In the field of personal care, ethyl silicone oil is reshaping the industry landscape as a new favorite of the "ingredient party". Its unique hydrophobic oleophilic dual structure makes it a "universal blending agent" in the hands of formulators. In sunscreen, ethyl silicone oil can form a three-dimensional mesh protective film, evenly dispersing the sunscreen on the skin surface, increasing the SPF value by 30% while maintaining a refreshing skin feel. A certain international brand has reduced the irritation of chemical sunscreens by 65% through nanoscale ethyl silicone oil encapsulation technology, and the product has passed the EU ECOCERT natural certification.



In the field of hair care products, ethyl silicone oil exhibits a dual effect of "repair protection". Its molecular chains can penetrate into the gaps between hair scales, forming an elastic protective film. Experimental data shows that using a hair conditioner containing 2% ethyl silicone oil can increase hair fracture strength by 22% and improve combing performance by 40%. In the category of cosmetics, ethyl silicone oil, as a rheology regulator, can accurately control the viscosity of liquid foundation to achieve a silky touch of "wiping off and melting". A high-end foundation make-up can extend the product's makeup holding time to 12 hours by adding modified ethyl silicone oil without powder sticking.


It is worth noting that the safety of ethyl silicone oil has been validated through multiple clinical trials. The evaluation of the CIR expert group in the United States shows that its safe concentration limit in cosmetics can reach 10%, and it will not cause skin sensitization or systemic toxicity. With the rise of the trend of "pure beauty", the development of bio based ethyl silicone oil has become a new hotspot. A research institution prepared ethyl silicone oil through corn straw fermentation process, which has a carbon footprint reduced by 58% compared to traditional processes, is expected to achieve industrial production by 2026.
