Polysilicone-15

Mid risk

FunctionUVB Filter

What it is — Polysilicone-15 (INCI: Polysilicone-15) is a silicone-based organic sunscreen filter.

What it does — It absorbs UVB light, contributing to a formula's protection against ultraviolet exposure, and is valued for a light, elegant feel.

Typical use — Found in sunscreens and daytime SPF products, usually alongside other UV filters for broader coverage.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits those who want lightweight daytime protection; because it mainly covers UVB, it is typically paired with UVA filters. Overall protection depends on the finished product's SPF and even application.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid 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 and follow the finished product's directions.
