Dimethicone (also called polymethylsiloxane) is a silicon-based polymer. It functions as an anti-foaming agent, skin conditioning agent, occlusive and skin protectant. It disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas. It is found in many cosmetic and hygiene products like nail polish, conditioners, make-up, sunscreens, deodorants, and shampoo. Examples of products that contain dimethicone include Aveeno Moisturizing Lotion and Johnson's Baby Cream.
