1. Solubility and compatibility
The solubility of polyether-modified silicone oil gives it a significant advantage in cosmetic formulations. Not only is it easily soluble in alcohols and water, it can also coexist harmoniously with other cosmetic ingredients. When added at a level of 0.15% to 5%, it can effectively reduce the surface tension of cosmetic preparations and promote the uniform spreading of products on the skin or hair.
2. Application areas
Polyether modified silicone oil is used in shampoo, conditioner, mousse, skin care products, shaving products, antiperspirants, perfume, soap and makeup cosmetics. In hair preparations, its addition can make hair more shiny, easy to comb, smooth, anti-static, and provide a good touch.
3. The role of emulsifier
Polyether-modified silicone oils with a smaller HLB value can be used as emulsifiers for silicone oil systems. In skin cream preparations, polyether-modified silicone oils can emulsify low-viscosity methyl silicone oils with water to form a stable dispersion system. This preparation is mild and non-irritating to the skin.
4. Application in shampoo
In shampoo, the application of polyether modified silicone oil not only maintains the foam and viscosity of the product, but also has a good adsorption effect on the hair. It gives the hair a fluffy, soft and smooth texture, and also has anti-static and easy-to-comb characteristics.
5. Innovation in personal care products
The application of polyether modified silicone oil in personal care products can produce colorless, odorless, non-irritating skin care products. It reduces the surface tension of cosmetics, helps the product spread on the skin and hair, gives hair gloss and antistatic properties, and has good antibacterial properties.
6. Advantages of hair products
In hair conditioners and styling agents, polyether-modified silicone oil not only provides a styling effect, but also is easy to form a film, making the hair shiny and smooth. In hair detergents, its application keeps the hair soft and shiny. Compared with shampoo without silicone oil, shampoo containing 2% quaternary ammonium polyether silicone oil improves the wet combing and dry combing effects by 28% and 21.2% respectively.
