| Résumé : |
Silicone chemistry is playing an increasingly important role in modern personal care and cosmetic formulations. A unique and multifunctional set of properties combine to ensure silicones stay at the top of the formulator’s toolkit, delivering superior aesthetics and unmatched, cost-effective, sensory benefits. Silicones are available in numerous formats providing the formulator with endless possibilities to introduce luscious softness and shine to hair care products, luxurious texture to skin preparations with excellent spreading, long-lasting and protecting effects. Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element on Earth; it chemically bonds to oxygen, as silica, that is SiO2, the natural basis of sand. Often manufacturers and consumers mistakenly believe that silicones are oil-derived petrochemicals, whereas, they are actually synthetic products prepared from sand or quartz, among the most abundant minerals on earth. Silicone is the term used for materials in which silicon is bonded to oxygen in a linear polymeric matrix. The Si-O (silicon-oxygen) bond and Si-C (silicon-carbon) bond allow freedom of rotation, which enables these molecules to adopt the lowest energy configuration at interfaces. This leads to ultra low surface tension values compared to organic polymers. With these unique properties, silicones make an ideal choice for a multitude of personal care applications. |
