Silicone liquid crystals, silicone vesicles, and silicone gels are formed by combining (i) an amine functional silicone or an organic amine compound, (ii) an organic epoxide containing at least two epoxy groups or an epoxy functional silicone containing at least two epoxy groups, and (iii) a fluid such as water, a silicone fluid other than a silicone used in (i) and (ii), and a polar organic compound or nonpolar organic compound other than organic compounds used in (i) and (ii) in which the polar and nonpolar organic compound are present at a concentration to provide a level of solids less than 40 percent by weight based on the weight of (i)-(iii). These silicone liquid crystals, silicone vesicles, and silicone gels are useful in personal care for preparing various skin, hair, and underarm products.
A composition comprising the reaction product obtained by combining (i) an amine functional silicone, (ii) an organic epoxide containing at least two epoxy groups or an epoxy functional silicone containing at least two epoxy groups, (iii) water, (iv) a surfactant, and (v) an active ingredient selected from the group consisting of vitamins, drugs, antiperspirant salts, α-hydroxy acids, fragrances, and sunscreens.
A composition comprising the reaction product obtained by combining (i) an amine functional silicone, (ii) an organic epoxide containing at least two epoxy groups or an epoxy functional silicone containing at least two epoxy groups, and (iii) a silicone fluid other than the silicone defined in (i) and (ii).
A composition comprising the reaction product obtained by combining (i) an amine functional silicone;
A composition comprising as a first component, an organosilicon polymer, and as a second component, (i) water, (ii) a volatile polydimethylsiloxane, (iii) a nonvolatile polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity of 0.65-10,000 centistoke (mm2/s), (iv) a polar organic compound, or (v) a nonpolar organic compound, the polar organic compound and the nonpolar organic compound being present in the composition at a concentration to provide a level of solids of less than 40 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the first component and the second component;
