Dimethicone?

I decided to go CG. My hair has always been pretty dry and fluffy, so after reading up about the method I figured that it was at least worth trying.
I'm wondering though... I bought a Suave Naturals conditioner, as suggested by many posts, and used it this morning alongside Tresemme Naturals. After I'd already used them both, I was glancing over the ingredients and saw "dimethicone" in the Suave Naturals conditioner. I have the Almond and Shea Butter formula - maybe the type makes a difference?
I'm bringing this up because a LOT of people have suggested these as good, cheap, and silicone-free conditioners, yet there is a silicone around 5 ingredients into the list? Does it depend solely on the kind you buy, or is dimethicone truly not that harmful?
Thank you!
