Abstract
Silicone is composed of a molecular structure that involves bonds between carbon, silicon and oxygen atoms, with two organic radicals bonded to the silicon atoms, resulting in the general configuration (-R2Si-O-). Polysiloxane (PDMS) is the polymer widely used in the formulation of cosmetic products for skin and hair care, providing aesthetic characteristics such as lightness, transfer resistance and thermal stability. The application of silicones in cosmetics presents a complex scenario, with arguments that address both the potential risks and their safety and viability. In view of this, a critical analysis of the misconceptions about the use of silicones in cosmetics was carried out. The research was based on scientific articles from digital databases, with the objective of ensuring the current and relevant information, demonstrating that silicones are safe, non-toxic and do not cause bioaccumulation.
Keywords: Silicone, siloxane, cosmetics, polysiloxanes (PDMS).
