Silicone, often referred to as "Silicone" in Chinese, is translated by Taiwanese as Silicone spirit or Silicone zeneca. The commonly used silicone oil is also a part of the organic silicon series of products in the general name. Specifically, silicone products include polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), cyclic polydimethylsiloxane (D4,D5,D6), and emulsified silicone oil (commonly used in shampoos), which are often referred to as silicone oil. In addition, silicone wax, silicone elastomers and other silicone products. Although not very scientific, but for convenience and word density reasons (not explained), the following articles will be these organic silicone products unified as silicone oil.






Silicone oil was first developed for military use during world war ii. Silicone oil has been used in the cosmetics industry for decades. Silicone oil was first used in shampoos and deodorants in the 1970s. After decades of development, it is widely used in cosmetics or personal care products, especially in skin care products and cosmetics. Is the widespread use of silicone products (silicone oil is used instead) really safe for humans?


Generally, physical and chemical properties can be deduced from the structure. But here, not specific analysis of the chemical structure of silicone oil, the general consumer did not understand these. Therefore, just a simple concept of the properties of silicone oil: structure is very stable, not easy to occur degradation, under normal conditions and not easy to react with other substances. At the same time, the bonds are flexible, easy to move, and the surface tension is low, so smooth is the most common property. It is also waterproof but breathable. It is an indispensable material in all walks of life.
