Silicone elastomers are widely used in cosmetics, and their unique properties improve product quality and user experience.
In base makeup products, such as liquid foundation, powder and primer, silicone elastomers play a significant role. Micron-sized silicone elastomer particles, such as spherical polysiloxane, have an optical diffuse reflection effect. They can cleverly fill pores and fine lines, make the skin surface smooth and flat, and present a visual concealer effect similar to "skin grinding". They are often used in liquid foundations to create matte and matte makeup effects.
Lip glaze (mud) products are also inseparable from silicone elastomers. It can give lip glaze a matte effect, while bringing a soft and glutinous touch, moisturizing and fitting the skin, brightening the complexion, soft and moisturizing after application without drying, fine texture without rubbing mud, and excellent anti-color migration ability, making lip makeup more durable.
In powdered makeup products such as eye shadow and blush, silicone elastomers can improve the fluidity and compressibility of powders, making the products easier to apply evenly, while enhancing adhesion and preventing makeup from coming off. In addition, it can also form a breathable color-fixing film on the skin surface that is waterproof and oil-proof, helping makeup resist external influences and keep the color lasting and bright.
In addition, adding silicone elastomers to mascara can make mascara easier to apply evenly and less likely to smudge, making eyelashes curled for a long time. In short, silicone elastomers play a key role in the field of makeup, bringing consumers better quality makeup products.
