The main reasons why phenyl silicone can be used as a thickener in cosmetics are as follows:

High viscosity characteristics: Phenyl silicone molecules have a special structure, containing phenyl functional groups, which makes it have a high viscosity. When phenyl silicone is added to cosmetics, it can form a three-dimensional network structure and increase the viscosity of cosmetics through the interaction force between molecules, thereby achieving a thickening effect.

Good compatibility: Phenyl silicone has good compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients, and can be dissolved or dispersed with water, oil and other commonly used ingredients. This enables phenyl silicone to be uniformly dispersed in cosmetics, forming a stable colloidal system, and increasing the viscosity and consistency of cosmetics.

Light texture: Despite its high viscosity, phenyl silicones impart a light texture to cosmetics. Phenyl silicone molecules form a thin film on the skin, allowing cosmetics to apply light and smooth without leaving the skin feeling heavy or sticky.

Adjust rheological properties: Phenyl silicone has a certain influence on the rheological properties of cosmetics. It can change the fluidity and viscoelasticity of cosmetics, making the product easier to apply and spread, and quickly forms a stable film layer after application, providing long-lasting texture and protection effect.

To sum up, as a thickener, phenyl silicone has the advantages of high viscosity, good compatibility, light texture and rheological properties in cosmetics. It can increase the viscosity and body of cosmetics, improve the texture and feel of products, make cosmetics easier to apply and apply, and provide long-lasting effects. At the same time, due to the different formulations and properties of each cosmetic, the amount of phenyl silicone used and the specific effect may also vary. Therefore, when using cosmetics, it is advisable to refer to the product instructions and suggested methods of use.
