Phenyl silicone oil: the "invisible black technology" in the cosmetics industry
When traditional silicone oil is criticized for its "false smoothness", phenyl silicone oil has become the "new favorite ingredient" of high-end beauty products due to its unique molecular structure. Its refractive index reaches 1.52, which can form a 0.1 μ m optical film on the surface of the skin. Through the principle of diffuse reflection, it softens the light and gives the skin a natural luster. Carfil launched by Baoside ® PT1 (phenyl content 25%) has excellent solubility in ethanol and can significantly improve the spreading of sunscreen, increasing the SPF value enhancement effect to 35%.


Even more revolutionary is its ability to carry active ingredients: the benzene ring structure of phenyl silicone oil can form π - π conjugation with active molecules such as vitamin C and peptides, increasing the transdermal absorption rate from 45% of traditional silicone oil to 78%. In Estee Lauder Platinum face cream, phenyl silicone oil is used as a carrier to deliver anti-aging ingredients to the dermis, together with the breathable protective film formed by it, to achieve a 16 hour makeup free powder. From repairing hair scales with hair conditioners to creating "mother's skin" with makeup, phenyl silicone oil is restructuring the logic of cosmetic formulas.
