Functions
Hair Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Conditions Hair
Softens and detangles hair
Traditional Use
Created in the late 20th century by combining silicone (dimethicone) with an amino group to improve hair and skin conditioning. Developed to provide better conditioning properties than standard silicones with enhanced film-forming abilities.
