Silicone cosmetics are the most widely used basic raw materials in color cosmetics. It can be said that without silicone, color cosmetics will lose many important functions. In color cosmetics, silicone oil is extremely important for color durability, waterproof performance, spreadability, and skin feel.


In addition, silicone compounds are often added to skin care products, such as polydimethylsiloxane, PEG-n-polydimethylsiloxane, silicone wax, and silicone elastomer. Among them, polydimethylsiloxane is generally used in skin care products with low viscosity, which has a smooth skin feel, improves stickiness, and defoaming effect (avoids whitening when skin care products are applied); silicone wax also plays a similar role, including oil-soluble silicone wax and water-soluble silicone wax. Compared with silicone oil, water solubility and oil solubility are greatly improved, which improves the compatibility of silicone compounds; silicone elastomer is a polymer microsphere formed by silicone, which has the effects of smooth skin feel, filling fine lines, forming matte, and improving appearance in skin care products.
