What is the role of simethicone in hand cream?
The main reason is that silicone oil can lubricate the skin, so our hands become smooth when we apply hand cream.

Regular use in autumn and winter can make the skin of hands more tender and moist.

It is characterized by not only maintaining the balance of skin moisture, but also supplementing important oily ingredients, hydrophilic moisturizing ingredients and moisture, and serving as a carrier for active ingredients and pharmaceuticals, so that they can be absorbed by the skin to achieve conditioning and nutrition The purpose of the skin.

The heat resistance we mentioned earlier actually plays a big role. It is precisely because the hand cream contains silicone oil, and silicone oil has the property of heat resistance, so that the nutrients in our hands are not easy to volatilize, and the nutrients can be firmly locked in the hands, and then play a nourishing effect .

The skin of our hands is very fragile and cannot bear a little irritation, and the "four nos" of silicone oil includes "non-irritating". This kind of performance gives us special peace of mind when using hand cream.
