The role of silicone gel in cosmetics-Cosmetic Silicone Oil Manufacturer

Silicone gel can be regarded as discrete cross-linked silicone elastomer gel particles dispersed in a carrier fluid. It can be used as an effective rheological thickener for low molecular weight silicone fluids and can be added to skin care products and In cosmetic products, it can provide both the mild initial feel and film-forming feel of low molecular weight silicone fluids, while maintaining the high viscosity of skin care and cosmetic products.
Some commonly used moisturizers such as glycerin will produce a greasy feeling when added in large amounts in skin care and makeup products, making it difficult for the product to distribute and spread on the skin; while panthenol or niacinamide, etc., are used in skin care and makeup products When adding a large amount, it will produce a sticky feeling. In order to improve the spreadability and refreshing feeling of skin care products and makeup products, it is generally necessary to add low molecular weight silicone fluids to give the cosmetic composition a dry, smooth, even feel and increase visual gloss. However, while the low molecular weight silicone fluid imparts the desired properties to the composition, its volatile and low viscosity characteristics make it difficult to remain in the preparation, easy to separate, and may even flow uncontrolled during use. crosses the skin, limiting its use in cosmetic compositions. If ordinary thickeners are used to increase the viscosity of the solution and slow down the evaporation loss of volatile low molecular weight silicone oil, it may reduce the spreadability of the silicone oil and leave a severe slippery feeling on the skin.
Silicone gel for cosmetics can be regarded as an effective thickener for low molecular weight silicone fluids, providing a unique dry and silky skin feel. Therefore, it has become a daily chemical raw material with great development potential and has good market applications. prospect.
