This explains so much in a very concise and useful way! Well written. Now to find products without it.... I like to use mostly natural products, which are more expensive, and I looked up the silicone ingredient because it's in my 'natural' body butter - and I wondered what it was. How can we avoid these modern 'wonders', I wonder? We need to get back to what nature supplied somehow... Thanks for the useful info! What a fabulous article.

I never knew about them. So it made me wonder, could they be the culprit behind my blackheads? I am starting to think so, because no matter what I do they don't go away. I will pay more attention about what I put on my face from now on. Thank you for digging up all this onformation about silicones in such great detail. I never knew about them.

Its used as a thickening agent in cosmetics. Acrylic acids are highly irritating for skin and eyes. However, I could find no evidence that carbomer is in anyway harmful.</p> Carbomer is a synthetic polymer (large molecule) of acrylic acids. Its used as a thickening agent in cosmetics.

I'm using a microderm scrub right now that is wonderful, but contains so much silicone that it leaves my face greasy afterwards. </p> I just don’t like silicones in my facial products, I feel like they clog my pores.
