With the maturity of the domestic organic silicon fine chemical industry, the production capacity and quality of daily chemical grade ethyl silicone oil have recently seen a double improvement. 99% high-purity and low volatility cosmetic grade ethyl silicone oil has achieved stable mass production, and several leading beauty brands have launched domestic substitution tests for this raw material.


Compared with traditional silicone oil raw materials, cosmetics grade ethyl silicone oil can be used as cosolvent and solid powder dispersant in refreshing creams, lotion, color cosmetics and other products to effectively improve the smoothness and spread of skin care products due to its low surface tension, fresh and non sticky skin feeling, and excellent compatibility with a variety of skin care components. Previously, this type of high-end ethyl silicone oil relied on imports for a long time, with long supply cycles and high costs, which constrained the formula innovation space of domestic beauty brands.


At present, domestic organic silicon production enterprises in Anhui, Hubei and other places have completed the construction of standardized production lines for daily chemical grade ethyl silicone oil. The reference price of mainstream products is stable at around 154 yuan/kg, and the complete supply network formed by 103 suppliers can meet the growing raw material demand of the domestic beauty industry year by year. Industry insiders say that the breakthrough in the localization of ethyl silicone oil will not only help beauty brands reduce supply chain costs, but also provide new raw material choices for domestic skincare products to create differentiated skin feel and enhance core competitiveness.
