PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer is a high-molecular weight silicone elastomer gel that is usually combined with a silicone carrier fluid like Caprylyl Methicone. It has a viscous gel texture, gives smooth, powdery, nongreasy skin feel, and great spreadability. It's also more compatible with natural vegetable oils than other silicone elastomer gels and works as a delivery aid both for oil-loving (e.g. sunscreens) and water-loving (vitamin C, Aloe Vera, Caffeine) materials.
