Phenyl Trimethicone is a clear viscous liquid polymer, with a good refractive index of 1.498 and chemical stability against oxidation. It is chemically inert and has excellent compatibility with other ingredients in the formulation.

Thanks to increased stability and UV adsorbing properties, Phenyl Trimethicone improves the SPF of sunscreens, while providing a shine to skin and hair. This ingredient is used in hair gloss sprays, skincare, and makeup applications for its gloss, soft, and non-greasy properties.
