Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical.
Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies.

Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Dimethicone is effective. It is prominent in moisturizers and in primers, it is an ingredient in agents for aiding in clearing up acne, it is in things like sunburn treatments and creams for diaper rash.

It is tolerated well by most people and is considered a low toxicity chemical; it is unknown but has been shown to bear some type of environmental impact as an “environmental toxin” by build-up. Most dermatologists agree that it is very safe to use and is a highly useful tool in treating oily skin and acne prone skin. It does not block pores. There is the occasional person that has a slight irritation on the skin because it provides such a great barrier that it can also trap bacteria’s on the skin. If a person becomes irritated by the product it is recommended to discontinue usage to see if the irritation clears up, if it does another method of treatment will be administered.

It helps to read labels. Dimethicone can be listed as many other names, it is most commonly called polymethyl siloxane. Look for the words non-allergenic and non-sensitizing; this is for those people that might already have sensitive skin.

If you are concerned about chemicals in our products in general, I found a very useful and very thorough web site dedicated to this thing. They are a non-profit and are supported by donations, so be aware that you may see a section asking for a donation. They have over 65,650 products and chemicals listed that we use for everyday personal care. I found it extremely helpful and easy to understand.  If you do happen to give your email address, they will send you a PDF guide on Choosing Safer Personal Items. The web-site's full name is Environmental Working Group.

  13. First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you
    do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and
    clear your head before writing. I have had trouble clearing
    my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly
    do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!

Also, Yahoo News is just taking things they find from the internet, they did not ask for my permission to use my work! They have a paid staff and it is too bad they aren't as creative as I am! LOL. I am hoping that Yahoo and sites like them would get in touch with me to give at the very least residual pay for the use of my creative property! But all in all it is good exposure, because you found my site!! Thanks for your continued support!
