About
A crosslinked silicone polymer that forms a film on the skin. Silane precursors release methanol on hydrolysis — an EU environmental flag — and INCI-specific data is thin, landing this in Fine.
Function
Skin benefits
- Forms film on skin
- Provides surface smoothing
- Stable hydrocarbon-silicone hybrid
Known concerns
- Silane precursors release methanol on hydrolysis — EU environmental flags
- Limited public toxicology for this exact INCI
- Manufacturer purity grade affects performance
