Abstract
The invention is directed to a dry feeling silicone that not only provides a dry feel when applied to skin, but also has a low surface tension, provides spreadability and contains essentially no cyclic silicones and additionally and importantly cannot is not form to make cyclomethicone. The ability to make a product that (1) has the dry feel, (2) is cyclomethicone free, (3) is not capable of making cyclomethicone when exposed to catalyst and (4) is not flammable is a long felt need, unsatisfied need in the cosmetic industry.
