Silicones possess unique physical and chemical properties, such as excellent biocompatibility, low toxicity, lubricity, heat resistance, and antioxidant properties, which have led to their widespread application in personal care products. These properties make them valuable in enhancing the functionality of personal care products.
Silicones play an essential role in personal care by enhancing skin, hair, and cosmetic performance. In skincare, they lock in moisture, improve texture, and support anti-aging benefits. In haircare, they reduce frizz, add shine, and protect against heat damage. In cosmetics, silicones improve spreadability, provide oil control, and extend wear. They also enhance sunscreen with light, non-greasy protection and water resistance, while supporting other applications such as depilatory creams and oral care.
