Since the concept of “silicon-free” has been promoted,
Give a lot of opportunities for new brands to play,
Demonizing the silicone;
A lot of new brands along with this tide,
Appeared in front of our eyes.
Although there have been many articles refuting the "silicone damage theory",
However, many friends still have many misunderstandings about silicone.
This article is the name of silicone oil.






What is silicone oil?
Silicone oil is a linear or cyclic polysiloxane. The personal care industry is generally referred to as silicone. Dimethicone, cyclomethicone, which is commonly found in cosmetic ingredients. ) is the silicone oil we often say; according to different performance requirements, there are some modified silicone oils, such as: emulsified silicone oil, amino silicone oil (AminoFunctional Silicone), phenyl silicone oil, cationic silicone oil, silicone emulsifier, polyether modified Silicone oil (PolyetherModified Silicone), silicone/gel (Silicone Resins/Resin Gel) should be among the different needs of cosmetics. The silicone oil used in the shampoo is mainly a emulsified silicone oil of different particle diameters made of polydimethylsiloxane or a water-soluble modified silicone oil.






Where does silicone oil come from?
Silicon is the second richest element of the earth and is widely found in sand and dust. Silicone products are mainly processed from our common sandstone (silica) and purified through several steps of reaction and modified into silicone products with different functions.






What household items are silicone products used in?
Our life is inseparable from silicone. Many products in the food, clothing and housing industry are related to silicone products. If we do not say shampoo, our towels and clothes will be soft and smooth when they are bought. It is because the amino silicone oil has been treated. The condom used in OOXX is also made of silicone oil as a lubricant; the prosthesis for breast enlargement and the silicone pad for the business line; the sealing ring of silicone gel, rice cooker and thermos cup are all silicone rubber; Taieng electric board is silicon film; industrial lubricants, brake oil, insulating oil, defoamer, hydraulic oil are inseparable from organic silicon; paper, textile, energy, lighting, etc. have a lot of organic Traces of silicon.






Why do you need to add silicone oil to shampoo?
The surface of the hair is covered with a number of haircuticles, which are neatly arranged on the surface of the hair; healthy and undamaged scales, the hair will be black and shiny, no rough; once these hairs The scales are damaged, the hair looks like the gloss will drop, and there are dry, rough, split ends, etc. If there are damaged hair scales, it will increase the friction between the hair, and it will be more difficult to comb the hair. This in turn aggravates the damage of the scales. The spreadability of dimethyl silicone oil is very good, it is easy to smooth the scales, reduce the friction between the scales, reduce the damage, and maintain the healthy and shiny hair.
Due to the good spreadability of silicone oil, shampoo and hair care products containing silicone oil are used, and the dry comb feeling after dry hair is unmatched by other oils.






Does the transparent shampoo contain silicone oil?
Many friends think that transparent shampoo = no silicon shampoo, in fact, amino silicone oil and polyether modified silicone oil (PolyetherModified Silicone water-soluble silicone oil) can also be applied in transparent shampoo, transparent shampoo is not equal to no silicon.
Transparent shampoo also needs to add a few conditioning agents. Shampoo without conditioning agent is not difficult to imagine. You can feel it with a little detergent or hand sanitizer. I don't think anyone will use it for the second time.






Silicone oil has nothing to do with liposuction?
"Demonizing" silicone oil is nothing more than blaming the cause of hair loss on silicone oil; hair loss has genetic factors, but also acquired factors, including: lipid-deficient hair loss, mental hair loss, endocrine disorders, nutritional metabolic hair loss, chemical hair loss.
Common hair loss is mainly caused by oily hair loss, and the main argument of "silicone oil damage theory" is that silicone oil will block the pores of the scalp and eventually lead to hair loss; in fact, there is no direct literature or evidence to prove that silicone oil will block the scalp and damage the scalp;
Moreover, the normal scalp secretes 3-5g of sebum every day, but we only have about 10g of shampoo every time we wash our hair. The silicone oil in the shampoo is only about 1%, most of which will be absorbed on the hair scales or washed away. There is very little silicone oil left in the scalp.






The application of silicone in skin care products?
I am curious about those who demonize "silicone oil", they do not know whether they use skin care products? One truth is that silicones are used more widely in skin care products. A shampoo plus silicone oil, less than 1%; a cream emulsion, silicone oil is generally used 5%; BB cream, liquid foundation, etc., silicone oil at least 10%; mousse foundation, basically all silicon. What I want to ask is, do you still use skin care products for those who advocate "pseudoscience"?






Why is “pseudoscience” more likely to spread?
Let's take a look at the hair products industry in other countries. There are no silicon shampoos and transparent shampoos. Like the Japanese hair products market, we advocate separate washing, simple clean shampoos, and the accompanying hair care products are still used. Silicone conditioning agent. I have not seen which brand will advocate the "demonization theory" that silicone oil will cause hair loss. Only the domestic ignorant niche brand will step on the scientific research results of countless scientists and become a self-contained and transcend the world.
Most of the products of the "pseudo-science" genre have been seen in the channel brands that have been developed in recent years. They have suffered from the first-line leading brands such as Procter & Gamble and Unilever for many years, and they have been unable to find a door. It’s hard to see a concept of “silicon-free” rising, excited by the cows, “exposing the uprising, one-hundred-hundredness”, and screaming “silicone oil damage theory”, releasing the grievances for many years, plus the viral spread of friends. "Pseudoscience" was quickly dispersed.
What I want to say is that the market demand is diversified. Everyone is looking for a product that suits them. There is no silicon or silicon, so everyone likes it; but in order to promote the product, people are stepping on their feet and screaming. "Pseudo-science", this is obviously not a normal market behavior. Everyone is more rational, and rumors will not break.
