As a bulk commodity at the beginning of raw materials, silicone needs to be processed by downstream industries and synthesized into ingredients such as polydimethylsiloxane before it can become a cosmetic raw material that is allowed to be added. Whether its price increase can really affect the price of terminal products is still worth studying.
Although the price of cosmetic raw materials will be slightly adjusted with the price of bulk commodities, the production cost of cosmetics is only part of the reason for the impact of terminal prices, among which the price of raw materials only accounts for a small part of the production cost. Even if polydimethylsiloxane accounts for a large proportion of the ingredients in a certain product, it will basically not affect the sharp fluctuation of its terminal price.
