Official explanation: Silicone oil usually refers to linear polysiloxane products that remain in liquid state at room temperature. It is generally divided into two categories: methyl silicone oil and modified silicone oil. The most commonly used silicone oil - methyl silicone oil, also known as ordinary silicone oil, has all methyl groups. Methyl silicone oil has good chemical stability, insulation, and good hydrophobic properties.
Popular explanation: Siloxane Si-O-Si bonds constitute a polymer with a main chain structure. It is usually called silicone or polysilicone, which can be a linear, cyclic or cross-linked polymer.
I believe everyone has some understanding of silicone oil at this point, but some time ago, some consumers were even more afraid of silicone, which mainly involved traditional shampoos containing silicone oil. Probably because of the overwhelming advertising, many people have already determined in their hearts that silicone oil in shampoo is a "big villain" - we "diligently" wash our hair, but because it interferes, causing various problems with our hair.
In fact, silicone oil has been working tirelessly in the field of hair care for nearly 50 years, but in recent years it has suddenly stood at the forefront of the storm and has become a target of public criticism. It is really unfair.
The advantages of adding silicone oil to skin care products are generally:
A: Very good antistatic ability, static electricity disappears after application on the skin surface, and the dust removal effect is good;
B: It forms a layer of waterproof and breathable protection on the skin surface, and has a light luster, which can be used for waterproofing liquid foundation;
C: In some cream systems, if there are more high-grade fatty alcohols in the system, adding silicone oil can effectively improve the phenomenon of white strips when applied;
D: Increase the compatibility of various skin care oils;
E: It is compatible with many ingredients in cosmetics, can reduce the sticky feeling, and can be used as a co-solvent and solid dispersant. Add it to refreshing creams, facial cleansers, lotions, lotions, and makeup;
F: It has a slow-release and fragrance-fixing effect on fragrances, prolongs the fragrance shelf life, and is added to perfumes.
