silicone-based

Rubbery synthetic compound

Silicone-based describes products or materials made primarily with silicone, a synthetic polymer prized for its flexibility, water resistance, and stability across temperatures.

The term appears most often with lubricants, sealants, and cosmetics: silicone-based primer, silicone-based lube.

It typically distinguishes a product from water-based or oil-based alternatives.
