Personal Care
Betsy Beckwith
Silicone polymers and cyclic siloxanes are used in this sector as solvents and carriers for many products. In the personal care product sector, they are used in:
- Deodorants
- Hair, skin, and sun care products
- Makeup
They provide a glossy, silky, or “smooth” feel as well as other processing benefits, which include transparency, lack of taste or odor, rapid evaporation from skin, and low skin irritability.
