Questions about the amount of dimethicone and its emulsion used in processing aids
1, processing aids dimethicone and its emulsion usage is to polydimethylsiloxane or polydimethylsiloxane emulsion?


In GB2760 Table C2 in the processing aids polydimethylsiloxane and its emulsions in the production of soybean products in the use of 0.3g / kg, per kg of soybean use, the standard does not specify the amount of use of polydimethylsiloxane or polydimethylsiloxane emulsions. On this issue, consulted the National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment Standards Office of the National Standard for Food Safety Additives Use Standards project experts, and received a reply as:
It should be counted as polydimethylsiloxane, the active ingredient therein.
2, to the polydimethylsiloxane and its emulsions of suppliers and buyers of recommendations
Dimethicone and its emulsions are commonly known as emulsified silicone oil, in view of the “National Standard for Food Safety Food Additives Dimethicone and its emulsions” in the active ingredient dimethicone content indicators have not been clarified, in order to facilitate the operability of enterprises in the production process, it is recommended that the dimethicone and its emulsions (emulsified silicone oil) suppliers to make clear the content of dimethicone in the packaging; soybean enterprises in the procurement of soybean products in the purchase of dimethicone content. In order to facilitate the operability of enterprises in the production process, it is recommended that suppliers of dimethicone and its emulsion (emulsified silicone oil) specify the content of dimethicone on the package; soybean enterprises in the procurement of dimethicone and its emulsion (emulsified silicone oil) as an antifoaming agent, should check whether there is an executive standard on the package and the content of the label, and if there is no labeling of the content of the active ingredient polydimethylsiloxane, the report of the relevant test should be requested.

Functions of cyclodimethylsiloxane
Cyclodimethylsiloxane has a variety of uses, such as conditioning agents, solvents, moisturizers, carriers and viscosity control agents. Like other silicone oils, the ingredient has a unique fluidity that makes it easy to push off. When applied to the skin and hair, it imparts a silky touch to the skin and hair and also forms a waterproof protective film on the skin surface. It fills in fine lines/wrinkles and gives the face a temporary firm and full appearance.


Because its molecules are too large to fully penetrate the skin and have no real moisturizing properties, it is often used as a carrier for other ingredients in products. Its greatest use is to quickly deliver nutrients to the skin and hair, and it can easily evaporate into the air. It also acts as a base solvent for flavors and fragrance oils and as an antistatic agent. It is most commonly used in hair conditioners because it gives hair a silky feel and reduces greasy residual ingredients. We can find it in many cosmetic products such as facial moisturizers/creams, foundations, shampoos/conditioners, body sprays, sunscreens, anti-aging serums, antiperspirants/deodorants, concealers, hair dyes and eye creams.
