The difference
Silicone cures through different chemistries. Platinum-cure systems typically leave fewer by-products and are widely used in medical and food-contact applications; tin-cure is common in cheaper moulding. Details differ by manufacturer.
How to check
- Ask the seller in writing which cure is used - Request material documents if available - Be wary of unusually low-priced "silicone" dolls (price red flags) We cannot verify a seller's claims independently, so use this as a question list. See also silicone pros and cons.

It is generally preferred for body-contact products, but the quality of the finished doll depends on much more than cure type.
02How can I verify the silicone type?
Ask the seller in writing, request documentation, and treat vague answers as a warning sign.
