In the ongoing process of upgrading the personal care products industry towards lighter texture, refreshing experience, and stable formulations, base oil phase raw materials that possess low viscosity fluidity, excellent spreading properties, and active substance carrier functions are becoming crucial elements in the development of skincare, makeup, and hair care products. The company's launched product, low viscosity silicone oil, with the chemical name of low molecular weight dimethylsiloxane, is a transparent, odorless, non-greasy, and non-irritating low viscosity silicone fluid. With its excellent breathability, high compatibility, volatility, and unique function as a temporary carrier for active substances, it demonstrates broad market value in numerous personal care applications such as skincare products, makeup products, hair care products, and antiperspirants, providing high-quality base oil phase options for the personal care industry.


I. Core Physical and Chemical Properties of the Product


The product's low viscosity silicone oil is a colorless, transparent, and thin liquid with a viscosity range of 0.65 to 20 centipoises, a relative density of 0.90 to 0.95, a refractive index of 1.3960, and an open cup flash point of 150 degrees Celsius. This product belongs to low molecular weight dimethylsiloxane, with short molecular chains and low molecular weights, possessing both the soft and smooth characteristics of silicone oil and the excellent fluidity brought by low viscosity. Unlike high viscosity silicone oil, it provides a unique light, breathable, and non-greasy skin sensation experience. Its volatility allows it to gradually evaporate during application, leaving a soft, velvet-like skin sensation without leaving greasy residues.


II. Core Performance Advantages


The product's low viscosity silicone oil exhibits the following core performance advantages in personal care product formulations:


Lightness and Non-Greasiness with Breathability. The product has low viscosity and good breathability, giving the product a light and non-greasy skin sensation, allowing the skin to breathe freely, avoiding the stickiness and discomfort caused by traditional thick oil phases, and being particularly suitable for facial care and summer product formulations.


Excellent Spreading and Application Properties. The low surface tension and low viscosity give it excellent spreading performance, making the product easy to apply and spread evenly on the skin, reducing friction and enhancing the user experience.


High Compatibility and Volatility. The product has good compatibility with various cosmetic raw materials and can be used as a temporary carrier for active substances, gradually evaporating after application, releasing the active substances on the skin surface without leaving residual oil films, and improving the spreading properties of other components in the formulation.


III. Wide Application Areas and Recommended Dosages


The product's low viscosity silicone oil can play an important role in the following personal care product application areas, including:


1. Skincare Products. The product can be used as a basic oil phase component or a temporary carrier for active substances, used in skincare lotions, creams, essences, and sunscreen products, improving the formulation's spreading and skin sensation experience, reducing the stickiness of the formulation, and recommended addition amount is 1% to 10%.


2. Makeup Products. In foundation liquids, BB creams, primer creams, and makeup primers, the product can reduce surface tension, promote the uniform dispersion of solid pigments, improve makeup adherence and delicacy, and reduce the formulation's stickiness, recommended addition amount is 1% to 30%.


3. Hair Care Products. In shampoo, conditioner, and hair essence hair care products, the product can provide a soft, silk-like conditioning effect, improve combability and glossiness, without increasing hair weight, recommended addition amount is 1% to 10%.


4. Antiperspirants and Deodorants. The product can be used as a temporary carrier for active substances in antiperspirant formulations, providing a refreshing skin sensation.


IV. Usage Suggestions and Compatibility Guidance


The product's low viscosity silicone oil can be used alone or mixed with other oil phases. The specific addition amount should be adjusted according to different application products and formulation systems. It is recommended to conduct a small-scale test to determine the optimal addition amount and compatibility scheme.


V. Packaging Specifications and Storage Conditions


The product with low viscosity silicone oil is packaged in 200-liter iron drums. It should be stored in a sealed manner in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature environments, staying away from fire sources and strong oxidants. It should be transported as a non-hazardous item.


VI. Quality Assurance and Industry Application Value


During the production process, a strict quality control system has been established for the product. Key indicators such as appearance, viscosity, relative density, refractive index, and flash point are tested throughout the process to ensure consistency and reliability between batches. As the personal care product industry continues to upgrade towards a lighter texture, refreshing experience, and efficacy-oriented direction, the demand for basic oil-phase raw materials with low viscosity, excellent spreading properties, and active substance carrier functions is steadily increasing. The product with low viscosity silicone oil, with its unique light and non-greasy skin feel, good spreading properties, and wide applicability in formulations, is becoming an important basic raw material option in the development of skincare, makeup, and hair care products, providing strong raw material support for promoting the domestic personal care product industry towards higher quality and refinement.
