In the process of continuous upgrading of skincare products, sun protection products, and hair care products towards long-lasting makeup retention, persistent care, and refreshing skin sensation, the composite silicone oil raw material with the functions of active ingredient carriers and unique skin sensation regulation capabilities is becoming a key technical path for formula innovation. Our company has launched the product Volatile Silicone Oil and Polydimethylsiloxane Alcohol Compound 1401, with the INCI name of cyclopentasiloxane (and) cyclosiloxane (and) polydimethylsiloxane alcohol. As a functional compound that dissolves ultra-high viscosity polydimethylsiloxane alcohol in the volatile cyclic silicone oil mixture system, it possesses the high proportion of polydimethylsiloxane alcohol that endows the active substances with long-term attachment performance, and the velvet-like smooth skin sensation brought by the volatile silicone oil. It demonstrates significant application value in numerous personal care products such as face creams, lotions, makeup, sunscreen, and hair care, providing high-quality functional carrier options for the personal care industry.


I. Core Physical and Chemical Properties of the Product


The product Volatile Silicone Oil and Polydimethylsiloxane Alcohol Compound 1401 is a transparent to semi-transparent viscous liquid, with a non-volatile substance content of thirteen percent. At a temperature of twenty-five degrees Celsius, its viscosity is six thousand square millimeters per second, the closed cup flash point is fifty-two degrees Celsius, the specific gravity is zero point nine six zero, the refractive index is one point three nine seven, the ice point is minus eighteen degrees Celsius, and the content of cyclosiloxane is less than forty-three percent. This product is a composite system of thirteen percent ultra-high viscosity polydimethylsiloxane alcohol dissolved in the mixed solution of cyclosiloxane and cyclopentasiloxane. The cyclic siloxanes are specially mixed to prevent freezing, and the concentration of polydimethylsiloxane alcohol is precisely controlled to maintain the good fluidity of the product while enabling its film-forming performance.


II. Core Performance Advantages


The Volatile Silicone Oil and Polydimethylsiloxane Alcohol Compound 1401 of the product demonstrates the following core performance advantages in personal care product formulas:


High proportion of polydimethylsiloxane alcohol endows the active substances with long-term attachment performance. The high proportion of polydimethylsiloxane alcohol can form a uniform breathable protective film on the skin or hair surface, enhancing the adhesion and persistence of active ingredients such as sunscreen agents, moisturizers, and humectants through physical interactions, and maintaining good residual effects even under water immersion and soap liquid washing conditions.


Velvet-like smooth skin sensation and reduced greasiness. The product provides a silky and delicate touch experience for the skin, effectively reducing the greasiness of oily formulas, making the product texture more refreshing and comfortable.


Good formula compatibility and active ingredient carrier function. The product can be emulsified or compounded with volatile silicone oil, mineral oil, and cosmetic esters at any time, providing an effective transmission carrier for active ingredients such as sunscreen agents.


Hair care and repair effect. The product has a unique repair effect on split ends, providing a silky texture and moisturizing effect for hair care products.


III. Wide Application Areas


The Volatile Silicone Oil and Polydimethylsiloxane Alcohol Compound 1401 of the product, with its dual advantages of long-term attachment and unique skin sensation, can play a key role in the following personal care product application areas, including:


1. Face creams and skin care lotions. The product enhances the moisturizing effect and skin sensation experience of the formula by forming a long-lasting waterproof film, providing a velvet-like smooth texture, and reducing greasiness.


2. Makeup products. The unique skin sensation makes the product suitable for makeup formulas such as foundation and primer, enhancing the applicability and retention effect of makeup.


3. Sunscreen and self-tanning products. The product can be used to prepare sunscreen emulsions with good application properties, enhancing the attachment and persistence of sunscreen agents on the skin surface, and improving the sunscreen effect.


4. Hair care products. The product provides silky texture and moisturizing effect for hair conditioners, hair oils, and repair essences, especially suitable for repairing split ends. IV. Usage Suggestions and Formula Guidance


In emulsion-based products, the product can be directly added to the oil phase of the formula. If the oil phase needs to melt at a temperature above 60 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to add it slowly at a high-speed shear after the emulsion is formed and when the temperature is below 50 degrees Celsius. For non-emulsion-based products, it is recommended to add other cosmetic components to the organic silicone rather than the reverse operation, as high-molecular-weight polydimethylsiloxane alcohol is incompatible with certain cosmetic components.


V. Packaging Specifications and Storage Conditions


The product should be stored in the original unopened container at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius or lower. This product is flammable with a flash point of 52 degrees Celsius. It should be kept away from heat sources and open flames.


VI. Quality Assurance and Industry Application Value


The volatile silicone oil and polydimethylsiloxane alcohol compound 1401 in the production process has established a strict quality control system. Key indicators such as product appearance, non-volatile substance content, viscosity, flash point, specific gravity, refractive index, and D4 content are monitored throughout the production process to ensure consistency and reliability between batches.


As skincare, sunscreen, and hair care products continue to evolve towards long-lasting makeup retention and long-lasting care, the demand for composite silicone oil raw materials that have both active substance carrier functions and unique skin sensation regulation capabilities is steadily increasing. The volatile silicone oil and polydimethylsiloxane alcohol compound 1401, with its long-lasting adhesion performance provided by the high proportion of polydimethylsiloxane alcohol and the smooth skin sensation brought by volatile silicone oil, as well as its wide range of formula applicability, is becoming an important functional raw material option in the development of face creams, emulsions, sunscreens, and hair care products, providing strong support for promoting the quality upgrade and formula innovation of the domestic personal care product industry.
