Nylon-12 is also used as a thickening agent to adjust the consistency of products.
Side effects
Nylon-12 is generally considered to be safe.

I normally stay away from nylon products as I love the natural stuff more compared to the artificial one.
Reading that the nylon doesn’t have any side-effects is a good feeling now.
LatestGirls´s last [type] ..What is Organic Makeup
LatestGirls, I don’t think that natural ingredients are better than synthetic ones. I think that are good and bad ingredients, regardless of their origin. It is true though that for some people natural ingredients work better. And I agree, it’s good to find an ingredient without side effects.
