What it does:
Dimethicone comes in different viscosities:
Depending on the viscosity, dimethicone has different properties.
Ingredients lists don't always show which type is used, so we recommend reaching out to the brand if you have questions about the viscosity.
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.

Here's what our community thinks
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E 13 ingredients
I like to slather this on my feet before putting on socks. It smells wonderful and keeps my skin in such great shape. Follow with Vaseline for an even greater benefit. Also great for knees, elbows or wherever you have issues with rough dry itchy skin.
Soothes rough feet,elbows, and knees like no other and smells divine. Can be a little greasy feeling.

No other lotion can moisturize like this one can!!! It is a thick product, but it has been my to go product for all in one body moisture, aside from it helping with scar fading. I like the unscented because i got tired of the cocoa butter scent.
