Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer
Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer is a silicone polymer that forms a flexible, breathable film on the skin or hair. This film helps to lock in moisture, provide a smooth feel, and can enhance the longevity of cosmetic products. It also contributes to a non-greasy finish.
