Application of silicone in cosmetics-Structural properties of silicone
Organic silicon is a semi-inorganic, semi-organic polymer compound with a spiral structure in space. This determines that it has excellent properties: lubricity, hydrophobicity, physiological inertness, resistance to ultraviolet radiation and compatibility, etc., which provides various possibilities for improving the performance of cosmetics.
Silicone materials enter the field of cosmetics and undergo rigorous toxicological research. It has been confirmed that this type of material has no toxicity in the oral test, no allergies in the skin irritation test, no damage in the eye irritation test, no abnormalities in the absorption toxicity test, no poisoning in gastric absorption and metabolic functions, no adverse effects in the genetic test, and no environmental impact test. bioconcentration phenomenon.
