Many people will notice a unique silky feeling when applying face cream and pushing away liquid foundation. It is not like the thick and sticky ordinary grease, nor the short-term freshness of water-based ingredients, but like a thin and light breathable film, gently covering the skin surface, making each application become a smooth enjoyment. Behind this delicate experience, there is often a special type of organic silicone material - vinyl silicone oil. As the "invisible hero" in cosmetic formulas, its molecular chain carries active vinyl groups. After high-purity purification and thorough removal of low boiling point and harmful impurities, it fully complies with the safety regulations of cosmetic raw materials and can play multiple roles in the formula system of skincare and cosmetics.
In daily skincare scenarios, low viscosity vinyl silicone oil is an excellent choice for optimizing skin feel. When it is applied on the skin, it can greatly reduce the friction of the skin surface, make the pushing process of face cream and lotion become free of resistance, and the thick cream will become light, leaving no sticky and stuffy feeling caused by ordinary oil. It can also form a breathable hydrophobic protective film on the surface of the skin, which will not hinder the normal breathing of the skin, but also slow down the natural evaporation of epidermal moisture, assisting in enhancing the long-term moisturizing effect of the product. Even in dry autumn and winter seasons, it can keep the skin soft and delicate for a long time.
Many sunscreen products that have added such ingredients can help the sunscreen active ingredients adhere more evenly to the skin surface, reducing the blind spots caused by uneven application and alleviating the problem of dryness caused by high magnification sunscreen agents. In the makeup formula, the advantages of vinyl silicone oil are further amplified. After the appropriate vinyl silicone oil is added to liquid foundation and concealer, the dispersion uniformity of the powder will be greatly improved, and the problems of oil-water separation, precipitation and stratification will no longer occur easily, and the shelf life of the product can be effectively extended. After applying it to the face, it can help the powder adhere more closely to the skin texture, giving the base makeup a natural soft and focused texture. Even after holding the makeup for several hours, it is not easy to have mottled and peeling off. Even lip products such as lipstick and lip gloss can work, allowing the cream to smoothly extend on the lips, reducing the embarrassment of wrinkles and clumping, and making the color of lip makeup more uniform and long-lasting.
In addition to being directly used as a formula additive, vinyl silicone oil is also the core material for preparing beauty tools. After curing reaction, it can form a soft and elastic silicone rubber elastomer. The powder puff and beauty egg made from it have a delicate and skin friendly touch, with just the right amount of powder absorption and release ability. It can evenly pat the powder into the skin texture, making the makeup process easy and efficient.
