizes transepidermal water loss (TEWL), a scientific term for moisture evaporation. Essentially, it helps your skin retain its natural hydration, keeping it plump and comfortable throughout the day.
The technical prowess of Dimethicone Crosspolymer lies in its high molecular weight. Unlike some silicones, this characteristic prevents it from penetrating deep into skin layers. This translates to minimal irritation potential, making it a gentle choice for various skin types, even those prone to sensitivity.
Experience the transformative power of Dimethicone Crosspolymer firsthand! Look for it in our Aloe Firming Eye Cream. This ingenious ingredient creates a weightless, perfecting base for flawless makeup application, while simultaneously providing a luxurious, pampering sensation for the delicate under-eye area.
