Dimethicone further aids in conditioning the skin by creating a smooth, protective barrier. Humectants such as Glycerin and Butylene Glycol help to attract and retain moisture, providing hydration. Tocopheryl Acetate acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from free radical damage. The overall formulation is designed to protect the skin from environmental damage while ensuring it remains hydrated and comfortable under makeup.
