Are Silicone Leather Products Suitable For Sensitive Skin?
The answer is yes. Silicone leather is a new type of environmentally friendly material, is made from food-grade silicone raw materials and is even suitable for baby products. It has the following characteristics:
silicone leather property
The silicone leather uses the same raw materials as baby pacifiers. From raw materials to finished leather, all links are green and pollution-free. The product has passed RoHS testing and Reached SVHC224 high-concern substance testing.
The artificial leather feels more skin-friendly after surface treatment. Silicone leather has a soft and delicate touch like baby skin. The silicone leather product is not allergic to the skin, has no odor, and is not harmful to human health.
Silicone leather products are lightweight, breathable, non-porous, and won’t irritate your skin—all qualities that make them ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Chemical stability and Eco-friendly
The silicone leather has excellent chemical stability, and daily care can make the leather look brand new with a wet towel.Z.S.R. Silicone leather adopts the most advanced coating process, and refuses to use organic solvents and chemical additives in the production process, to ensure that all our silicone leather products meet different environmental protection requirements:
- No PVC and PU components
- No plasticizers, heavy metals, phthalates, heavy metals and bisphenol (BPA)
- No perfluorinated compounds, no stabilizers
- Extremely low VOCs, no formaldehyde, and continuously improve indoor air quality
- Products are safe and non-toxic, non-allergenic
- Recyclable, sustainable materials are more conducive to environmental improvement
About Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is a type of skin that is highly sensitive to external environmental stimuli, intolerant or poorly tolerates skin care products, and feels stinging and discomfort; it may also be accompanied by changes in appearance, such as redness of the skin, erythema, etc.
- Dr. Baumann and others divided sensitive skin into four types:
- Type I is the papulopustular type caused by cosmetic acne;
- Type II is the flushing type that is easily caused by heat, emotional excitement or hot food that leads to dilation of skin blood vessels;
- Type III is characterized by the skin being easily tingled, itchy or burning;
- Type IV is the contact dermatitis type, which includes irritant contact dermatitis, allergic dermatitis and contact urticaria.
Natural biocompatibility
Silicone leather is biocompatible. The safety of silicone leather is due to the characteristics of silicone itself. Silicone shows biocompatibility, physiological inertness and ant coagulability to the human body, and is non-carcinogenic. These characteristics make silicone widely used in modern medicine, such as artificial joints and artificial skin. So the safety of silicone leather, which uses silicone as one of the raw materials will be very good.
The silicone leather is hydrolysis-resistant, anti-fouling, anti-allergic, chemical resistance light resistance, mildew resistance and antibacterial, environmentally friendly, odorless, flame-retardant, and wear-resistant. They fully meet the effectively reduce the risk of infection and allergic reactions requirements of customers of sensitive skin.
What is silicone leather?
Silicone leather is a synthetic leather made of silicone material. It is mainly composed of silicone material, which is an inorganic polymer whose main component is silicon dioxide. The manufacturing process of silicone leather involves combining silicone with various substrates, and coating and bonding silicone on the surface of the substrate through solvent-free technology, thus forming a new type of environmentally friendly artificial leather.
Silicone leather has many excellent properties, such as wear and scratch resistance, natural anti-fouling and waterproof, yellowing resistance, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance. These properties make silicone leather recognized in the high-end market and widely used in various products. In addition, silicone leather has excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, which meets the standards of the medical field. Full silicone leather means that the entire leather product is made of silicone material, while semi-silicone leather means that part of the material is silicone and the other part is other materials.
