Properties
In beauty, the emollient coco silicone is recognized for these properties:
Silicone-like touch agent: gives a silky and evanescent touch similar to that obtained with synthetic silicones
Emollient: leaves skin supple and soft
Very good skin absorption: penetrates quickly without leaving a greasy film, ideal for light creams, oil-free foundations and for better hold of makeup products.
Very good spread on the skin, provides a very pleasant glide to formulas: creams, milks, oils, sticks, balms...

Facilitates the good dispersion of pigments in makeup products, glitter oils, etc.
