Recently, silicone materials have set off a wave of application innovation in the beauty and skincare field with their excellent properties, becoming the focus of the cosmetic raw material industry. As a class of polymer materials with both stability and compatibility, silicones exist in forms such as silicone oil and silicone rubber, bringing breakthrough experiences to beauty products. Compared with traditional raw materials, silicones have three core advantages: lightweight and breathable, water and sweat resistant, and gentle on skin. Skin care products added with silicones can form a breathable protective film, locking in skin moisture without clogging pores; makeup products have significantly extended wear time due to the addition of silicones, and are easier to remove makeup. In terms of safety, silicone raw materials have passed strict biocompatibility tests, with extremely low sensitization rates, suitable for various skin types such as sensitive skin, which meets consumers' pursuit of "green beauty" nowadays. Industry data shows that the global market size of beauty-grade silicones increased by 12% year-on-year in 2024. As a core producing country, China accounts for over 40% of the export volume. Many domestic chemical enterprises are accelerating technological iteration, launching customized silicone raw material solutions covering all categories such as skincare, makeup, and hair care. Experts point out that the innovative application of silicone materials has broken the balance problem between "efficacy" and "gentleness" in the beauty industry. With consumption upgrading and technological progress, silicone new materials with both environmental protection properties and excellent performance will continue to drive the beauty industry towards high-quality and sustainable development.
