Silicone oils in cosmetics, as indispensable raw materials in the cosmetics industry, provide excellent lubricity, softness, waterproofness, and gloss to various types of cosmetics due to their unique physicochemical properties. These silicone oils are mainly composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or its derivatives, featuring low surface tension, high chemical stability, and good biocompatibility.
In cosmetics, silicone oils are commonly used in skincare products, makeup products, and personal care items. In skincare products, silicone oils can form a protective film to lock in moisture and enhance the moisturizing and smoothness of the skin. In makeup products, silicone oils serve as matrix components, improving the dispersion and spreadability of powders, making makeup more natural and adherent. Additionally, silicone oils enhance the waterproofness and longevity of products, making mascara, eyeliner, and other products less prone to smudging.
Regarding safety, silicone oils in cosmetics have undergone rigorous toxicological evaluations and skin irritation tests, proving to be safe and harmless to human skin. However, for some people with sensitive skin, excessive use or long-term use of high-concentration silicone oils may cause mild skin irritation or allergic reactions. Therefore, when using cosmetics containing silicone oils, it is recommended to perform a skin test and use them in moderation according to personal skin type and needs.
