Dimethicone is a type of synthetic silicone created from natural materials such as quartz.

This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation because it does not get absorbed into skin. However, people with silicone allergies should be careful about using this ingredient.
Note: Dimethicone may contribute to pilling. This is because it is not oil or water soluble, so pilling may occur when layered with products. When mixed with heavy oils in a formula, the outcome is also quite greasy.

Didn't believe in primer until I tried this, makes even the worst makeup look good. Feels soft and silky on the skin while absorbing all oil.
