Trifluoropropyldimethyl/trimethylsiloxysilicate

1. Definition Trifluoropropyldimethyl/trimethylsiloxysilicate:

Trifluoropropyldimethyl/trimethylsiloxysilicate is a synthetic ingredient commonly used in cosmetics as a film-forming agent and binder. It is a type of silicone-based polymer that helps create a smooth and long-lasting finish on the skin.

2. Use:

Trifluoropropyldimethyl/trimethylsiloxysilicate is often used in cosmetics such as foundations, primers, and lip products to improve the wear time and adherence of the product to the skin. It helps create a waterproof and transfer-resistant barrier that enhances the overall performance of the makeup.

3. Usage Trifluoropropyldimethyl/trimethylsiloxysilicate:

When using products containing Trifluoropropyldimethyl/trimethylsiloxysilicate, it is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
