Summary

Antifoaming Moisturizing Skin Softening Soothing

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a silicone compound, Polysilicone-2 functions by forming a non-occlusive film on the skin's surface. This film can aid in reducing transepidermal water loss, thereby supporting moisturization, and contributes to a smoother skin feel while potentially offering a soothing effect.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Unknown

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that Polysilicone-2 is safe for use in cosmetics specifically as a surface modifier (e.e., when encapsulating metal oxides). However, for other applications such as antifoaming, hair conditioning, or viscosity increasing, the available data were deemed insufficient to determine its safety for independent use.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Polysilicone-2 offers potential emollient properties and is deemed safe for specific surface modification roles, its independent use for direct skin benefits lacks sufficient safety data as per CIR's assessment, warranting caution for standalone applications.
