Amodimethicone

CAS No-106842-44-8

Amodimethicone is a silicone-based polymer that functions as a hair conditioning agent.
“This silicone derivative is lighter than other silicones such as dimethicone, so it doesn’t weigh your hair down,” says Anna H. Chacon, MD, a board-certified dermatologist.
According to Vanessa Thomas, a cosmetic chemist and founder of Freelance Formulations, silicones like amodimethicone are frequently used in skin care and hair care products that are developed for anti-frizz and moisturizing properties.
While any hair type can use amodimethicone, it’s typically geared toward curly, textured, and wavy hair.
