FunctionAnti-Foam

What it is — Simethicone is a silicone-based anti-foaming agent.

What it does — It helps control unwanted foam during manufacturing and use, keeping a formula smooth and easy to apply.

Typical use — Used at low levels in many creams, cleansers and lotions as a processing aid.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally suitable across skin types; it is a functional ingredient rather than an active. It does not add a skin benefit on its own.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is sensitive.
