KiSIL™ 1218

KimiKa, LLC (Formerly Cosphatech)

KiSIL™ 1218 is a type of silicone-based polymer renowned for its versatile properties. As a key ingredient, it serves various functions such as providing emollience, lubrication, and a silky-smooth feel upon application. It forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, helping to lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or sensitive skin. Additionally, its non-comedogenic nature ensures it won't clog pores, making it suitable for use in skincare and makeup formulations alike. Dimethicone's ability to impart a velvety texture without greasiness or heaviness makes it a favored choice in foundations, primers, moisturizers, and hair care products, contributing to their overall sensory appeal and efficacy.
