About
A reactive silicone intermediate that ends up in silicone elastomers used for silky finishes. The finished elastomer is safe; the intermediate is mostly a manufacturing building block.
Bis-Vinyl Diphenyltrisiloxane (CAS 18586-22-6) is a vinyl-terminated silicone intermediate used to build silicone elastomers via platinum-catalysed hydrosilylation. In finished cosmetics it typically appears as part of a cured elastomer network providing silky skin feel and blur effects, not as a free reactive species. No dedicated CIR monograph; EU CosIng permits general use. Class-level silicone environmental questions apply; skin safety of cured elastomers is broadly favourable.
