Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for hand cream sales, and polydimethylsiloxane is an essential additive for hand cream products.


In addition to moisturizing and emollients, washing and care products also contain a large number of silicone ingredients. The reporter learned from interviews with Du Xiaohua, director of Lafang Supply Chain Center, and silicone raw material agents of brands such as Dow Corning and Wacker that this year, affected by the epidemic, the sales of most washing and care companies have generally remained stable with a slight decline, among which the sales of disinfection products have increased significantly, while the sales of shampoo, shower gel and other products have dropped significantly. In general, the amount of silicone oil added and consumed by disinfection products is not large, and the demand for silicone oil is weak, so there is insufficient momentum for silicone oil price increases in the short term.
