1. As a volatile carrier
Function: Octamethyl trisiloxane has the characteristics of low viscosity and high volatility, and is often used as a volatile carrier for cosmetics.
Application: In skin care products (such as essences, creams) and makeup (such as foundation, sunscreen), it can help the active ingredients to be evenly distributed and evaporate quickly after application, leaving a light, non-greasy skin feel.
Advantages: Provides a refreshing use experience, especially suitable for oily skin or summer use.

2. Improve product texture
Function: Octamethyl trisiloxane can significantly improve the texture of cosmetics, making it smoother and easier to spread.
Application: In lotions, primers and primers, it can enhance the ductility of the product and make the application more uniform.
Advantages: Improve the user experience and increase the market competitiveness of the product.

3. Enhance gloss and smoothness
Function: Octamethyl trisiloxane can form a smooth film on the skin surface to enhance the gloss.
Application: In hair care products (such as shampoo, conditioner), it can improve the gloss and suppleness of hair.
Advantages: Make hair look healthier and more shiny.

4. As a diluent
Function: Due to its low viscosity and high volatility, octamethyltrisiloxane is often used as a diluent for high-viscosity silicone oils.
Application: In cosmetic formulations, it can reduce the viscosity of other silicone oils (such as polydimethylsiloxane), making the product easier to apply.
Advantages: Optimize formulation performance and reduce costs.

5. Waterproof and durable
Function: Octamethyltrisiloxane can form a waterproof barrier on the surface of the skin.
Application: In sunscreen, waterproof makeup and long-lasting skin care products, it can enhance the waterproofness and durability of the product.
Advantages: Improve the functionality of the product and meet consumers' demand for long-lasting makeup.
