How Realdolls are fabricated and detailed.
The high grade of silicone we use for Realdoll products is also used by the movie special effects industry for make-up effects and for animatronic creatures. It has a high degree of flexibility and resists tearing. The specific formulation used by Realdoll contains a harmless oil suspended between the molecules of silicone, which gives the flesh a more realistic feel and greater elasticity. The silicone skin can feel slightly tacky because its surface area sweats a very small amount of the oil. This diminishes over time and we recommend the use of baby powder or talcum powder to remove any tackiness. You are much more likely to be allergic to the baby powder than the silicone. We have never had a report of a negative health reaction to our silicone – it is inert and non-toxic when used as directed.
