The Facts on Dimethicone

Dimethicone: It is a form of silicone ‘wax’ that apparently imparts "lubricity and softness to personal care formulations" (Source: www.baschem.co.uk) and whilst it is described by the 'chemists' as "basically non-hazardous with a very low order of toxicity" - the advice that accompanies this observation includes the fact that: "contact with the skin or with the eyes may cause irritation"!!

...Perfect for skin-care products then?!! Not!! ;-O

Add to this the fact that Dimethicone has been shown to cause tumors and mutations in experimental work with animals...and, well, we leave it to you to decide. Do you want to continue to cover your body with products that may feel 'softer' or 'slicker'...BUT contain this potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic chemical?..."
