Why silicone excels in beauty and personal care
applications
-
Very little silicone can deliver significant benefits. Adding as
little as 1.1¢ worth of silicone to a typical 300-gram hair-conditioning rinse
doubles dry combing benefits and increases shine by 20%!
- Because silicones spread so easily, they make lotions, body washes,
shampoos, conditioning mousses, styling gels, sunscreens, color cosmetics,
antiperspirants, and other products easier to apply.
- Silicones create uniform, breathable films that improve
protection.
- Silicones provide unique sensory benefits – soft, silky, smooth, and
sensuous.
- When combined with high-demand ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants,
minerals, and lipids, silicones enable personal care formulators to go
beyond the ordinary and develop more innovative products for today’s
consumers.

Silicones enable regional personal care manufacturers to compete with
global brands on quality and performance, not simply on price.
