Silicone Fluid BC 2231 composition and main features
Silicone Fluid BC 2231 is a transparent, low viscosity liquid from the family of polydimethylsiloxanes. It is odorless, colorless, resistant to oxidation, and stable under long term storage conditions. Due to its chemical neutrality, BC 2231 is widely used in cosmetics, hair care, personal care, and decorative formulations. The ingredient provides an elegant skin feel, improves spreading, and enhances the sensory qualities of finished products.
Functional advantages of Silicone Fluid BC 2231 in cosmetics
The main role of BC 2231 is to create a smooth and silky effect without leaving a heavy or greasy layer. On the skin it forms a breathable protective film, preserving hydration while maintaining natural balance. In hair care it acts as a conditioning agent, adding gloss, reducing tangling, and improving manageability. In decorative cosmetics the fluid ensures even distribution of pigments, supports uniform coverage, and prolongs wear time of foundations, primers, and powders.
Application of BC 2231 across industries
Silicone Fluid BC 2231 is included in many product types:
— skin creams, lotions, and emulsions for hydration and protection
— serums with active ingredients for targeted care
— shampoos, conditioners, and leave in treatments for smoothness and shine
— sprays and serums for split ends and anti static action
— decorative cosmetics such as primers, powders, and liquid foundations
— sun care products to improve water resistance and durability
Its compatibility with oils, emollients, emulsifiers, and actives makes BC 2231 an adaptable raw material both for laboratory formulations and for industrial production.
