The following products are not formulated with any type of silicone ingredient. We compiled this list for those who wish to avoid such ingredients due to personal preference, not because silicones are a problem in skin care.
Silicones have been conclusively proven safe and gentle for skin; there’s no research proving they trigger or worsen any skin condition, including acne.
Paula’s Choice Skincare only uses the highest purity, cosmetics-grade silicones in our products. They do not penetrate past skin’s uppermost layers so cannot get into the body. Worldwide regulatory agencies have repeatedly confirmed silicones as used in cosmetics, do not pose a threat to health.
What about the environmental concern certain silicones are alleged to have? Paula’s Choice does not use cyclopentasiloxane (D5) or cyclotetrasiloxane (D4) silicones in any of our rinse-off products.
