2024-02-22The fact is that proper selection of a silicone polymer at a concentration of 5% or less will result in a formula that (1) reduces surface tension, (2) changes the feel, and (3) changes in gl......
2024-02-20This development approach depends on the ability of personal care formulators to deliver products with consumer-perceivable differences that meet market needs. Since product aesthetics are a key at......
2024-02-19Silicone polymers are particularly conducive to this type of development approach because they offer significant consumer aesthetic benefits at low usage levels.......
2024-01-26Most formulators know that water-soluble surfactants can be added to aqueous formulations to alter surface tension, spreadability and feel. Many formulators are unaware that there are so many oil-s......
2024-01-25In many cases, formulators adopt a formulation platform that contains most of the ingredients required for functionality but can be altered to meet varying consumer expectations. The distinguishing......
2024-01-243. Silicone elastomer powder Silicone elastomer powder is generally vinyl polydimethylsiloxane or polymethylsiloxane silsesquioxane cross-linked polymer. Its appearance is white spherical with......
2024-01-22PMSQ not only has the stability of inorganic powder, but also has excellent spreadability, smoothness and fluidity. It also has good waterproofness and certain oil absorption properties. By improvin......
2024-01-192. Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) PMSQ is a spherical powder with a very uniform particle size distribution. It generally has two microstructures. The spherical PMSQ with peak-like protrusion......
2024-01-17Commercially available cosmetic grade silica is generally spherical silica, which is mostly made into hollow microbeads with a size of 2 to 15 μm. Some surfaces have a porous structure, which has go......
2024-01-161.Silica Precipitated silica is mainly used in the cosmetics industry. It is a colorless, transparent and shiny crystal and amorphous powder. It has high hardness, is odorless, chemically iner......
2024-01-15With the increasing popularity of makeup products, powder raw materials are increasingly used in cosmetics. Among them, powders that can improve skin feel are increasingly valued by beauty bra......
2024-01-12After many years, silicone remains one of the most useful materials in cosmetic surgery. As medical technology advances, silicone will surely become more useful in many other fiel......
2024-01-09There has been some controversy about the use of silicone as implants, but recent studies have shown that silicone is safe for use in cosmetic surgery. After many years of r......
2024-01-08Recent trends have found gel silicone becoming more popular for both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Instead of using large pouches of liquid, multiple gel implants are being used in some ......
