Description. Dimethicone is classified as a silicone based polymer and is used mainly in cosmetics and in skin care products. These polymers were manufactured with silicon as the main element combining it with oxygen, hydrogen and carbon creating a chemical compound. Dimethicone is based on silicone. There are also more polymers made based on Dimethicone that are also used in many industries all around the world. Ancient Uses. The use of Dimethicone was nonexistent during ancient times and the discovery of Silicon was made in 1824 by Jons Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. It is a good product to use in dry, hot climates. Dimethicone used in hair products coats the hair. To use a dimethicone product, use it as the last part of your skin care routine. Wash, tone, moisturize, or whatever your skin care regime is. Let the moisturizer dry. Then apply the dimethicone. In no way can dimethicone be called 'organic'. That word is very ambiguous, meaning derived from natural sources, or meaning composed of carbon atoms, or meaning grown without use of synthetic compounds. NONE of these meanings apply to silicones. Also, dimethicone is not a white powder, it is a clear viscous liquid. In hair care products, dimethicone is used to provide smoothness, particularly in conditioners and detanglers, where the ingredient helps smooth hair and provide better comb-through. Because dimethicone leaves a sort of covering on the hair strands, it can also make hair appear shinier. Dimethicone (also known as polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS) is technically called a silicone-based polymer. More simply, it’s a silicone oil with certain properties that make it extremely popular in today’s personal care properties. What companies really like about this ingredient is that it provides a smooth application. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones. PDMS is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties. PDMS is optically clear, and, in general, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It is also called dimethicone and is one of several types of silicone oil (polymerized siloxane). Dimethicone. The prefix dimeth refers to the two methyl groups that are attached to the silicone molecule, combining the compounds to form dimethicone. This is one of the least complicated variants of silicone and is used most often in hair care products. Dimethicone is a type of silicone, an organic polymer that is isolated to perform a specific task. Silicones often are used as...... 1  Silicone Lubricant Uses. Manufacturers like it because it makes products easily spreadable, so you get that feeling of the lotion or cream gliding over your skin. Dimethicone also helps form a protective barrier on the skin, and can fill in the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, which is why it’s often used in makeup primers.

Silicones often are used as moisturizing and lubricating agents and are common ingredients in commercial health or hygiene products. There are several different types of silicone, but they all have similar qualities. Dimethicone is a type of silicone, an organic polymer that is isolated to perform a specific task.

PDMS is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its strange rheological (or flow) properties.  What is it: Dimethicone is a silicone product that's used as a skin conditioning agent and emollient. According to EWG, Dimethicone is a mixture of fully methylated linear siloxane polymers end blocked with trimethylsiloxy units.. It's also known at polydimethylsiloxane.
