"Silicone-free" has become a "black horse" born in the world of washing and care, and it has almost become a reference for judging whether shampoo is excellent. It has given many new brands the opportunity to make full use of it, and many new brands have come into being. Health, are demonizing silicone oil. Thanks to the demon


Enchanted, many people have misunderstood the existence of silicone oil.


Silicone oil is generally referred to as silicone in the personal care industry. Polydimethylsiloxane, cyclodimethicone, polydimethylsiloxane, etc., which are commonly used in cosmetic ingredient lists, are commonly used. Silicone oil. According to different performance requirements, there are some modifications


Silicone oil, such as: emulsified silicone oil, amino silicone oil, phenyl silicone oil, cationic silicone oil, silicone emulsifier, polyether modified silicone oil (water-soluble silicone oil), silicone resin / gel (Silicone Resins / Resin Gel silicone elastomer), Used in different cosmetics.


In our life, silicone is ubiquitous, and silicone products are encountered in clothing, food, housing and transportation; condoms used in OOXX use silicone oil as a lubricant; female prostheses for breast enhancement, and silicone pads for squeezing business lines. ; Silicon gel, rice cooker, insulation


The sealing rings of the cup are made of silicone rubber; the Taineng electric board for power generation is a silicon film; industrial lubricants, brake oils, insulating oils, defoamers, and hydraulic oils are inseparable from organic silicon; paper, textile, and energy , Lighting and many other industries have many traces of silicone.


Silicone is also a very important substance in the human body. For osteoporosis, silicone can relieve pain and even restore the body's self-repairing function. Silicone is also an essential element of connective tissue. Silicone can also promote hair growth and strengthen teeth and Gums, make nails healthy, etc.






To "demonize" silicone oil is mainly to blame silicone oil for hair loss; hair loss has genetic factors and acquired factors, including: seborrheic hair loss, mental hair loss, endocrine disorders, nutritional metabolic hair loss, chemical hair loss. Common hair loss with seborrhea


Sexual hair loss is the main issue, and the main argument of the "silicone oil injury theory" is that silicone oil can block the pores of the scalp and eventually cause hair loss; in fact, there is no direct literature and evidence that silicone oil can block the scalp and damage the scalp; 3-5g secretion per day


Sebum, but we only have about 10g of shampoo each time, the silicone oil in the shampoo is only about 1%, most of the hair scales will be adsorbed on the surface of the hair or washed away, there is very little silicone oil left in the scalp.


However, organic silicon is still widely used in skin care products, and the amount of use is relatively large. Generally, creams and emulsions are added with silicone oil; BB creams, liquid foundations, etc., have more silicone oil added, and products without silicone oil will have a poor skin feel, and it is estimated that you will not be willing to use it.


The main argument of "Silicon oil injury theory" is that silicone oil can clog the pores of the scalp. The amount of skin care added is far greater than shampoo, and the impact should be greater!
