Fine
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

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
