FAQ

Why is Dimethicone used in lip balm products?

Creates a silky, smooth feel and fills in fine lines and pores for a flawless appearance. Also acts as a moisture-locking barrier.

How many lip balm products contain Dimethicone?

In our database, 6 lip balm products contain Dimethicone as a flagged ingredient. The actual number on the market is likely much higher, as our database covers major brands but not every product available.

Is Dimethicone more dangerous in lip balm than other products?

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Lip Balm products are applied directly to the lips, where ingredients are ingested through eating and drinking. Daily use may contribute to pore congestion and reduced skin function for acne-prone individuals.
