In the process of continuous upgrading of skin care products, sun protection products, and hair care products towards a refreshing texture, long-lasting protection, and stable formulation, multi-functional basic raw materials with thickening, film-forming, and unique skin sensation regulation functions are becoming an important direction for the innovation of personal care product formulas. The product 96004 of our company, a silicone resin elastic gel with INCI name of cyclopentasiloxane (and) polydimethylsiloxane/ethylene polytrimethylsiloxysilicate cross-linked polymer, as a semi-transparent silicone elastic gel, demonstrates significant application value in the fields of skin care, hair care, and sun protection, providing efficient and flexible basic raw material options for cosmetic formula design.


I. Core Physical and Chemical Properties and Technical Specifications


Product 96004 of silicone resin elastic gel is a semi-transparent paste, with non-volatile content ranging from 15% to 25%, and viscosity at 25 degrees Celsius is 150,000 to 500,000 centipoises. This product is a non-emulsified siloxane network copolymer, mixed with non-volatile low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane. This gel system gives the product a unique semi-transparent appearance and excellent skin sensation regulation ability. At the same time, this product has certain sebum absorption capacity, which can help maintain a清爽 skin surface.


II. Core Performance Advantages and Formula Value


Product 96004 of silicone resin elastic gel in personal care product formulas demonstrates the following core performance advantages：


Comfortable glide， dry and non-greasy skin sensation. This product can give the formula a unique silky touch and dryness experience， effectively reducing the stickiness of the formula， improving the usage comfort and acceptance of the product， especially suitable for use in sun protection， oil control， and summer products.


As a thickening agent in water/oil， water/silicone oil systems. Whether it is an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion system， or a water/silicone oil system， this product can effectively increase the viscosity of the system， improve the texture and stability of the product， and reduce stratification and sedimentation problems.


Enhance water resistance and migration resistance. In terms of product film formation， this product can form a stable breathable protective film on the skin surface， effectively enhancing the water resistance and migration resistance of the formula， helping active ingredients such as sunscreen agents to be evenly distributed on the skin surface and resisting water washing.


III. Main Application Areas and Recommended Dosages


Product 96004 of silicone resin elastic gel can play an important role in the following personal care product application areas：


1. Skin care products. In moisturizing creams， control oil lotions， and essence formulas， the product can give a refreshing skin sensation and silky touch， and the recommended dosage is 1% to 20% of the total formula.


2. Sun protection products. In sunscreen creams， sunscreen lotions， and sunscreen sprays， the product can improve the smoothness and skin sensation experience of the sunscreen formula， enhancing the water resistance and usage comfort of the sunscreen product.


3. Hair care products. In hair conditioners， hair masks， and hair essence， the product can improve the combability and luster of hair， and the recommended dosage is also 1% to 20% of the total formula.


4. Usage Methods and Process Suggestions


This product can be directly dispersed in the oil phase (silicone oil or organic oil) of the formula， stirred evenly without subsequent shear processing. In the formula of emulsion products， directly add to the oil phase or silicone oil raw materials， it is recommended to homogenize the oil phase separately before emulsification， or slowly pour the dispersed oil phase into this product and stir appropriately. If the viscosity of the entire dispersed phase can ensure the dispersion of this product， it can be added later. For convenience of use， it can be mixed with dimethyl silicone oil， cyclic silicone oil， phenyl silicone oil， fatty acid esters， hydrocarbons， etc. to reduce viscosity. Heating operations should be carried out in a sealed container. After being left for a long time, this product will become thick and even form lumps. This is a normal phenomenon. Just a slight stirring will restore it to its original state.


V. Quality Assurance and Application Value


During the production process, the product silicone resin elastomer gel 96004 has established a strict quality control system. Key indicators such as product appearance, non-volatile content, and viscosity are inspected throughout the process to ensure consistency and reliability between batches. As the skincare, sunscreen, and hair care industries continue to develop towards a more refreshing sensation, long-lasting protection, and stable formulations, this product, with its translucent elastomer gel form, excellent thickening and coating performance, and comfortable skin feel characteristics, is becoming an important basic raw material option for the development of sunscreen products, moisturizing creams, and hair care products. It provides powerful formulation support for promoting product innovation and skin sensation upgrade in personal care products.
