The breakthrough in low-odor silicone oil technology is reshaping the experience of personal care products

1. The upgrading of consumer demand has made low odor the core demand
The global personal care products market is showing a development trend driven by both "sensory experience" and "ingredient safety". According to relevant data, 67% of consumers list "product scent comfort" as an important indicator when choosing shampoo and skin care products. The chemical odor problem caused by residual cyclic siloxanes in traditional silicone oil has become a technical bottleneck restricting the high-end development of personal care products. Against this backdrop, low-odor silicone oil, with its safe and comfortable characteristics, has become the focus of industry research and development as well as application.

2. Multi-dimensional technological innovation overcomes the challenges of odor and performance
Low-odor silicone oil has achieved dual breakthroughs in odor source elimination and functional enhancement through molecular structure reconstruction and purification process innovation. In terms of molecular design, strategies such as branched chain design, ultra-high molecular weight increase and polar end group modification are adopted to reduce the generation of odor substances from the source. In the process stage, through innovative technologies such as enzyme-catalyzed directional polymerization and supercritical CO₂ extraction, the content of volatile cyclosiloxane has been reduced from 500-800 PPM in traditional products to below 50ppm, meeting the relevant standards of the European Union. At the same time, the odor threshold has been significantly raised.

3. Comprehensive performance improvement optimizes user experience
Compared with traditional silicone oil, low-odor silicone oil has achieved a comprehensive upgrade in core performance indicators. Data shows that the volatile matter content of low-odor silicone oil can be reduced to below 30ppm, the surface tension can be decreased by 15%, and the spreading speed can be increased by 44%. In a blind test of 50 people, the sensory score reached 4.7 points (out of 5). In practical applications, shampoos using low-odor silicone oil can reduce the residual amount after rinsing by 42% and lower the combing power of hair by 55%. The skin care lotion has achieved a 50% increase in extensibility and a 60% increase in the transdermal rate of active ingredients, providing users with a better tactile and visual experience.

4. It has both green benefits and broad market application prospects
Low-odor silicone oil not only enhances the product experience but also has significant green and environmental protection advantages. In the production process, the supercritical extraction technology can save 35% of steam consumption, reduce the COD load of wastewater from 8000mg/l to 1200mg/l, and extend the service life of equipment by 2.3 times. In terms of market value, the premium space for personal care products using low-odor silicone oil can reach 25% to 60%, while the repurchase rate has significantly increased and the customer complaint rate has dropped sharply. At present, low-odor silicone oil has been included in the 2024 updated list of the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary. In the future, with the exploration and advancement of cutting-edge technologies such as biocatalytic synthesis and intelligent response, its application scenarios will be further expanded.
