Is silicone safe on skincare?
Silicone is a synthetic polymer that has been widely used in skin care and beauty products. It is a flexible, rubber-like substance that is mainly composed of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Silicone is usually added to skincare products as it helps to improve the texture of creams and lotions by making them smoother and more spreadable. It also provides a protective barrier on the skin’s surface which can help to lock in moisture.
