Methyl Trimethicone is a silicone-based compound commonly used in personal care and cosmetic products due to its smooth, non-greasy texture and ability to impart a silky feel. It is often used in hair care, skin care, and makeup products as an emollient, helping to condition and moisturize without leaving a heavy residue. It enhances the spreadability of formulations and provides shine, smoothness, and water resistance to products like serums, lotions, and shampoos.
