Are you familiar with the application of medium-viscosity dimethicone in creams, the application of high-viscosity and ultra-high-viscosity dimethicone in shampoo and hair care, and the application of low-viscosity dimethicone in make-up and skin care formulations?

Generally, we choose different cosmetics according to the nature of the skin and the season. Dry skin or autumn and winter are more suitable for moisturizing and hydrating products, and oily skin or hot summer is more suitable for refreshing texture type. According to different market demands, formulators will also make products with different viscosity. When developing refreshing skin-feeling products, low-viscosity dimethicone has become the preferred oil for formulators.

In fact, as the degree of polymerization increases, the viscosity of dimethicone will also increase. Low-viscosity dimethicone generally includes three viscosities of 5, 10, and 20 cSt. Compared to conventional medium viscosity dimethicone (50, 100, 200, 350, 500, 1000 cSt), low viscosity dimethicone has a lighter skin feel due to its lower viscosity. The refreshing and non-sticky skin care products and hair care products we use on weekdays use low-viscosity dimethicone.

In addition to the skin feel benefits, low-viscosity simethicone is also easier to formulate due to the compatibility advantages brought about by low-viscosity. Experiments have confirmed that low-viscosity dimethicone can be perfectly compatible with commonly used 26# and 15# white oils, thus avoiding the emulsification problem caused by conventional medium-viscosity dimethicone. Excellent compatibility, light skin feel, and excellent solubility for a variety of common oils enable low-viscosity dimethicone to be applied to water-in-oil, oil-in-water, and all-oil systems, which are said to be suitable for skin care and hair care. All-purpose grease, is also worthy of the name!
