Dimethicone – Cosmetic Grade Silicone Oil

Dimethicone is a widely used cosmetic grade silicone oil known for its excellent skin-conditioning, smoothing, and protective properties. Avex International supplies high-quality Dimethicone cosmetic grade to support cosmetic manufacturers, personal care brands, and formulation labs across Bangladesh.

This ingredient is highly valued in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its ability to improve product texture, spreadability, and overall user experience. Due to its stable chemical nature and non-greasy feel, Dimethicone is commonly used in a wide range of skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products.

What is Dimethicone?

Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer belonging to the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) family. It is colorless, odorless, and has excellent film-forming properties. In cosmetic formulations, Dimethicone acts as an emollient, skin protectant, and conditioning agent.

Because of its inert and non-reactive nature, Dimethicone is considered safe for cosmetic use when formulated according to recommended guidelines. It creates a smooth, breathable barrier on skin and hair without clogging pores.
