Silicone elastomer powders, especially crosslinked polymers (and) silicas of polydimethylsiloxane/vinyl polydimethylsiloxane, have been widely used in the cosmetics industry in recent years. With its unique physical and chemical properties, this micro powder brings many advantages to cosmetics.
The micro powder has a white loose powder appearance, which has a good slippery feeling and dispersion. Its particle size is uniform and easy to disperse in the oil phase, which can absorb polar and non-polar oils, reduce the viscosity of the formula, and make the product more refreshing and non-stick. In addition, it enhances the durability of other active ingredients on the skin, providing a lasting soft, smooth and powdery feel to cosmetics.
In terms of skin care, silicone elastomer powder can absorb skin oils, regulate sebum secretion, and keep the skin refreshed. At the same time, it can fill in fine lines, making the skin look smoother and more delicate. In makeup, this powder can be used as a formula ingredient for thickening agents and soft-focusing effects, helping to cover wrinkles and pores and making the makeup more transparent and natural.
In addition, silicone elastomer powder also has excellent waterproof properties and can maintain the durability of cosmetics on the skin. Its film-forming properties also enable it to form a protective film to prevent external contaminants from invading the skin.
In general, silicone elastomer powder plays an important role in the cosmetics industry with its unique properties. With the advancement of technology and the continuous changes in consumer demand, I believe that this micro powder will be used more and more widely in cosmetics.
