Abstract
The structural diversity of organosilicon compounds used in decorative and care cosmetic products is studied. The unique physicochemical properties of silicones allowing their application as emollients, moisturizers, emulsifiers, film formers, viscosity regulators, and antistatic and binding agents are described. Mechanisms of action of various structure silicones, due to which organosilicon compounds are advantageously used to impart certain properties to cosmetic products, are demonstrated. A comparative analysis of the efficiency of silicones versus natural compounds serving similar functions in cosmetic products is performed. The issue of silicone safety for human health is considered.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Science, Series B is a journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. Series B experimental and theoretical papers and reviews dealing with the synthesis, kinetics, catalysis, and chemical transformations of macromolecules, supramolecular structures, and polymer matrix-based composites (6 issues a year). All journal series present original papers and reviews covering all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science. Contributions should be of marked novelty and interest for a broad readership. Articles may be written in English or Russian regardless of country and nationality of authors. All manuscripts are peer reviewed
