Recently, high temperature warnings have continued to be issued across many parts of China, spurring a surge in demand for sunscreen products. Silicone oil, a component of silicone materials, is becoming a new favorite in the sunscreen market due to its unique properties. A well-known daily chemical brand's "Ice Feel Sunscreen" uses methyl silicone oil as its core ingredient. Its molecular structure forms a breathable protective film on the skin's surface, effectively reflecting UV rays while avoiding the sticky feeling associated with traditional sunscreens. According to Baichuan Yingfu data, the market size of daily chemical products containing silicone oil is projected to grow by 23% year-on-year in 2025, with sunscreen accounting for over 40%. Silicone oil's low surface tension also makes it a preferred emulsifier in cosmetics. An international beauty group's newly developed "Water-Based Sunscreen Spray" uses silicone oil to achieve uniform, nano-level coverage, increasing the SPF by 30% while also providing a refreshing feel that has received a 98% positive rating from consumers
