Silicone-free checker
Paste an ingredient list. We read every name and tell you which ones fall in the silicone family under INCI naming rules — and why. No ratings, no verdict on the product, no advice.
What counts as silicone here
Silicones are recognised by INCI suffixes: -cone (dimethicone, amodimethicone), -conol, -siloxane (cyclopentasiloxane), -silane, silsesquioxane, and the trimethylsiloxysilicate resins. Silica and silicates (mica, talc, bentonite, kaolin) are minerals, not silicones, and are not flagged.
This is a name check on the list you paste: each ingredient name is tested against the naming rules above. It cannot see trade names, undeclared components, or a brand's own definition of “silicone-free” — that claim is theirs. If a name is missed or wrongly matched, tell us.
Looking for pore-cloggers instead?
The main checker matches each ingredient against published comedogenicity ratings with their source and confidence tier. The two checks are independent: a list can match none of the rules on this page and still contain a 5/5 ingredient, or the reverse.
