Abstract (EN): Recently, Pierre Germain from CES - Silicon Europe published a comment on the paper "Volatile methylsiloxanes in personal care products - Using QuEChERS as a "green" analytical approach", raising concerns that the artefacts employed in the analysis of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) were not adequately controlled, while using this example as an opportunity to emphasize the difficulties associated with siloxanes analyses in complex matrices such as personal care products (PCPs). We are now addressing these concerns and conveying some clarifications regarding the experiments performed to validate the analytical method adequately. Those details were not included in the original publication because the objective was the quantification of VMS in several PCPs.
