What the evidence says
We don’t have a source for this one we can show you, so we’re not summarising the evidence here.
Look it up yourself
We would rather point you at the shelf than summarise something you can’t check. These are the same places we search:
- PubChem — what the substance is, chemically — names, synonyms and structure
- PubMed — every paper indexed by the US National Library of Medicine that names it
These are starting points, not our findings — we haven’t run them for you. A substance whose name is also an ordinary word (“Heart”, “Alanine”, “Water”) will return papers that are not about the ingredient at all.
Context
Used in rinse-off and leave-on hair products alike, typically at low percentages. Silicones of this kind sit on the hair surface rather than penetrating skin, which limits systemic exposure concerns.
