How to choose the right skin care product? Generally, we will be different according to the nature of the skin and the season. Dry skin or autumn and winter are more suitable for moisturizing and hydrating products, and oily skin or hot summer are more suitable for refreshing texture.

      According to different market needs, formulators also make products with different viscosities. When developing refreshing skin feel products, low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil has become the preferred oil for formulators.
We previously introduced ultra-low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil in WeChat articles. Do you feel the unique charm of this product?

In fact, as the degree of polymerization increases, the viscosity of the dimethyl silicone oil will increase; when the degree of polymerization reaches a certain standard, the polydimethylsiloxane will show an apparent viscosity from 5 to 20 cSt, which is low Viscosity dimethyl silicone oil, low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil generally includes three viscosity of 5, 10, 20 cSt.

Compared with conventional medium-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil (50, 100, 200, 350, 500, 1000 cSt), low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil has a fresher skin because of its lower viscosity. The fresh, non-sticky skin care and hair care products we use every day use low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil.

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