In depth
What it does
A specialized silicone-based emulsifier (a lauryl-PEG-modified polydimethylsiloxane derivative) used to stabilize emulsions and provide a lightweight, silky skin feel. As an humectant ingredient, it is particularly valued for silicone emulsifier that stabilizes formulas and imparts a silky, non-greasy finish.
Skin type guide
Works across all skin types, but is especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Oily skin types also benefit — proper hydration helps regulate sebum production.
How to use it
Apply to slightly damp skin to maximise moisture retention — humectants work by drawing water to the skin, so they need a water source to pull from. Use early in your routine, before heavier creams or oils.
