Findings

Dimethicone and related silicones weren't absorbed through skin or absorbed orally, showed minimal irritation in rabbit and human tests, and didn't cause allergic reactions at concentrations up to 5%. No reproductive or developmental toxicity was found in rats, rabbits, and monkeys at doses tested, though one study noted decreased body weight in treated males.
