CorkyskogRemember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such?
TeppichbrandThere’s still shampoo with silicone as an ingedient, so your hair feels silky smooth. Because it wraps every single hair in invisible microplastic.
Silicone is a far cry from plastics though. It’s a non carbon based oil. Plastics are polymers. There’s no commonality whatsoever.
Silicones are also polymers. Polymer means many-chains. Any repeated chemical unit is a polymer. Another example is PLA (poly lactic acid) is a non-petroleum based polymer. It’s literally lactic acid.
Are you trying to say that silicone isn’t a petroleum based product?
You’re right, I got confused. My point is silicone can be washed away with soap, you can’t do that with plastics. It’s not fair to compare both.
