Silicone: Beauty Success Story 3-Cosmetic Silicone Oil Manufacturer

Cross-linked silicones, also known as elastomers, are the newest type of silicone on the market and are commonly used in anti-aging products. They create a “soft focus” blur effect that helps conceal blemishes, lines, and wrinkles by reflecting and scattering light. Silicone elastomers have a unique dry, silky feel on the skin and also absorb excess oil, mattifying skin and balancing skin tone.

In sunscreen products, silicones add water resistance, providing longer protection while avoiding the stickiness associated with many organic sunscreens. Acrylic silicones are particularly suitable for providing these properties. They serve a similar purpose in cosmetics, making mascara waterproof and long-lasting, and giving lipstick, eyeliner, foundation, eyeshadow and blush extra staying power and allowing them to apply more smoothly.
