With the improvement of women's consumption ability and the diversification of consumer demand, the size of the lipstick market continues to grow. Major brands have launched new and unique lipstick products, innovating from texture, and color to efficacy to meet consumers' individual needs. At the same time, the rise of local brands, and international brands to form a fierce competition, promoting the further prosperity of the lipstick market. How do silicones improve lipstick performance?
The core point in the research and development process of non-stick lipstick is to add more volatile silicone oil in the formula and adjust the ratio of oil and wax, lipstick coated in the lips after the silicone volatilization, in the film-forming agent under the coverage of the pigment is more adherent to the skin of the lips, in addition to a large number of silicone oils can improve the hydrophobicity of the lipstick, with very good resistance to water after use, so it seems less prone to staining the cup. Because of the volatile silicone oil “dries” quickly, so non-stick lipstick most of the lipstick are designed to matte matte. Of course, there are other formulations, mainly to adjust the proportion of oil types, the idea of adding a hydrophobic film-forming agent, so that the lipstick is not easy to take off the makeup, thus reflecting the effect of the non-stick cup.
There are six aspects to introducing silicone in cosmetics:
- What is silicone gel?
- What are the advantages of silicone gel in color cosmetics?
- What are the applications of silicone gel in color cosmetics?
- What are the characteristics of silicone microsphere powder?
- What about the application of silicone microsphere powder in cosmetics?
- How to make silicone cosmetics perform better?
1. What is silicone gel?
Silicone gel has good film-forming properties, according to the proportion of addition that can increase the ductility of the powder, very easy to push open. Because of its own three-dimensional crosslinked mesh structure, the skin feels comfortable and smooth, non-sticky, breathable, and not stuffy acne.
2. What are the advantages of silicone gel in color cosmetics?
(1) Breathable and non-comedogenic: Silicone gel has breathable and non-comedogenic properties to avoid worsening acne, which enables it to work synergistically with organic and natural ingredients to help makeup products maintain comfort and safety on sensitive skin and clogged pores.
(2) Waterproof and long-lasting: Silicone gel acts as a film-forming agent, providing waterproof, non-flaking, and long-lasting properties while maintaining a soft, smooth,h and moisturized feel on the skin surface.
(3) Improved skin feel: Silicone gels provide a unique “velvety” skin feel, eliminating wrinkles and providing a powdery, velvety skin feel.
(4) Improvement of SPF index: Silicone gels can improve the sun protection performance of cosmetics and enhance their skincare effect.
(5) Environmentally friendly and sustainable: Many silicone products are made from sustainably sourced raw materials, such as sugarcane, which meets environmental requirements, like natural origin.
3. What are the applications of silicone gel in color cosmetics?
(1) Lipsticks, eyeliners, and foundations: These products can take advantage of the waterproof and long-lasting properties of silicone gels to ensure long-lasting and comfortable makeup effects.
(2) Skin care products: Silicone gels can provide a unique dry, silky skin feel, making them a highly promising raw material for daily chemicals.

4. What are the characteristics of silicone microsphere powder?
Silicone microsphere powder is a particle-level powder material, usually prepared from silicone polymers. It has the following characteristics:
(1) Special structure:
The structure of organosilicon microsphere powder is a stable, smooth surface, with good dispersion and fluidity;
(2) Reasonable molecular structure:
The molecular structure of organosilicon microsphere powder is relatively simple, and does not contain metal ions and other harmful substances;
(3) Wide range of applications:
Silicone microsphere powder has good film-forming and water replenishment, commonly used in cosmetics, moisturizing creams, sunscreen, and so on.
XJY-801 SPHERICAL SILICONE RESIN POWDER
XJY-801 silicone resin powder series are kindsfinsoluble non-melting trifunctional components of defensive an excelent touch to skin and can result in excellent cross-linked curing resin. All of these resins have performance benefits by different grades of particle sizes when incorporated into a variety of facial lotion production of pigment agglomeration in pressed powders, and good cosmetic formulations. These benefits include respreadability on skin- and sun care, lessen These benefits include respreadability on skin- care and sun care, lessen appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through the use of foundations and decoration cosmetics.
5. What about the application of silicone microsphere powder in cosmetics?
(1) Improve skin touch
Silicon microsphere powder has good surface lubricity, which can improve the experience of using cosmetics and make the skin feel smoother and more delicate. Adding an appropriate amount of organosilicon microsphere powder in cosmetics such as foundation, isolation cream, face cream, etc. can prolong the service life of cosmetics, and has the characteristics of non-sticky and non-greasy.
(2) Regulate oil secretion
Some people's facial oil secretion is exuberant, the skin is easy to get oily after using cosmetics, affecting the beauty of makeup. Silicone microsphere powder has a certain degree of oil absorption and the ability to regulate oil secretion can effectively solve this problem.
(3) Improve the softness
The physical properties of organosilicon microsphere powder make it have good suppleness, which can make the small molecules in cosmetics evenly coated on the surface of the skin so that the skin gets better care. At the same time, it can also absorb excess water, improve the moisturizing effect of cosmetics, and make the skin softer and more delicate.
Silicone microsphere powder can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays and become an important sunscreen agent in cosmetics, playing the role of anti-UV. It can be evenly dispersed in cosmetics without affecting the beauty of the makeup, but also effectively protects the skin from ultraviolet rays.
6. How to make silicone cosmetics perform better?
Silicone has significant advantages in cosmetics and skincare ingredients. It can provide cosmetics with a silky texture that is easy to apply; enhance the glossiness of the product to improve aesthetics; improve stability and make the product more durable; increase the moisturizing effect, so that the skin is more moisturized; and also improve the ability of sunscreen to protect the skin from UV rays. In addition, silicone( silicone emulsifiers and so on) has good skin compatibility and compatibility, which can significantly enhance the experience and quality of cosmetics, and also can be used in hair serums and hair conditioners, hair masks. Silicone essential elements also have some medical applications, like scar reduction, and wound healing. To avoid silicones, how to improve the competitiveness of your products?
