Phenyl Trimethicone

Low risk

FunctionSilicone

What it is — Phenyl Trimethicone (INCI: Phenyl Trimethicone) is a silicone with a high refractive index.

What it does — It is commonly used to add shine and a smooth, conditioned feel, especially to hair, and to improve how products spread.

Typical use — It appears in hair serums, conditioners and shine sprays, and in some skin and makeup products for a smoothing finish.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for gloss and slip. Silicones sit on the surface; those who prefer silicone-free routines can check the label.

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; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
