TETRAMETHYL HEXAPHENYL TETRASILOXANE.

Insufficient Data CAS 38421-40-8 / SKIN CONDITIONING

TETRAMETHYL HEXAPHENYL TETRASILOXANE is a silicone derivative employed for its skin conditioning properties. It functions by creating a gentle, occlusive barrier on the skin's surface, which aids in moisture retention and supports the overall skin barrier function.

Summary

skin conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a member of the silicone polymer family, TETRAMETHYL HEXAPHENYL TETRASILOXANE operates by forming a delicate, non-greasy film over the epidermis. This polymeric layer effectively minimizes transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby enhancing skin hydration levels and contributing to the restoration of optimal skin homeostasis.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed a broad category including TETRAMETHYL HEXAPHENYL TETRASILOXANE (dimethicone, methicone, and substituted-methicone polymers), concluding they are safe in cosmetic applications when formulated to be non-irritating. However, data are insufficient regarding safety for products potentially inhaled via airbrush technology. No specific GHS classifications, hazard statements, or determined oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity data have been reported for TETRAMETHYL HEXAPHENYL TETRASILOXANE by The Good Scents Company.
