Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A reactive silicone building block used to form silky elastomer films in cosmetics. The finished elastomer is safe; the intermediate is a manufacturing component.
Tris-hydrogendimethyl siloxyphenylsilane (CAS 18027-45-7) is a phenyl-substituted silicone with Si-H functionality, used as a crosslinker in the synthesis of silicone elastomers. In finished cosmetics it appears as part of cured elastomer systems that provide soft-focus skin feel and film formation. No dedicated CIR monograph; EU CosIng permits general use. Skin safety of cured elastomer networks is broadly favourable; silicone environmental questions remain an ongoing class consideration.
