Volatile silicone fluids are a series of silicone-based materials formulated for personal care and cosmetic formulation use. These materials exhibit evaporation properties at room temperature, drying after application without leaving heavy greasy residue on skin or hair. They are suitable for formulating lightweight products for oily skin types or warm-weather use.
This product line includes multiple grades with different chemical structures, including linear siloxanes, cyclic siloxanes, and alkyl-modified siloxanes. Each grade has specific viscosity, flash point and volatility characteristics to adapt to different formulation requirements. All grades are produced to meet cosmetic raw material quality specifications.
INCI Name | Model No. | Viscosity (25℃, cs) | Flash Point (℃) | Relative Density (25℃) | Product Features and Applications |
Disiloxane | 1-201-0.65 | 0.65 | -3.3 | 0.76 | Excellent cosmetic solvent that can quickly evaporate to make the skin feel cool. |
Trisiloxane | 1-201-1 | 1 | 30 | 0.818 | |
Dimethicone | 1-201-1.5 | 1.5 | 63 | 0.852 | With similar volatility to D5, it offers soft and silky skin feel, and can make the skin feel cool without evaporation. |
1-201-2 | 2 | 80 | 0.873 | ||
Cyclopenta Siloxane | 1-201-C5 | 4 | 77 | 0.956 | Used in various skin care, hair care and cosmetics products, it has excellent moisturizing property, make the skin feel cool without evaporation. |
Cyclohexa Siloxane | 1-201-C6 | 7 | 124 | 0.96 | |
Methyl Trimethicone | 1-300 | 1.5 | 64 | 0.85 | With faster volatility and lower freezing point,it can replace D5, moisturizes the skin while keeping it dry, provides a smooth and non-cumulative finish. |
Caprylyl Methicone | 1-301 | 2.8 | 110 | 0.83 | With wider compatibility,it can replace D5 to improve pigment dispersion.With excellent cleaning effect,it can be used as transparent formula. |
Grades with higher volatility evaporate quickly after application, creating a cooling sensation on the skin. Lower volatility grades evaporate at a slower rate, leaving a silky skin feel. Controlled evaporation supports even drying of formulations, reducing tacky or sticky after-feel.
These silicone materials are compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. The Caprylyl Methicone grade supports pigment dispersion in color cosmetic formulations. They can be incorporated into both emulsion and anhydrous systems, supporting the development of stable, transparent formulations.
These fluids impart a soft, silky skin feel after application, with no heavy greasy residue. They do not leave visible buildup on skin or hair, supporting a clean, matte surface appearance. This property makes them suitable for daily-use leave-on products.
Volatile silicone fluids are used in facial moisturizers, serums and sun protection products. They support even distribution of active ingredients and UV filters, while reducing the heavy texture of traditional formulations. They are commonly selected for products formulated for oily or combination skin types.
In hair care formulations, these fluids are used in serums, hair oils and conditioning sprays. They spread easily across hair strands to smooth the hair cuticle and support detangling. After application, they leave hair with a shiny appearance without weighed-down texture.
Custom manufacturing options are available for commercial users with specific formulation requirements. Production lines support adjustment of viscosity and volatility parameters to align with individual product development needs.
Production is carried out at dedicated manufacturing bases, with consistent quality control across all batches. Bulk supply capabilities support large-scale commercial production schedules, with global logistics support for international delivery.
Standard packaging options include 20KG plastic drums and 160KG plastic drums, designed for industrial and commercial scale production.
For optimal preservation, the product should be stored in its original sealed packaging in a cool environment below 30°C. Under these conditions, the product has a shelf life of 24 months from the production date. This material is classified as non-dangerous goods, and qualifies for transport under ordinary cargo conditions.
When stored below 30°C in original sealed packaging, these silicone fluids remain stable for 24 months from production.
Yes. Custom manufacturing options are available to meet specific viscosity and formulation requirements for commercial production needs.
No. These materials are classified as non-dangerous goods, and can be shipped under standard ordinary cargo transport conditions.
The fast-drying, non-greasy properties of these fluids make them suitable for formulations targeted at oily skin types, and for lightweight cosmetics intended for warm-weather use.
These silicone products are supplied in 20KG and 160KG plastic drums, suitable for industrial and commercial scale production.
