In the field of makeup that pursues long-lasting makeup, silicone resin film formation technology is becoming a key breakthrough. This material, which has both the flexibility of organic matter and the stability of inorganic matter, can accurately control the film-forming properties by adjusting the ratio of M (monofunctional group) and Q (tetrafunctional group) in the molecular structure. When the M/Q ratio is close to 1, the resin forms a dense solid film, giving the cosmetics excellent waterproof, oil-resistant and anti-migration properties.
The low surface tension of MQ resin makes it easy to spread on the skin to form a uniform breathable film; the strong hydrophobicity can resist sweat and sebum erosion and maintain the integrity of the makeup. Experiments show that the makeup setting spray containing silicone can last more than 50% longer than traditional products in a high temperature and high humidity environment of 40°C.
Another advantage of this technology is dynamic balance: the helical structure of the silicon-oxygen chain segment can expand and contract with temperature changes, which can withstand high-temperature baking at 200°C and maintain flexibility at low temperatures of -50°C. After adding phenyl MQ resin to a brand of loose powder, users reported that the makeup remained spotless after 12 hours, and there was no acne on the skin after removing makeup, and the breathability was significantly improved.
With breakthroughs in green synthesis technology, such as the industrial mass production of Jiangxi Xinjiayi's patented process, silicone resins are driving the upgrading of makeup products to a more efficient and environmentally friendly direction. In the future, an intelligent film-forming system combined with light-curing technology may be born, opening a new era for long-lasting makeup technology.
