Expert Verdict
Very limited safety data — thiosulfate functional group is unusual in cosmetic silicones. CPSR assessor must obtain full supplier tox dossier. Cannot rely on standard PEG/PPG dimethicone read-across alone due to unique thiosulfate chemistry. Potassium counterion — verify electrolyte compatibility in formulation. 1,4-Dioxane and D4/D5 controls apply.
