Organosilicon compounds have been known since the 1860s, but it was not until Dr. Eugene RoChow innovated this important class of compounds in the 1940s that they were commercialized. After the 1950s, after the American Dow Corning Company launched the first silicon-containing product, organosiloxanes began to occupy an important position in daily cosmetics. Today, skin care, hair care, and shampoo products containing organosiloxanes are Cosmetics products have gained recognition, and more and more silicone compounds are being used more widely in the formulation of personal care products.

Organic silicone compounds used in skin care and makeup products mainly include volatile silicone oil (DC345), medium and low viscosity silicone oil, special silicone oil (cosmetic grade silicone oil, high refractive index silicone oil, alcohol ether silicone oil, silicone acrylate , aerosol particles), silicone emulsifier, silicone silicone oil mixture, silicone volatile silicone oil mixture, silicone dimethyl silicone oil mixture, alkyl modified silicone wax, silicone emulsion, silicone elastomer, silicone oil and vegetable oil mixture.

The organic silicon compounds added to shampoos of hair cleaning products include high-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil, amino silicone oil, amino silicone emulsion, dimethyl silicone oil emulsion, and silicone elastomer emulsion. Such substances are added Into the formula, it effectively improves the wet and dry combability of hair during the cleaning process, increases smoothness, flexibility, color protection, light benignity, repairability, antistatic and thermal protection, making hair soft and soft. Smooth and tangle-free.

Silicone oil added to hair care products rinse-off conditioner, leave-in conditioner and styling products, including volatile silicone oil, medium viscosity silicone oil, high viscosity silicone oil mixture, amino silicone oil, special silicone oil, silicone gel Volatile silicone oil mixture, silicone dimethyl silicone oil mixture, amino silicone emulsion, dimethyl silicone emulsion, silicone elastomer emulsion, among which silicone polyether, silicone emulsifier, and alkyl modified silicone wax are used in leave-on care products. It has been widely used in hair conditioners and styling products.

Potential applications of silicone in personal care products are to prevent ultraviolet rays, protect hair structure and color, provide cell protection and anti-aging, protect hair from dryness, brittleness and hair loss caused by hair dyeing and perming, and protect hair from pollution, Damage to hair caused by sunlight, weather, exercise, etc. is the main potential application.

Challenges encountered in the application of silicone in hair care products, silicone may cause the hair surface to be sealed, making it impossible for the colorant to penetrate into the hair fiber; it may affect the uniformity of coloring; it may cause the hair to be washed out prematurely; it may Affects formula stability; may cause silicone oil deposition in hair, etc.

Basic research on new varieties of organosiloxanes will still focus on developing and discovering new structures of organosiloxanes for use in personal care formulations, and applying components from skin care products to hair care products. Trying different substitutions on existing technologies to obtain new organosilicon compounds has been known as early as the 1860s, and it was not until Dr. Eugene RoChow innovated this important class of compounds in the 1940s that be commercialized.

Different substitutions are tried on existing technologies to obtain new organosiloxanes. In terms of performance, organosiloxanes increase the strength of hair, protect hair from damage, and assist in long-lasting color maintenance in hair care products. This is the direction in which silicones will continue to be researched and developed in the future.
