In the 80’s and 90’s hair loss was mainly a concern for those with hormone distruptions.
Men with too much testosterone & women dealing with menopausal hormonal disruptions (thus testosterone, again).
As silicone made its way into mainstream beauty products in the 90’s the increase in hair loss challenges has exploded.

In the early 2000’s, we saw what was happening and blew the whistle.
We even had major mass marketers tell us we were crazy and that no one was going to want to buy our products to grow hair!
Good thing we didn’t listen to them!
And, now, here we are.
Hair Loss gone amuck.
Of all the factors that exacerbate hair loss, here’s a quick summary of the silicone derivatives that YOU WANT to know about.
It’s not all of them, as they keep inventing more versions to replace the older ones, so that they can “cover up” the problem with clever marketing, so that you won’t recognize the silicone poisons.
Silicone Derivatives to Avoid (Highlights)
the following silicone-based ingredients are explicitly listed as problematic:
-
Dimethicone
-
Phenyl Trimethicone
-
Amodimethicone
-
Dimethicone Copolyol
-
Cyclomethicone
-
Cyclopentasiloxane
The rule of thumb to watch for suffixes like “‑cone,” “‑one,” or “‑ane” on ingredient lists. Additional silicone-related names to avoid include:
-
Simethicone
-
Silicone Quaternium‑8
-
Trimethylsiloxyamodimethicone
-
Dimethiconol
-
Dimethicone PEG‑7
-
Polysilicone-9
-
Divinyl-Dimethicone
-
Dimethicone Copolymer
-
PEG‑12 Dimethicone
-
