Ingredient

Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Low risk

FunctionEmulsifier

What it is — A hybrid emulsifier that pairs a silicone backbone with polyglycerin, built for water-in-oil systems.

What it does — It locks water droplets and mineral filter particles in even suspension, so coverage stays uniform from the first squeeze to the last and the texture spreads smoothly.

Typical use — Mineral sunscreens and long-wear bases where filter distribution equals protection.

Who it suits / good to know — Considered inert on skin; it shapes stability and texture rather than acting on skin itself.

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.
