Methyl Trimethicone

Low risk

FunctionSilicone

What it is — Methyl Trimethicone (INCI: Methyl Trimethicone) is a lightweight silicone used to add slip and a smooth feel.

What it does — It is commonly used to give a silky, non-greasy glide and to help condition hair and skin, often bringing a fast, dry-touch finish.

Typical use — Found in primers, moisturizers, sunscreens, hair serums and leave-on styling products.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits those who like a smooth, lightweight sensory feel; because it is a volatile-style silicone it tends to feel less heavy than richer silicones. Those who prefer silicone-free routines may wish to note it.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice.
