What role does silicone oil play in cosmetics


Polydimethylsiloxane, commonly known as dimethylsilicone oil, is a colorless, tasteless, non-toxic and non irritant product, which has chemical stability, heat resistance, cold resistance, hydrophobicity, lubricity, high refractivity, storage stability and compatibility with long-term cosmetics. According to the requirements and characteristics of its use, the three characteristics are generally applied to cosmetics.


1. It has low surface tension, good lubricating effect on the skin, combined with appropriate viscosity, so that other components of the cosmetics are easy to disperse and expand into films on the skin. At the same time, its debonding can be combined with Vaseline, paraffin, beeswax, lanolin to get non greasy products.


Second, it has low volatility, which can give cosmetics quick drying, smooth and antifouling properties. The skin care products formulated with silicone oil can not only moisturize the skin to form a protective coating resistant to acid, alkali, salt and organic solvent, but also protect the normal breathing of the skin and treat dermatitis and eczema.


3. It has good hydrophobicity and dissolves various vitamins, fungicides, etc. the cosmetics made of it can form a very thin hydrophobic film on the skin surface, which is not afraid of soap washing, but can effectively extend the effect of nutrition cream and medicine cream.


To sum up, the sunscreen with silicone oil will not lose due to sea bath or sweating, which can effectively prevent the harm of UV. With silicone oil foundation cream, it can protect skin from pigment and solvent. The antiperspirant and deodorant made of silicone oil is non irritating and non allergic to the skin, and can reduce pore blockage, clean the skin and remove stains. Hair care products prepared with silicone oil, such as hair oil, hair cream, mousse, etc., can comb hair at any temperature into the desired hair style, and can effectively prevent external moisture infiltration or water evaporation imbalance. With silicone oil hair oil and other products, can make hair soft, smooth, not tangled, and can maintain the stability of hair style, reduce the time of blowing and setting. Cosmetics containing silicone oil or other silicone, lipstick, powder, eyelash oil, eye care oil, cosmetic pens, nail polish, perm and blush, do not contain too much fat, promote the spread and distribution of cosmetic components, and extend the effective time.
