Silicone Classroom-What are the applications of silicone oils in cosmetics?
Silicone has the unique properties of being compatible with the skin, having good compatibility with the substrate, being hydrophobic and breathable, being resistant to chemical corrosion, and being moist but not greasy. Therefore, it is widely used in almost all cosmetics such as skin care products, hair care products, baby products, beauty cosmetics, and antiperspirants, deodorants, and sunscreen products for the body, becoming a multifunctional component in cosmetics. While retaining its original properties, cosmetics containing silicone can greatly enhance its lubrication, breathability, softness, antistatic, film-forming, smoothness, mildew resistance, antifouling, and radiation resistance, so that the cosmetics can remain on the surface of the skin or where they are applied for a longer time. In addition, it can also be used in the manufacture of cosmetics to eliminate mixed air and unnecessary bubbles, making the cosmetics themselves smooth and soft.
