Per chi
Descrizione
Trisiloxane is a lightweight silicone fluid used in skincare and haircare for its exceptional slip and fast-drying feel. It’s clear, colorless, and very volatile, which means it spreads easily and then evaporates quickly from the skin or hair. Because of that, it helps formulas feel less heavy and more elegant, leaving behind a smooth, dry-touch finish rather than a greasy film.
In skincare, trisiloxane is often found in primers, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products where a silky, even application matters. On hair, it can help products glide through strands, improve spreadability, and reduce the sticky or tacky feel some formulas can have. It’s especially appealing for people who dislike rich, oily textures or who want a more weightless finish.
Caveat: because trisiloxane evaporates so readily, it’s mainly a texture-enhancing ingredient rather than a long-lasting moisturizer or treatment. It doesn’t add water to the skin or hair on its own, so it works best when paired with ingredients that provide actual hydration or conditioning.
