It is used in serums, creams, toners, and hair products that need silicone softness without a greasy film. It is a functional texture agent, not a skincare active. Pregnancy safety. The molecule is large, barely penetrates skin, is systemically negligible, and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance.
