Silicone is not a raw material, but a general term. The reporter found that the "Catalogue of Used Cosmetic Raw Materials" (2015 edition) has a total of 333 raw material names related to "silicon". Zhang Taijun, R&D Director of the Tsuen Chi Biotechnology Research Institute, told reporters: "Of these 333 raw materials related to 'silicon', 95% are silicones, which are usually called 'polydimethylsiloxane'; 95% of these 95% of polydimethylsiloxanes are derivatives of silicone oil, which is simply a deep-processed product of silicone oil. In the field of cosmetics, we can roughly understand silicone as polydimethylsiloxane or silicone oil."
