Many cosmetics in our market contain silicone oil products. Just like using alcohol in our cosmetics, many people feel that using alcohol is not good for the skin, but in fact, our alcohol can help dissolve many difficult to dissolve ingredients.

In addition to direct use, polydimethylsiloxane is used to disperse methyl silicone oil well, facilitate impregnation, spraying, and improve efficiency. It can also be prepared into solution type, lipid type and lotion type for use. Both it and its derivatives are high-quality raw materials for cosmetics, with good skincare functions, and belong to the category of synthetic oils in cosmetics. This product is non-toxic and non irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, but it is generally recognized as safe as it is irritating to the eyes.

The moisturizing properties of polydimethylsiloxane, also known as silicone or silicone oil, are a general term for these substances. In cosmetics, it has lubricating properties, UV resistance, good breathability, and obvious dustproof function. It is also used to replace traditional oil raw materials in cosmetics. This is based on the good softness of polydimethylsiloxane, which is usually used in moisturizing products in skincare products, and some high-end skincare products are also applied.

The permeability of polydimethylsiloxane is very good. The smooth and refreshing feeling of skincare products applied to the skin is usually due to the addition of this raw material, which itself has a good effect on increasing the softness of the skin. In hair care and shampoo products, it can deepen the color of hair and help maintain its natural luster. Basically, this ingredient can be found in shampoo that can make hair smooth.

In cosmetics, polydimethylsiloxane is required to have low viscosity, good volatility, easy cleaning, and a maximum usage ratio of over 15%. The conclusion of the expert group on cosmetic ingredient review is that dimethylsiloxane and related derivatives are "used in formula safe cosmetics".
Dimethyl silicone oil can be used in cosmetics, but it needs to be special and sufficient in this proportion.
