Expert Verdict
Silicones are generally well-tolerated and non-comedogenic, but they are poorly biodegradable and can build up on hair over time. Not permitted in certified natural/organic cosmetics. An amodimethicone (amino-functional silicone) end-blocked with C13-15 alkoxy groups and further reacted with glycidol, giving it enhanced substantivity to damaged hair and improved conditioning performance compared to standard dimethicone
