Silicone-free
27 pieces whose published ingredient lists contain no silicone: most of the skincare, lip and body pieces, and a mascara and a setting powder among the makeup. Silicones give foundations, primers and eyeshadows their slip, so most of the complexion and eye pieces use them. The 13 that do are named below, with the silicone.
What we count as a silicone: anything ending in -methicone or -siloxane (dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, phenyl trimethicone) and their relatives, such as polymethylsilsesquioxane and siloxysilicates. Silica isn’t a silicone: it is a mineral, silicon dioxide, and it appears on some of these lists.

Questions
Most people choose it for environmental reasons, since some silicones persist in the environment, or because they don’t like the slippery feel. Silicones themselves are considered safe on skin.
No. Silica is a mineral, silicon dioxide. Silicones are synthetic polymers made from silicon, and they end in -methicone or -siloxane on a list.
They aren’t generally considered pore-clogging, and dimethicone is common in products made for breakout-prone skin. If you break out, the whole formula matters more than one ingredient.
