Silicones in skincare and haircare

[@hounamao7140]

Your information is very valuable. I would suggest getting a small mic because sound really makes a difference in how one perceives the quality of your content. Keep going!

[@antheafewquandie7979]

Thank s very much for this clarity. The best school for Cosmetic chemist

I just tried to buy ciclomethicone for a clear body spray and it said that ingredient was proven dangerous so could no longer be used in the formulation 😕 I’m too new to cosmetics to know the difference. This is enlightening!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Thanks for watching!

[@eirafromalaska]

This came in very handy for the Lipid chapter of Module two of the IPCS studies!

So glad I found this. I'm a new hair care formulator and this discussion is always an uphill battle indeed. Question: So how did silicones start getting such a bad rep?

[@hounamao7140]

I believe it started with people bashing sulfates in haircare, even though there was no scientific reason for that. So after ditching sulfates no products would wash off the silicones of hair, and silicone build up started to be a thing. Thus the reputation.

[@picklepickle1629]

Thx for ur wonderfull explanation. Anyway, What about dimethiconol? Have u ever used that ?

[@be-life280]

Can I properly mix essential oils with dimethicone without using emulsifier?

[@jaunbonaysmith]

Very enlightening...😍😍
Can u please do a video on the various "exfoliants" such as jojoba beads,bamboo etc

[@eirafromalaska]

great idea!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Well said. People always feel natural is safer. Most natural Carrier oils are comodegenic and they still use over silicone ha,ha ha

Hi Belinda, That's really eye opening,and now I can say confidently that it's no wrong to use silicones.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Happy to help!

[@skpea4077]

[@nooramohammed6185]

Hi, do silicone-based creams and cosmetics create a barrier that covers the skin and prevents water from fully penetrating the skin under the silicone film? Is it like a waterproof layer? Since “breathable” may mean partially preventing water due to crystals. Also, is it true that silicone stays on the skin indefinitely unless removed with micellar water or coconut oil? And that it can’t be washed off with regular soap and water? Is this true?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No, these things are not true about silicones. Please email us for full formulation, method and supplier details: [e-mail] we provide this free. Happy formulating!

[@gerafi4840]

Please would you share video for a silicone based makeup which resist sweat.. In 😷 mask..Thankyou

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it to my list!

[@tashfiaamina4785]

Can silicone make any waterproof layer on hair?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No more than plant oils do - please watch the video again as I explain it in there. Once you wash the hair both silicones and plant oils are easily removed. Silicones are not the enemy!

[@teresastrayhorn277]
