What Are Silicone Beads Made Of, and How Do They Differ from Plastic Beads?
Silicone beads are made of food-grade polysiloxane, a silica-derived polymer that’s soft, flexible, and safe for baby or skin-contact products. Plastic beads, on the other hand, are petroleum-based (like polypropylene or acrylic), harder, less temperature‑resistant, and may release toxins when heated.
