here are some of the facts

Question: Tell me more about the silicone rubber. What are its properties? What should I be aware of? What if I'm allergic to it?

The high grade of silicone we use for REALDOLL 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 her flesh a more realistic feel and greater elasticity. Immediately after de-mold, REALDOLL's skin is 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 to remove any tackiness. You are much more likely to be allergic to the baby powder than the silicone.

Question: Are there any known health risks? How clean are they and how difficult is it to keep them in a sanitary condition?

There are no known health risks associated with REALDOLL. Each REALDOLL receives a thorough acetone bath after fabrication. Keeping the doll in a sanitary condition is easy. REALDOLL can be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent. Every REALDOLL comes with a cleaning kit and easy-to-follow instructions for care and use.

doesnt say much still though
