Silicone surfactant is a large amount of surfactant in the daily chemical industry. It can be used in various cosmetics. It is used as an emulsifier in essence and shampoo. It has the functions of emulsification, foaming, dispersion and solubilization. It can make the shampoo foam rich, fine and stable, and has antistatic effect. Silicone surfactants have no side effects on the human body, can form a protective film of fat layer on the skin surface, prevent skin dryness, are excellent skin lubricants and moisturizers, and are especially suitable for preparing emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers for facial and eye cosmetics . At present, polyether silicone is widely used. Using polyether silicone oil with the characteristics of water solubility, emulsification, surface activity and physiological inertness, it can be formulated into personal protective products to produce colorless, odorless, non-irritating to the human body, and does not affect the normal breathing and breathing of the skin. Sweaty skin care products, it can also reduce the surface tension of cosmetics, which is beneficial to spread on the skin and hair, has moisturizing and retention properties, gives hair luster, antistatic, and has good inhibitory effect on bacteria. It is an excellent cosmetic assistant. Agent, and its role is becoming more and more prominent, it has become a category of products that are developing fast and worthy of attention.

The surface activity of modified polysiloxane in water phase or oil phase depends on the type and quantity of modifying groups. Oil-soluble polysiloxane can improve the diffusion ability of oil and paraffin, and can be directly applied to the formulation of cosmetics and skin care products; modified hydrophilic polysiloxane can be mainly used in the formulation of shampoo and foam solution. In addition to the above silicone surfactants, long-chain alkyl-modified polysiloxanes, polysiloxane sulfonates, polysiloxane thiosulfates, and aminosiloxanes have also been used in cosmetics. The role of polysiloxane surfactants in daily cosmetics is becoming more and more prominent, and it has become a category of products that develop rapidly and deserve attention. Cationic, anionic or nonionic silicone emulsions can be used in the production of cosmetics.
