Abstract
Improving the sustainability of energy-intensive materials, such as silicone, can be achieved through the incorporation of fillers, reducing the total amount of silicone needed. In this context, the incorporation of biodiesel-originating glycerol into commercially available hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pre-polymer has not only exhibited cost-effectiveness but also demonstrates a reduction of the environmental impact of silicone elastomers and adhesives [1].
Due to the ability of glycerol to dissolve and release active ingredients, the two-phase glycerol-silicone elastomers have potential applications in the skin care industry [2]. In this study, we propose a biocompatible skin-cure silicone-glycerol patch with active ingredients that ensure a comfortable and gentle adaptation to the skin. The efficacy of the glycerol-silicone skin cure formulation in improving skin properties was demonstrated.
