Abstract
The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions for topical application to the skin. The compositions comprise an organopolysiloxane elastomer dispersed in a hydrocarbon vehicle. The present invention also includes a cosmetic composition comprising a silicone gel combined with a compatible cosmetically acceptable carrier where the silicone gel comprises the elastomer dispersed in the vehicle. The compositions of the invention are transfer resistant and produce a unique soft and powdery sensation on the skin due to the combination of the elastomer with the hydrocarbon vehicle.
Claims15
A cosmetic composition for topical application to the skin containing about 30 to 60 percent by weight of the composition of a silicone gel comprising an organopolysiloxane elastomer pre-dispersed in a hydrocarbon vehicle, in combination with a cosmetically acceptable carrier comprising a volatile branched hydrocarbon oil, wherein said elastomer is a reaction product of an organopolysiloxane having an unsaturated group bonded to at least one terminal silicon atom and a silicone compound, said reaction product is at least partially cross-linked.
A method of producing a composition having a powdery sensation on the skin comprising adding to a compatible cosmetically acceptable carrier comprising about 30 to 60 percent by weight of the composition of a volatile branched hydrocarbon oil, a silicone gel comprising an organopolysiloxane elastomer pre-dispersed in a hydrocarbon vehicle, wherein said elastomer is a reaction product of an organopolysiloxane having an unsaturated group bonded to at least one terminal silicon atom and a silicone compound, said reaction product is at least partially cross-linked.
