What are the advantages of using silicone oil in cosmetics?
Silicone oil has excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, weather resistance, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness, and small surface tension. In addition, it also has low viscosity temperature coefficient and high compression resistance. Some varieties also have radiation resistance.
Silicone oil can be well used in cosmetic production to improve the performance of cosmetics. Silicone oil has a combination of low surface tension and viscosity, which can make other components of cosmetics easy to diffuse into films on the skin without viscosity. The viscosity removal performance of silicone oil enables it to cooperate with vaseline, paraffin wax, beeswax, lanolin, etc. to obtain non greasy products. Volatile silicone oil can give cosmetics fast drying, smooth, antifouling luster and other properties. As a carrier of cosmetics, it can quickly dissipate and make other components of cosmetics into evenly distributed films, which is very important in eye beauty products and nail polish.
In hair care products, silicone oil can increase the luster of hair, while also shaping and preventing hair from sticking together. In shampoo, silicone oil can make hair easy to comb.
In skincare products, the hydrophobic film formed by silicone oil can prevent other components from being washed away by water and maintain normal skin ventilation. Currently, silicone oil has become an important component or additive in many cosmetics.
