OH silicone polymers / Polydimethylsiloxanol
OH polymers in cosmetics are silicones that contain a hydroxyl (OH) group at the end of their molecular structure. This group makes them more reactive, which can help form stable films and improve the adhesion and water resistance of cosmetic products. OH polymers are often used in skin and hair care products to provide a silky, smooth feel and to retain moisture.
Viscosity
Viscosity plays a crucial role in the performance and use of OH polymers in cosmetic products.
Low Viscosity: Provides a lighter and easier to apply formula, ideal for serums and hair conditioners.
High Viscosity: Provides a thicker, creamier texture, perfect for creams and lotions that provide long-lasting hydration and a protective barrier.
The choice depends on the desired texture and function of the product
