Are you familiar with the application of medium-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil in cream, high-viscosity and ultra-high-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil in shampoo and hair care, and low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil in cosmetics and skin care formulations?
Generally, we will choose different cosmetics according to the nature of the skin and the season. Dry skin or autumn and winter season are more suitable for moisturizing products. Oily skin or hot summer is more suitable for refreshing texture. Depending on the market demand, formulators will also make products with different viscosities. When developing refreshing products, low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil becomes the preferred oil for formulators.


In fact, with the increase of degree of polymerization, the viscosity of dimethyl silicone oil will also increase. Low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil generally includes 5, 10, 20 cSt three viscosities. Compared with conventional medium viscosity dimethyl silicone oil (50, 100, 200, 350, 500, 1000 cSt), low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil has a cleaner skin because of its lower viscosity. We usually use refreshing non-sticky skin care products, hair care products, it is the use of low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil.
In addition to skin feel advantages, low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil in the formulation process will be more convenient, which is due to the compatibility advantages of low viscosity. Experiments show that low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil can be perfectly compatible with commonly used 26 # and 15 # white oil, thus avoiding the emulsification problem caused by conventional medium viscosity dimethyl silicone oil. Excellent compatibility, lightweight skin feeling and excellent solubility to various common oils make low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil can be applied to oil-in-water, oil-in-water, oil-in-oil system. It is said to be a universal oil for skin care and hair care. It is also true!

Material with such a small molecular weight must have a very high requirement for the production process. Colin can provide a variety of low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oils, including KM-10cSt, 20cSt, etc., benefiting from low molecular weight, these low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oils are more volatile. Therefore, the products can be used in some special cosmetics, such as foaming mask. Foaming mask is a kind of fast foaming product on the skin surface when used. It is usually made of ether or low viscosity two methyl silicone oil. However, ethers generally take 15-30 seconds to produce distinct bubbles, which is not conducive to consumer experience. Using lower viscosity two methyl silicone oil as foaming agent can quickly bubble 5S in mask. When used with ethers, bubbles can be produced quickly and evenly.
