FunctionConditioning

What it is — Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone (INCI of the same name) is an amine-modified silicone designed to bond with hair.

What it does — It is commonly used to condition hair, tending to adhere to more porous or damaged areas to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz and improve slip and shine.

Typical use — It appears in conditioners, masks, leave-ins and smoothing or repair-style hair treatments.

Who it suits / good to know — Often favored for dry, damaged or chemically-treated hair; those who avoid silicones or prefer very lightweight products may take note of its presence.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert, well-tolerated conditioning silicone. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test on the scalp if you are prone to irritation.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - silicone/conditioning agent, inert and well tolerated.
