⚕️ Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for cosmetic use. However, as with any ingredient, a tolerance test on a small area of skin is recommended to avoid any risk of adverse reaction.
✨ Vegan: Yes, it is generally synthetic and suitable for vegan formulations.
✨ Worth knowing: Ethoxy/propyl polysiloxane is known for its stability and ability to improve a product's water and rub resistance, which can be an asset in sun creams or long-lasting make-up products. It is unlikely to cause irritation, but careful formulation can influence overall tolerance.
