Limited information available.

New Zealand albino rabbit does (n = 30) exhibited increased numbers of resorption sites when siloxanes and silicones, 3-hydroxypropyl Me, di-Me, ethoxylated (generic CAS No. 68937-54-2; 200 mg/kg in corn oil) were dermally administered to shaved backs of the does (~10% body surface) on gestation days 6 to 18.19 The two control groups were administered the vehicle or nothing. Does were killed and necropsied on gestation day 29. There were no deaths attributed to the test material. One pup in the treatment group displayed clubbing of the extremities, partial acranius, and an umbilical hernia. The 24-hour survival of fetuses, abnormalities in the fetuses, and number of abnormal fetuses were similar across the control groups exposed to the vehicle or unexposed to both the test material and the vehicle. No dermal effects were reported for the dams. BIS-PEG-15 METHYL ETHYL DIMETHICONE Bis-PEG-15 methyl ethyl dimethicone was reported to not be a reproductive toxin in a material safety data sheet (MSDS). No further information was provided.

General safety info about Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane from CIR

The functions of these ingredients include hair conditioning agents, viscosity increasing agents, emulsion stabilizers, and film formers (Figure 1). In 1982, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel published a safety assessment of dimethicone copolyol with a safe as used conclusion. 1 At the time, the term dimethicone copolyol referred to polymers of dimethylsiloxane with polyoxyethylene and/or polypropylene side chains. These polymers included straight-chain dimethicone polymers (up to 10000 repeating units of dimethyl polysiloxanes); cyclized dimethicones; silica-activated dimethicones; and cyclized dimethicone copolyol forms. The summary of the 1982 safety assessment is provided below. Since the 1982 report, the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) labeling conventions have changed and each such compound has an individually assigned name and is no longer covered under the umbrella term of dimethicone copolyol.2 In a re-review of dimethicone copolyol, published in 2005, the Panel identified several of these ingredients and included them under the safe as used conclusion reaffirmation.1 These ingredients are listed in Table 1. This safety assessment does not include any cyclized dimethicones, only linear copolymers. Several structurally related ingredients have been reviewed by the Panel. All of these ingredients were safe as used or safe with qualifications and are presented in Table 1. Dilinoleic acid is a cosmetic ingredient that has not yet been reviewed by the Panel.
