PEG-12 Dimethicone is a copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane and polyoxyalkylene ether. This combination gives this type of ingredient unique properties. It is clear to hazy and colorless to straw liquid.

Aqueous and non-aqueous surface tensions of organo-modified silicones are lower than conventional organic surfactants. PEG-12 Dimethicone is readily soluble and stable in cool water, and lower alcohols, and exhibits surfactant-like qualities. It boosts foam and acts as a moisturizer and de-tackifier.

PEG-12 Dimethicone imparts lubricity and softness in a wide range of personal care products. Due to its water solubility, it enables clear product formulation. In shampoo, it enhances foam quality and stability.
