Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 , You will be able to recognize a form of silicone primarily with the " " cone " ending, or a " siloxane " ending. The first that comes to mind is " dimethicone " . There is also cyclomethicone, polydimethylsiloxane and more. It probably wouldn't hurt to do an internet search on this. I'll see if I can find something. As long as you are avoiding silicone products, you might want to check out this list as well, to avoid other toxic ingredients. The list is farily long, but worth having! http://www.suisskin.com/toxicskincareingredients/ Patty > > Good Day Ladies! > > Yesterday I went to a health food store and was looking for general personal care items.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Here's another site that lists toxic ingredients in personal care products: http://www.hallgold.com/toxic-chemical-ingredients- directory.htm#Dimethicone , > You will be able to recognize a form of silicone primarily with > the " " cone " ending, or a " siloxane " ending. > > The first that comes to mind is " dimethicone " .

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I know a man who works at the Maybeline mfg facility in Little Rock . . . He tells me that barrels of chemicals used for cosmetics have labels identifying them as Toxic! . . . What we won't do for beauty!
