Ingredients for a Lightweight, Non-Greasy Night Cream

To achieve a night cream texture that feels smooth, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin, the ingredients suggested, Dimethicone 1Secs and LipidSoft™ Dry II, are indeed suitable options.

• Dimethicone 1Secs is a special type of silicone oil known for its very fast evaporation rate, similar to alcohol but without the drying or irritating effects. When applied to the skin, it provides an immediate smooth, "slip" feel and evaporates quickly, leaving behind a dry finish. This property makes it excellent for reducing the greasy feel and promoting fast absorption in formulations.

• LipidSoft™ Dry II (Dicaprylyl Carbonate) is an emollient designed to be lightweight and provide a dry skin feel. It helps to reduce the stickiness often associated with cream formulas and enhances spreadability, resulting in a smooth texture that feels less oily and absorbs well. It is particularly useful in formulas where a non-greasy, dry finish is desired.

Both ingredients can contribute to the desired texture profile for your night cream, helping it to feel light, smooth, and quickly absorbed without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.
