Generally, we may vary depending on the nature of our skin and the season we are in. Dry skin or autumn and winter seasons are more suitable for moisturizing and moisturizing products, while oily skin or hot summer seasons are more suitable for refreshing and textured types.

According to different market demands, formulators will also produce products with different viscosities. When developing refreshing skin products, low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil has become the preferred oil for formulators.

In fact, as the degree of polymerization increases, the viscosity of dimethyl silicone oil will also increase; When the degree of polymerization reaches a certain standard, polydimethylsiloxane will exhibit an apparent viscosity ranging from 5 to 20 cSt, which is low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil. Low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil generally includes three viscosities: 5, 10, and 20 cSt.

Compared with conventional medium viscosity dimethyl silicone oil (50, 100, 200, 350, 500, 1000 cSt), low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil has a lower viscosity, making the skin feel more refreshing. The refreshing and non sticky skincare and hair care products we use on a daily basis use low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil.

In addition to the advantage of skin sensation, low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil will also be more convenient in the formulation process, due to the compatibility advantage brought by low viscosity. Experiments have confirmed that low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil can be perfectly compatible with commonly used 26 # and 15 # white oils, thus avoiding the emulsification problem caused by conventional medium viscosity dimethyl silicone oil.

Excellent compatibility, lightweight skin feel, and excellent solubility in various common oils make low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil suitable for use in oil-in-water, oil-in-water, and full oil systems. It is truly a universal oil for skin and hair care!
