    Most conditioners contain silicone. Why would you put that in your hair?

      For long hair it helps with combing. Just like the old silicone spray for ballpoint mice, it reduces friction with the comb.

      Most lotions contain dimethicone, a silicone relative.

      They both work by being moisture barriers, preventing moisture loss (for hand lotion).

      As someone who struggles with skin issues, I don’t even bother with lotions that don’t have dimethicone, they’re practically useless for me.
