A typical example of such an organosilicon compound is a polyether-modified silicone oil composed of a polydimethylsiloxane as a hydrophobe, a polyether of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene as a hydrophilic group. Its greatest feature is that it has excellent surface activity both in organic and in water. In silicone-based personal care products, it is particularly suitable as an emulsifier, you can get a very stable emulsion. Even adding 75% water, can get a stable system. It also reduces the stickiness of past lotion care products. In addition, polyether-modified silicone oils, unlike other silicones, do not interfere with the foam properties of shampoos, and in some cases instrumentally measuring surfaces, polyether-modified silicone oils can actually improve the properties of the foam.
