Makeup products demand high standards in terms of skin feel, staying power, and finish. Silicone precisely meets these needs, making it a key ingredient in makeup formulations. In foundations and cushion compacts, silicone acts as a smoothing and filling agent, filling in fine lines and pores for a more even and natural matte or dewy finish. It also enhances the waterproof and sweat-proof properties of the base makeup, extending its wear time.
In color-based makeup products such as eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick, silicone improves powder dispersion, resulting in more even and blendable color, preventing clumping and fallout. For lip products, silicone enhances lip hydration, reducing dryness and making lip makeup more moisturized and long-lasting. Furthermore, silicone's low irritation and low allergenicity reduce the risk of skin irritation from makeup products, making them safe for even those with sensitive skin, contributing to a refined yet gentle makeup experience.
