@Zahra I never heard the term activated dimethicone. Perhaps it refers to the modified dimethicones with functional groups (like amodimethicones), but in that case, the term should be reactive dimethicone.

Sounds like marketingspeak to me.

@Zahra Simethicone is basically poly(dimethylsiloxane) or dimethicone, with added silica gel. I actually used it as antifoam agent in fabric softeners. But I’d never think about it as “activated” dimethicone, because the dimethicone polymer didn’t suffer any structural change. But that’s only my opinion 😁
