Dimethylsilicone oil is widely used, which is often used in the production of cosmetics to improve the performance of cosmetics. Dimethylsilicone oil has low surface tension and viscosity, which can make other components of cosmetics easy to spread into a film on the skin, and no viscosity, the destickability of dimethylsilicone oil, so that it can be combined with petroleum jelly, paraffin, bee-wax, lanolin and so on to get non-sticky products, volatile silicone oil can give cosmetics with fast drying, smooth, anti-fouling luster and other properties. As a cosmetic carrier, it can quickly dissipate and make other cosmetic components into a evenly distributed film, which is very important in eye beauty products and nail polish, in hair care products, dimethylsilicone oil can make hair increase luster, and can play the role of styling and preventing hair sticking together, in shampoo, dimethylsilicone oil can make hair easy to comb, in skin care products, The hydrophobic film formed by silicone oil can prevent other components from being washed away, and can keep the skin in normal breathability. At present, silicone oil has become an important ingredient or auxiliary for many cosmetics.


In recent years, both men and women, more and more investment in cosmetics and skin care products, so many cosmetics and skin care related industry manufacturers also launched a variety of cosmetics, various functions, various textures to meet the needs of different groups of people, different skin types, different ages of consumers. Among them, do you know the application effect of low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil in different formulations?


In general, we apply medium-viscosity dimethylsilicone oil in cream, high-viscosity and ultra-high-viscosity dimethylsilicone oil in hair washing and care, and low-viscosity dimethylsilicone oil in makeup and skin care formulas. And will be different due to the nature of the skin, the different seasons vary, dry skin or autumn and winter season is more suitable for moisturizing products, oily skin or hot summer is more suitable for refreshing texture type.

According to the different market demand, formulators will also make different viscosity products, in the development of clear skin products, low viscosity and ultra-low viscosity dimethylsilicone oil has become the preferred grease for formulators.


In fact, with the increase of the degree of polymerization, the viscosity of dimethylsilicone oil will also increase; When the degree of polymerization reaches a certain standard, polydimethylsiloxane will show an apparent viscosity from 5 to 20cSt, which is low viscosity dimethylsilicone oil, low viscosity dimethylsilicone oil generally includes 5, 10, 20cSt three viscosities.

Compared with conventional medium viscosity dimethicones (50, 100, 200, 350, 500, 1000 cSt), low and ultra-low viscosity dimethicones feel more refreshing because of their lower viscosity. Our daily use of refreshing non-sticky skin care products, hair care products, it is the use of low viscosity dimethyl silicone oil.


In addition to the advantages of skin feel, low viscosity dimethylsilicone 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 low-viscosity dimethylsilicone oil can be perfectly compatible with commonly used 26# and 15# white oil, so as to avoid the emulsification problem caused by conventional medium-viscosity dimethylsilicone oil.


Excellent compatibility, light skin feeling, excellent solubility for a variety of common oils, making low viscosity dimethylsilicone oil can be applied to oil-in-water, oil-in-water, whole oil system, said to be the universal oil for skin care and hair care, but also worthy of the name!
