Ingredient
Silica Silylate
Positive in 1 product Neutral in 1
Scout's take
Surface-treated silica with trimethylsilyl groups for hydrophobic oil absorption; provides volume and hold. Despite the 'silyl' prefix this is NOT a film-forming silicone polymer -- it doesn't build up on hair or block washing. EWG 1.
More from Scout's analyses
Silica is used for its oil-absorbing properties and helps improve the texture of the product. It is considered safe for topical application but can be a concern if inhaled in powder form.
