organosilicon elastomers in skin care products, specifically in lotions, creams, and essences:

1. Lotions, Creams & Essences

Skin Feel Regulation

Organosilicon elastomers (such as polydimethylsiloxane cross-linked polymers) can form a thin, breathable "elastic film" in formulations, imparting a silky, non-sticky texture that improves the heavy feel of traditional oils. For example, adding them to creams makes application smoother, and after absorption, they leave a soft-focus matte effect on the skin.

Moisturization & Barrier Enhancement

Their film-forming property reduces transepidermal water loss while not clogging pores, making them suitable for moisturizing products for sensitive or oily skin. Some modified silicone elastomers can also synergize with moisturizing ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid) to enhance the skin barrier function.

Sun Protection Enhancement

In sunscreen lotions, silicone elastomers improve the dispersibility of sunscreens and form a water-resistant film, reducing the damage of sweat or rain to the sunscreen layer and enhancing the durability of sun protection.
