Aminopropyl Phenyl Trimethicone
Aminopropyl Phenyl Trimethicone is a silky, high-performance silicone used in UK haircare and skincare products to give a smooth, glossy finish without feeling heavy or greasy.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics this conditioning silicone forms a light, breathable film on the hair or skin surface that helps to reduce friction, seal in moisture and improve product spreadability. It is prized in serums, leave-in conditioners, primers and foundations for delivering exceptional slip, shine and a soft, velvety after-feel while remaining non-comedogenic and easy to formulate with other beauty ingredients.
