SMOICON® Why has MY621 become a new favorite among formulators?
In today's beauty industry, some people dislike that face cream is sticky like a layer of oil, some people complain that liquid foundation card powder gets stuck all over their faces, and some people complain that the absorption of pre makeup milk is slow and it takes half a day to apply makeup - these pain points are essentially related to the choice of raw materials. And a raw material under the silicone elastomer brand: SMOICON® MY621 ， We are addressing these key pain points for consumers and redefining the user experience of beauty products by leveraging the advantages of velvet skin feel, instant absorption, and long-lasting moisturization.
As a representative of Dimethicone and Dimethicone or Vinyl Dimethicone, MY621 is not an ordinary silicon-based raw material. It is based on 85-90% dimethicone, with 10-15% dimethicone vinyl dimethicone crossover, forming a transparent to translucent gel like texture. It not only shows amazing performance in skin feel adjustment, but also achieves breakthroughs in formula adaptation, safety and gentleness, becoming a versatile raw material player from skin care to makeup.
Why are traditional raw materials always unable to meet demand?
Open social media, and there are many roast about the poor skin feeling of beauty products: the moisturizing cream used in winter is too thick, the face is oily and stuffy in the morning, the liquid foundation is applied with card powder, and the corners of the nose and mouth are full of dry lines, the absorption of milk before makeup is too slow, and the subsequent makeup is also rubbed with mud... These problems actually point to the limitations of traditional raw materials.
Traditional moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and ceramides can lock in moisture, but often come with a sticky feeling. Ordinary silicon materials such as
Cyclopentasiloxane can improve smoothness, but lack long-lasting moisturizing power, while powder materials such as titanium dioxide can achieve a matte effect, but are prone to drying and sticking. More importantly, many raw materials are difficult to meet the three major requirements of smoothness, fast absorption, and non stickiness. Either they neglect one or require complex compounding processes to barely balance them - this not only increases production costs, but may also cause problems such as formula instability and layering.
For formulators, to create a product with excellent skin feel, they often need to repeatedly try and make mistakes in the selection of ingredients. The emergence of MY621 has precisely solved this pain point: it comes with a velvet texture that can be quickly absorbed by the skin, while also having long-lasting moisturizing and matte effects. It can meet consumers' multiple expectations for freshness, moisturization, and durability without complex compounding.
Why is it a high-quality skin texture material?
The core advantage of MY621 lies in its unique composition and structural design. From physical and chemical properties to practical applications, every characteristic of it accurately hits the pain points of beauty products.
I. Composition combination
The formula of MY621 may seem simple, but it has actually undergone precise proportional control. Among them, 85-90% of Dimethicone is a classic skin tone regulator that can give the product a smooth application feeling, while forming a breathable film on the skin surface to reduce moisture loss; The 10-15%
Dimethicone vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer is a key upgrade - it uses a three-dimensional mesh structure to keep the raw material smooth while avoiding the false smoothness of ordinary silicone materials. It can also absorb excess oil on the skin surface, achieving a natural matte effect.
The advantage of this combination lies in its balance of firmness and softness: Dimethicone ensures basic smoothness and moisturization, while cross-linked polymers optimize skin feel and oil control. The synergistic effect of the two allows the product to be applied like silk across the skin, and after absorption, it can maintain a refreshing matte finish without any sticky residue.
II. Key performance breakthrough
In addition to skin sensation regulation, MY621 has three major sub items in formula application:
Multi formula compatibility, common cold and hot matching: MY621 can easily integrate moisturizing cream and lotion in the skin care field, liquid foundation and pre makeup emulsion in the color makeup field, even antiperspirant and deodorant. More importantly, it supports both cold and hot blending processes - cold blending does not require heating and can be directly mixed for use, making it suitable for formulas with high levels of sensitive ingredients. Hot blending allows for better integration with other raw materials, making it suitable for products that require high-temperature sterilization. This flexibility allows formulators to avoid additional adjustments for process adaptation, significantly reducing research and development costs.
Safe and gentle, sensitive skin can also be used with confidence: for consumers, the premise of good skin feel is safety. According to toxicological testing data, MY621 has a single oral half lethal dose greater than 5000 mg/kg, and is not irritating to the eyes and skin, with no potential sensitization risk. It does not contain essence, alcohol, heavy metals and other harmful ingredients, and can even be used for special products for sensitive muscles - this is undoubtedly an important competitive advantage at the moment of the rise of the ingredient party.
Stable and easy to store, supply chain management is more worry free: from production to sales, the stability of raw materials directly affects product quality. MY621 can be stored stably for 2 years under dry and sealed conditions at ≤ 30 ℃, with a shelf life of up to 24 months. Transport is not restricted by dangerous goods regulations, and can be conveniently transported by road, railway, sea, and air without worrying about deterioration during transportation. For brand owners, this means lower inventory losses and more efficient supply chain management.
