In the process of continuous upgrading of skincare products, sun protection products and makeup products towards a refreshing texture, oil-absorbing, smooth and silky touch, multi-functional powder raw materials that combine the functions of absorbing oil, having a smooth and powdery feel, and increasing the viscosity of the formula are becoming an important direction for the innovation of personal care product formulas. Our company's product 96061, a silicone elastomer micro powder with the INCI name of polydimethylsiloxane/vinyl polydimethylsiloxane cross-linked polymer (and) silica, as a white loose silicone elastomer microsphere powder, with its excellent smoothness, good compatibility with oil components, and unique light and smooth texture, demonstrates significant application value in the fields of skincare, sun protection and makeup, and provides an efficient powder raw material choice for cosmetic formula design.


I. Core Physical and Chemical Properties of the Product


Product 96061 of silicone elastomer micro powder is a white loose powder with an apparent density of 0.3 to 0.5 grams per cubic centimeter, and the volatile matter does not exceed 3% at 150 degrees Celsius for three hours. This product is a composite powder of silicone elastomer microspheres and silica, presenting as a white loose microsphere powder, with the characteristics of lightness and low packing density. This porous, high specific surface area spherical structure gives it natural advantages in absorbing oil and controlling the skin feel, while also providing excellent smoothness.


II. Core Performance Advantages and Formula Value


Product 96061 of silicone elastomer micro powder demonstrates the following core performance advantages in personal care product formulas:


It can absorb oil. The porous elastic body microsphere structure has excellent oil absorption capacity, which can effectively adsorb the excess oil secreted by the skin surface, maintain a refreshing skin feel, delay the appearance of oiliness on makeup, and is suitable for oily skin and summer formula's oil control needs.


It can thicken in W/O systems or oil-based systems. In oil-in-water systems and pure oil-based systems, this product can effectively increase the viscosity and consistency of the system, improving the product texture and stability.


It has good compatibility with cosmetic oil components. The product has good compatibility with various cosmetic oil components, facilitating their dispersion in different formula systems.


Smoothness and smoothness. The product can give the formula a unique, long-lasting silky smoothness, powderiness and elastic texture. It also has a unique light and smooth texture, which can enhance the skin feel and has a softening and slight decongesting effect.


III. Main Application Areas and Recommended Dosage


Product 96061 of silicone elastomer micro powder can play an important role in the following personal care product application areas:


1. Makeup products. In makeup formula such as foundation liquid, BB cream, primer, makeup primer, loose powder, powder compact, blush and eyeshadow, the product can give a dry and long-lasting non-tangling excellent skin feel, provide softening and slight decongesting effects, and enhance the applicability and refinement of the makeup.


2. Skincare products. In skincare formulas such as oil-control cream, moisturizing lotion, sunscreen and essence, the product can give a refreshing skin feel and silky texture, and absorb excess oil.


3. Sun protection products. The product can improve the smoothness and skin feel experience of the sun protection formula, enhance the comfort of the sun protection product. The recommended dosage is 1% to 20% of the total formula, and the specific dosage can be determined according to the different requirements of the product and performance.


4. Usage Method and Process Suggestions


No heating is required during use. First, use low molecular weight silicone oil (such as 3 centipoise or 5 centipoise dimethyl silicone oil) or cyclic silicone oil or oil to disperse it, and then further disperse it evenly with a mixer. When making a lotion, it can be added to the oil phase and stirred and dispersed. If the product can be dispersed evenly, it can also be added later. It is recommended to conduct small-scale trials in the early stage of product development to determine the optimal addition amount and dispersion process.


5. Packaging Specifications and Storage Conditions


The product silicone elastomer micro powder 96061 is packaged in a twenty-kilogram cardboard barrel. This product is non-hazardous and during storage and transportation, it is necessary to prevent moisture, avoid direct sunlight and rain exposure. The container should be strictly sealed after each use. The validity period is two years under sealed and room temperature conditions.


VI. Quality Assurance and Application Value


During the production process of this product, a strict quality control system has been established. Key indicators such as product appearance, apparent density, and volatile matter are inspected throughout the process to ensure consistency and reliability between batches. As the skincare, sunscreen, and makeup industries continue to develop towards a refreshing sensation, oil absorption ability, and smooth touch, this product, with its structural advantage of the silicone elastomer micro spheres combined with silica, excellent oil absorption ability, and wide applicability in formulations, is becoming an important functional raw material option in the development of foundation liquids, oil-control creams, and sunscreen products, providing strong formulation support for promoting product innovation and skin sensation upgrade in personal care products.
