Silicone in cosmetics: an invisible "beauty" ingredient

Hits: 637 img

Silicone Resin is a kind of polymer with silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bond as the main chain structure, which has the characteristics of heat resistance, water resistance and good air permeability. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, silicone resins are widely used in skin care products, makeup and sunscreen products to give cosmetics a better skin feel and long-lasting effect.

Enhances silky skin
Silicone has a light, smooth touch and forms a thin protective film when applied, making the skin feel soft and smooth. For this reason, silicone is added to many foundation, primer, and lipstick to provide a silky, delicate look.

Enhanced water resistance and durability
Silicone has excellent water and sweat resistance and can form a breathable but not easily dissolved film on the surface of the skin. This makes cosmetics containing silicone more durable and not easy to remove. For example, silicone ingredients are commonly found in waterproof mascara, long-lasting foundation and sunscreen to increase the durability of products.

Fill in fine lines for a soft focus effect
Because silicone has a certain filling effect, it can fill the tiny fine lines and pores on the skin surface, creating a smooth optical soft-focus effect, making the skin look more even and smooth. Therefore, many makeup primer and flawless foundation will add silicone to achieve a "soft focus" beauty effect.

Improves skin lightness
Traditional oil ingredients tend to lead to heavy makeup, and the special molecular structure of silicone can enhance the malleability of cosmetics, without increasing the greasy feeling, making the base makeup more light and breathable.
