As a core component in cosmetic formulations, cosmetic silicone oil, with its advantages of mildness, skin-friendliness and versatility, has been deeply penetrated into many segmented scenarios such as skin care, makeup and hair care, covering various products such as toners, lotions, creams, foundations, lipsticks and shampoos. At the same time, with the improvement of consumers' safety awareness and the increasing stringency of industry supervision, the safety and compliance of cosmetic silicone oil have become the focus of the industry, and its application and development have always focused on the three core principles of "safety, effectiveness and compliance".
The skin care field is the core application scenario of cosmetic silicone oil, and its core application is skin feel adjustment and moisturizing repair. In moisturizing skin care products, silicone oil forms a breathable protective film to reduce water evaporation on the skin surface, and synergizes with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramide to improve moisturizing effect, adapting to various skin types such as dry skin and combination dry skin; in refreshing skin care products, modified silicone oil, with good hydrophilicity and air permeability, can not only adjust skin feel and avoid greasiness, but also achieve basic moisturizing, adapting to oily skin and combination oily skin. In addition, in sensitive skin care products, high-purity silicone oil, with its mild and non-irritating properties, can reduce the damage of external stimuli to the skin and assist in repairing the skin barrier.
In the makeup field, the key application of cosmetic silicone oil is to improve the fit, durability and user experience of products. In base makeup products, such as foundations and cushions, silicone oil can improve the spreadability of products, making them easier to apply and evenly fit. At the same time, it forms a waterproof and sweat-proof film to extend the makeup duration and avoid makeup removal and powder clumping; in lip makeup products, such as lipsticks and lip glosses, silicone oil can increase the lubricity of products, improve the application feel, and enhance the gloss and durability of lip makeup, reducing dryness and peeling; in eye makeup products, silicone oil can improve the adhesion of eye shadows and eyeliners, avoid smudging, and reduce irritation to the eye skin.
Safety and compliance are the premise for the application of cosmetic silicone oil, and countries around the world have formulated strict standards for its use. China's "Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications" clearly stipulates that the purity of cosmetic silicone oil must reach more than 99%, harmful impurities are prohibited, and the addition amount of silicone oil in different types of cosmetics has clear limits to ensure its safe use. At the same time, with the popularization of the concept of "green skin care", environmentally friendly products such as naturally modified silicone oil and degradable silicone oil are constantly emerging, which not only meet the requirements of safety and compliance, but also conform to consumers' demand for environmentally friendly products.
Today, the application of cosmetic silicone oil has achieved full-category coverage, and its safety, compliance and application adaptability are constantly improving. With the continuous tightening of industry supervision and the continuous progress of technology, cosmetic silicone oil will further develop in the direction of safety, environmental protection and refinement, not only providing high-quality raw material support for the cosmetics industry, but also better meeting consumers' demand for safe, efficient and comfortable cosmetics.
