We often hear about silicone-free shampoo, but what is truly silicone-free and what is silicon? “Silicon” in general cosmetics refers to various polysiloxane polymer compounds, which are one of the least toxic raw materials in skin care products. It is non-toxic and non-irritating, has very low allergenicity and will not be absorbed by the skin. It can also smooth the skin, fill in pores and smooth fine lines (of course the effect is only temporary and will return to its original state after washing), optimized It feels good to use, so silicone ingredients are used in many skin care products and makeup. However, due to its water-insoluble nature, you must clean it after using the above silicone products.
Will using silicone shampoo cause hair loss?
There is currently no sufficient scientific evidence to prove this statement. Everyone will lose hair. I really don’t believe that people who have been losing hair will stop losing hair by changing to a silicone-free shampoo. But marketers have caught on. It is just a marketing tool based on the mentality of consumers pursuing environmental protection and health, and the marketing is very successful.
Do silicone ingredients clog pores?
There has always been controversy about whether to block pores. I think excessive use and insufficient cleaning may clog pores (any product needs to be used rationally, and overdoing it is definitely not good. Don’t be too greedy). Some cosmetics use silicone ingredients in order to pursue effects. Adding too much will cause a burden on the skin. When choosing skin care products and cosmetics, you can look at the ingredient list. Personally, I feel that if silicone ingredients are in the top 7, don’t buy them, or buy them and don’t use them every day.
