Why You Need to Avoid Silicone on Skincare

Kali shares with you at least 5 reasons on why you should avoid skin care or makeup products with silicone as an ingredient and how to spot them.

Quick! Go get your skincare, makeup and hair care and see if it has a silicone ingredient! If it does, you might want to consider replacing it and see if it will make improvements on your routine! Here’s why:

▶ TOP 5 REASONS TO AVOID SILICONE:

1️⃣ Silicones Trap Debris in Your Pores
➡ Acting like a plastic wrap, it forms a barrier that can lock moisture in BUT can also trap debris, dirt, bacteria, sebum and dead skin – yikes!

2️⃣ Silicones Can Cause Acne
➡ If you have acne-prone skin, silicone is one of the most or even the top skincare ingredient to stay away from! In conjunction to the reason above, exposure to oil, dead skin, and bacteria underneath can lead to increase breakouts.

3️⃣ Silicones Can Make Your Skin Dull and Dehydrated
➡ Dryness and dullness of skin can be a result of clogged pores. Silicone also prevents additional moisture from getting in.

4️⃣ Silicones Interfere with Cell Renewal
➡ Silicones inhibit this process by slowing down the production of new cells and keeping dead cells stuck longer.

5️⃣ Silicones Block Other Ingredients from Absorbing
➡ If you are layering products (which most of us do!), silicones can prevent them from doing their jobs properly.

Let’s say you use silicone-based micellar water or serum. Any moisturizers or treatments you put on next would have a diminished ability to penetrate, rendering them less effective.

6️⃣ Silicones Deliver Nothing Beneficial to Your Skin
➡ Silicones don’t have a single benefit for your skin! So why do they add it then? Silicones give products a silky, spreadable, luxurious texture. They fill in crevices to make skin look and feel smoother—which makes you think the product is “working,” even though it’s only a temporary, surface effect.

▶ How to Spot Silicones in Beauty Products:

Look for words that end in one of these:

➡ Cones: For example, amodimethicone, cyclomethicone, dimethicone, methicone, trimethicone, trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

➡ Conols: For example, dimethiconol.

➡ Silanes: For example, bis-PEG-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, triethoxycaprylylsilane, triethoxycaprylylsilane crosspolymer.

➡ Siloxanes: For example, cyclopentasiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, siloxane.

AND Silicone “substitutes”—alternative film-forming ingredients that you might not immediately recognize.

➡ Acrylamides
➡ Acrylates
➡ Carbomers
➡ Copolymers
➡ Methacrylates
➡ Polymers (most commonly polybutene and polyisobutene)
➡ Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
