Is Dimethicone Safe?
Yes, it is. It is classed as being safe to
use in personal care products with minimal skin reactions
BUT
A lot of people do avoid using this as it
is a man-made ingredient that is not biodegradable and it acts as a coating
over your skin, blocking and trapping bacteria and impurities inside your skin
that can obviously lead to breakouts and irritations, which is never a good
thing.
The most common type of product you would
typically find Dimothecone is in intensive hair conditioner (which is why
they tell you to only use it once a month!!!!) as it makes hair look
very glossy but personally, I would not use any product that contains
Dimothecone daily e.g. face wash or lotion, as it is very difficult to really wash off your skin (apparently can
take up to 5 days for it to completely come off). Your skin does not
absorb it and it has no real health benefits so let’s be honest, coating
yourself with this isn’t the best idea you’ve ever had.
