Affected by the soaring prices of imported silicone oil, the production costs of shampoo and skin care products have risen by 15%, and P&G China has started the research and development of castor oil-based alternatives. The trade war is superimposed on the EU REACH regulations, and the certification barriers for cosmetic-grade silicone oil continue to increase. It is worth noting that the domestic beauty brand Perfect Diary has launched the "AI Formulator" system, which optimizes the use ratio of silicone oil through machine learning and reduces the cost of each product by 8%. Industry insiders revealed that medical silicone oil has not been affected by the exemption list for the time being, but the inventory of silicone oil for minimally invasive surgical instruments is only enough to last for 6 months.