SMOICON ® The full scenario application of MY621
MY621 has strong adaptability, whether it is moisturizing products in the skincare field, base makeup, lip makeup in the makeup field, or even functional antiperspirants, it can play a key role and become the finishing touch in formulas.
I. Skincare products
Among skin care products, MY621 is most suitable for moisturizing cream, lotion, essence and other products. Take a refreshing moisturizing lotion in spring and summer as an example. After adding 5-8% MY621, the feeling of lotion will be significantly improved. The texture that might have been slightly sticky will become silky and easy to push away. At the same time, it has long-lasting moisturizing power, and the matte effect can avoid oily skin caused by oil on the face, especially suitable for consumers with oily or mixed oily skin.
For sensitive skin specific moisturizers, the advantage of MY621 is even more obvious: it does not need to be paired with complex
Emulsifier for cosmetics, and can be compatible with sensitive skin friendly ingredients such as ceramides and panthenol, ensuring moisturizing power while avoiding irritation, allowing sensitive skin users to enjoy a refreshing moisturizing experience.
II. Makeup products
The cosmetics industry is SMOICON ® The main battlefield of MY621, especially in the foundation products such as liquid foundation, makeup lotion, air cushion cream, is revolutionary.
Adding MY621 to the liquid foundation can significantly improve the spread of the product. The liquid foundation that originally needed to be pushed away repeatedly can now cover the whole face evenly with a gentle application, and there will be no patchy feeling of thick and light. More importantly, it can reduce the friction between liquid foundation and the skin, avoid the problem of sticking powder and rubbing mud, and even in dry winter, it can make the foundation look good. At the same time, its oil control ability can extend the duration of the base makeup, and there will be no mottled or peeling after oil is applied, presenting a natural creamy skin makeup effect.
MY621 also plays a prominent role in pre makeup lotion. Many people use pre makeup lotion before applying makeup to make the subsequent makeup more snug, but ordinary pre makeup lotion either absorbs slowly or is sticky and sticky. And added ® MY621 makeup lotion absorbs quickly. After application, the skin is fresh and not sticky. It is not easy to rub mud when applying liquid foundation later.
III. Functional products
In addition to skincare and makeup, MY621 also performs well in functional products such as antiperspirants and deodorizers. Traditional antiperspirants are often thick and heavy in texture, which can leave white marks on clothes after application. Some products also contain irritating ingredients, which can easily cause redness and itching of underarm skin.
While adding MY621, the texture will become light, thin and smooth, and the application will be as easy as applying lotion without leaving white marks. At the same time, its breathable membrane can reduce sweat secretion, inhibit bacterial growth, achieve long-lasting anti sweat and deodorizing effects, and is gentle and non irritating, even for sensitive skin users to use with confidence.
Compared to traditional raw materials
Many people may ask: With so many silicon materials on the market, why does MY621 stand out? In fact, compared to traditional raw materials, its advantages are mainly reflected in three dimensions:
I. Skin texture
Ordinary silicone materials such as Cyclopentasiloxane can improve smoothness, but they are prone to false smoothness. After application, the skin may feel smooth but not absorbed. Traditional oils such as triglycerides, although moisturizing, have a strong stickiness and slow absorption. SMOICON ® MY621 precisely balances skin feel and practicality - it comes with a velvet like smooth texture that can be quickly absorbed by the skin after application, leaving a dry and non sticky soft touch. There is no false smoothness or sticky residue, and the skin experience is very natural.
II. Formula advantages
Traditional beauty products that want to achieve smooth skin sensation, rapid absorption, and long-lasting moisturization at the same time usually need to be compounded with multiple ingredients, such as adding cyclopentasiloxane to enhance smoothness, relying on glycerin for basic moisturization, and then adding
Emulsifying wax to maintain the stability of the formula system. But such a compounding method not only increases the cost of raw material procurement and formula development, but may also cause quality problems such as formula instability and product layering due to the interaction of multiple components.
MY621 itself integrates three core attributes of smooth skin sensation, rapid absorption, and moisturizing nourishment, which can meet the basic formula requirements without adding too many auxiliary ingredients. At the same time, it also has good compatibility and can be friendly with various beauty ingredients, effectively reducing uncertainty in the compounding process and significantly reducing risks in formula research and production, making product development more efficient and worry free.
III. Security guarantee
Although some raw materials on the market can achieve similar functional effects, there may be potential safety hazards: for example, certain cationic surfactants may cause irritation to the skin after use, especially not suitable for sensitive skin groups; However, some niche raw materials may face issues such as unstable supply chains and significant differences in product quality between different batches, which can affect the consistency of finished products.
MY621 has undergone toxicology testing and its product properties are mild, without causing irritation to the skin. It is also more reassuring for sensitive skin. This raw material is produced on a large scale by Hubei Mingya New Material Technology Co., Ltd. The production process is controllable and the batch stability is strong. Each batch of products is equipped with a corresponding COA quality certificate, ensuring the reliability of the raw material quality from the source and allowing both the brand and consumers to use it with peace of mind.
