Abstract
The structural diversity of organosilicon compounds used in decorative and care cosmetic products is studied. The unique physicochemical properties of silicones allowing their application as emollients, moisturizers, emulsifiers, film formers, viscosity regulators, and antistatic and binding agents are described. Mechanisms of action of various structure silicones, due to which organosilicon compounds are advantageously used to impart certain properties to cosmetic products, are demonstrated. A comparative analysis of the efficiency of silicones versus natural compounds serving similar functions in cosmetic products is performed. The issue of silicone safety for human health is considered.
