June 30, 2025 – A cutting-edge cosmetic ingredient blending green properties and multifunctionality—Dimethicone (and) Vinyl Dimethicone/Dimethicone Ethoxy Glucoside Crosspolymer (INCI/CTFA name)—has recently entered the market. With its exceptional self-emulsifying ability, transparent appearance, and silky texture, this ingredient revolutionizes skincare moisturizing products, particularly water-releasing cream formulations, setting a new benchmark for green technology and efficacy innovation in the beauty industry.

Green Empowerment: Cold-Process Technology Revolutionizes Production Efficiency

As a next-generation emulsifier, the polymer’s core strength lies in its dual breakthroughs in "green sustainability" and "high efficiency". Its glucose-group modified structure ensures excellent biocompatibility, aligning with the demand for clean beauty and green ingredients. Notably, its robust self-emulsifying capability enables room-temperature formulation (cold-process technology), eliminating the need for high-temperature heating. This not only drastically reduces energy consumption but also minimizes degradation risks of active ingredients under heat, providing cosmetic enterprises with strong support to enhance production efficiency and cut costs.

Multifunctional Synergy: Redefining Product Texture and Sensory Experience

In terms of performance, the polymer demonstrates broad-spectrum adaptability to various systems, including water/oil and water/silicone oil formulations. It exhibits superior thickening effects, effectively improving product rheology, preventing stratification or sedimentation, and enhancing formulation stability. Its unique "water-encapsulating performance" stands out: in water-releasing creams, it enables precise moisture release, creating a refreshing "bursting water" sensation upon application while forming a breathable protective film to lock in moisture long-term. This resolves the traditional conflict between greasiness and insufficient moisturization in conventional products.

Additionally, the ingredient’s transparent gel-like appearance preserves product clarity, meeting consumers’ visual expectations for "clean formulations." The silky, smooth texture of elastomer gel, combined with a subtle powdery finish, significantly enhances spreadability and reduces greasiness, delivering a velvety sensory experience.

Broad Application Prospects: Driving Innovation in Skincare Categories

Currently, the polymer has proven effective in multiple formulations, including moisturizers, water-releasing creams, and serums—with exceptional performance in water-releasing creams. Its dual benefits of wrinkle-concealing and long-lasting moisturization cater to both anti-aging and basic skincare needs. Industry experts predict that as consumer demand for "visible efficacy" and "sensory upgrading" grows, this ingredient is poised to become a core component for high-end skincare brands, driving the industry toward greater sustainability, efficiency, and sensory excellence.

About the Ingredient:
Dimethicone (and) Vinyl Dimethicone/Dimethicone Ethoxy Glucoside Crosspolymer is a composite system of Vinyl Dimethicone/Dimethicone Ethoxy Glucoside Crosspolymer and Dimethicone. It integrates the textural advantages of silicone elastomers with the skin-friendly properties of glucose derivatives, offering a "stability-efficacy-texture" trinity solution for cosmetic formulations.
