“…Analysis of the total fluorine concentrations from PIGE revealed interesting trends within the selected categories. High fluorine levels were found in products commonly advertised as “wear-resistant” to water and oils or “long-lasting” including foundations, liquid lipsticks, and waterproof mascaras. − These terms align with the functionality given for the use of many PFAS in cosmetics in industrial literature. − The percentage of products with high fluorine concentrations in foundations, mascaras, and lip products suggested a possible link to the use of fluorinated ingredients in their manufacturing. Hence, foundations, mascaras, and lip products were selected for targeted MS analyses.…”

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a highly persistent and potentially toxic class of chemicals, are added to cosmetics to increase their durability and water resistance. To assess this potential health and environmental risk, 231 cosmetic products purchased in the U.S. and Canada were screened for total fluorine using particle-induced gamma-ray emission spectroscopy. Of the eight categories tested, foundations, mascaras, and lip products had the highest proportion of products with high total fluorine ≥0.384 μg F/cm2. Twenty-nine products including 20 with high total fluorine concentrations were analyzed using targeted LC-MS/MS and GC-MS. PFAS concentrations ranged from 22–10,500 ng/g product weight, with an average and a median of 264 and 1050 ng/g product weights, respectively. Here, 6:2 and 8:2 fluorotelomer compounds, including alcohols, methacrylates, and phosphate esters, were most commonly detected. These compounds are precursors to PFCAs that are known to be harmful. The ingredient lists of most products tested did not disclose the presence of fluorinated compounds exposing a gap in U.S. and Canadian labeling laws. The manufacture, use, and disposal of cosmetics containing PFAS are all potential opportunities for health and ecosystem harm. Given their direct exposure routes into people, better regulation is needed to limit the widespread use of PFAS in cosmetics.

“…The color cosmetics include inter alia liquid makeup and loose and pressed powders. Typically, the color cosmetics consist of pigments and waxes suspended in carrier oils as well as film-formers [ 2 ]. When the product is applied on the skin, the volatile compounds evaporate, and the film containing pigments and oils remain on the skin surface.…”

“…However, in recent years, much attention has been also paid to other advanced silicones that bring long-lasting benefits for skincare products. Apart from trimethylsiloxysilicate (MQ resins), silsesquioxane resins were also proposed to be used in long-wear cosmetics [ 2 ]. A mixture of two silicone resins such as trimethylsiloxysilicate and polypropylsilsesquioxane (Dow Corning MQ-1650 Flake Resin) is applied in color cosmetics and skin care products.…”

“…In recent years, silicones have become more and more significant in modern cosmetic products. However, it should be mentioned that silicones were first applied in personal care formulations in the 1940s [ 2 ]. Since that time, the rapid increase in the production of cosmetics containing this class of compounds has been observed [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

Silsesquioxanes in the Cosmetics Industry—Applications and Perspectives

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rising demand for innovative and sophisticated personal care products is a driving factor for manufacturers to obtain new formulations that will fulfill the customers’ preferences. In recent years, silsesquioxanes have attracted the attention of the cosmetics industry. These compounds have been proposed to be used in novel cosmetic formulations as emollient, dispersant, and viscosity modifiers. Therefore, this publication aims to review the main important aspects of polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes as ingredients of personal care formulations, taking into consideration different types of products. The methods of obtaining these compounds were also presented. Additionally, the detailed analysis of patents dedicated to the application of silsesquioxanes in cosmetic formulations was also performed.
