What does it do?

Trisiloxanepropyl Glyceryl Methacrylate is listed in the EU cosmetic ingredient inventory with the following declared functions:

• Binding

  holds the components of a formulation together, especially in pressed powders and compact makeup

• Film forming

  forms a thin continuous film on skin, hair, or nails — used in long-wear makeup, sunscreens, and hairsprays

• Surfactant - cleansing

  surfactant whose primary cosmetic role is cleansing — the active workhorse in soaps, shampoos, and body washes

• Surfactant - emulsifying

  surfactant that forms and stabilises emulsions of oil and water — without it, creams and lotions would separate

• Surfactant - foam boosting

  surfactant that increases the volume or stability of foam produced by other surfactants in the same formulation
