Silicone is a substance used in many cosmetic products with properties such as lubricating, thinning, film-forming, moisturizing, thickening, skin protection. One of the most important reasons why it is preferred is its cost.Silicone can add shine and fullness to the hair when used in shampoos or hair care products. However, as well as the good aspects of silicone, it adheres to the hair and obstructs the surface layer of the hair and may cause it to weaken, break, and fall out.
The harmful side effects of silicone are not just for humans. It is also a harmful substance for the environment. Silicon mixed with the nature with the products used is harmful.
At the same time, it has become an issue that has been questioned by consumers in recent years because of the long-term use of silicone-containing products, which create allergen effects, skin rashes and cancer risks. Many cosmetic companies make claims that their products do not contain silicone, but prove it in tests and analyzes in order to gain consumer confidence.
