Dimethiconol Behenate is a silky and luxurious soft white paste that imparts a lubricious emollience. As a silicone-based ingredient, it is non-comedogenic. Dimethiconol Behenate is extremely hydrophobic and occlusive making it functional for skin barrier products. Additionally, it can be used as a powder-binding agent and to disperse zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in sunscreen products.
