At Les Sens de Marrakech, we've long championed silicone-free shampoos, like our silicone-free hair and body shower gel for men, and other natural formulations. But why do so many prefer them over conventional options?
Is silicone really that harmful?
Silicone, a petroleum-derived ingredient, is popular in cosmetics for its affordability and ability to create a silky, temporary sheen on skin and hair. However, as experts in natural Moroccan skincare with years of experience crafting argan oil-based products, we at Les Sens de Marrakech have never incorporated silicones—and we never will. We prioritize your skin's health and the planet's well-being.
Silicones aren't active ingredients; they don't nourish, protect, or repair. They're essentially useless for skincare, yet they persist in the environment for up to 500 years and some act as potential endocrine disruptors.
More concerning, repeated use builds an impermeable barrier on skin and hair, blocking absorption of beneficial nutrients. This is why those using silicone-heavy hair serums often struggle with coloring—nothing penetrates the coating. The same applies to skin treatments.
Scan ingredient lists for names ending in "silicone oil" (the most obvious) or suffixes like "-siloxane," "-silane," or "-thicone." You'll be surprised how ubiquitous they are.
For optimal skin and hair care, opt for silicone-free products. At Les Sens de Marrakech, we've replaced silicones with premium natural vegetable oils like argan, sunflower, and sweet almond. Though costlier and trickier to formulate, they deliver unmatched nourishment.
