Silicone oil is used a lot in our life.Whether it is used as a medical aid or textile aid, it is used a lot in our life.Silicone oil products are also widely used in cosmetics.What are the characteristics of silicone oil that can be used in cosmetics? 

    1. Polydimethylsiloxane

    A clear, colorless, odorless liquid.Widely used in creams and hair cosmetics, can improve the skin smooth and delicate, and no greasy and residual feeling, can also make hair soft, smooth, improve combing and increase luster.Lip balm made of polydimethylsiloxane can make lips soft, no dry feeling, smooth coating durable.

The shampoo with high content of polydimethylsiloxane feels soft and smooth when washing hair, and has good combing performance after water. No matter how thick or thin the hair is and how damaged it is, it can be combed to the end. The hair is glossy and soft after cool (blow) drying, and it feels like holding black silk in the hand.

    2 Polymethylphenyl siloxane

    Colorless transparent liquid, and its physical properties vary with changes of molecular weight, the phenyl and high thermal stability of phenyl content increased, and it has good radiation resistance, widely used as a hair with matrix and cream cosmetics raw material, the film forming ability, small irritating to skin and eyes, safe to human body, can be used as a mask film-former, hair conditioner and sunscreen in radiation resistant agent.

    3 Polydimethylcyclosiloxane

    There are two main types, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5).D4 and D5 are colorless and transparent liquid, low viscosity, with good volatility, fluidity and spread and very low surface tension and other characteristics, can give cosmetics fast drying, smooth, gloss and other properties, in addition to can be used in skin care, sweat, odor and other products, can also be used in beauty cosmetics and hair gel.

    4 Silicone ethylene glycol copolymer

    This type of silicone oil is a copolymer formed by attaching a hydrophilic polyether group to its hydrophobic polysiloxane linkage.After modification, make it non-ionic, significantly reduce the surface tension, without emulsification can be any proportion and water co-solubilization, often called this type of silicone oil for water soluble silicone oil. In cosmetic applications, it can be used as a conditioner to improve hair combing, make wet and dry combing easy, anti-static and prevent flying, can be used in shampoo, mousse, hair gel and other products.

    5 Amine-based modified silicone oil

    This type of silicone oil is a silicone compound in which the methyl group in polydimethylsiloxane is replaced by an amine alkyl group. Studies have shown that silicone oils with amine functional groups are very unique long-chain conditioners.This kind of silicone oil can improve wetting and lubricity, and has good compatibility with cationic and non-ionic emulsifiers. It is often used in shampoo, conditioner, hair lotion and other products in cosmetics, which can increase the luster and softness of hair, comb, improve the effect of hair fixation, and is easy to wash away.

    6 polysiloxane protein comermer

    The copolymer of silicone oil and protein is an excellent hair conditioner that is not irritating to the skin and eyes. The film formed is close to the surface of the hair and has a good combing and styling effect. It can be used in shampoos, conditioners, mousses and hair gels.

    7 Emulsify silicone oil

    Polydimethylsiloxane emulsion, which can increase hair luster and improve dry and wet combing without residual accumulation, is often used in 2-in-1 conditioning shampoo.

    The above is ZInca to summarize a few points about the use of silicone oil in cosmetics, different cosmetics, the performance characteristics of silicone oil are not the same.Silicone oil is a widely used chemical products, and there will be more use in our life in the future.
