What Is It?

Our Olive Oil derived esters serves as a plant-based alternative to synthetic silicones like dimethicone and is made from components of olive oil, specifically hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate and hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiables. The term "silicone" in skincare refers to a family of ingredients known for their silky, smooth feel and for their ability to form a protective film on the skin. It is a very versatile ingredient often found in serums, moisturizers, and other topical products. It's not a drug, but rather a cosmetic ingredient that works with the natural substances in your skin to help improve its appearance.
