Silicone quaternium-17 is a class of synthetic polymers used in skincare and haircare products to enhance texture, improve spreadability, and create a protective barrier on the skin or hair. Silicone-based ingredients, such as dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane, provide a silky-smooth finish, reduce friction, and help lock in moisture. Despite misconceptions, silicones do not clog pores when properly formulated, and they are widely used in primers, foundations, and serums to create a long-lasting, flawless effect.
