Abstract: A topical composition with silicone oil emulsified in water. The topical composition may be made by diluting a concentrated silicone oil-in-water emulsion with water. The silicone oil of the topical composition and of the concentrated silicone oil-in-water emulsion is suspended in the water by one or more non-ionic surfactants. A combination of non-ionic surfactants may be employed. The topical composition may also include a blend of preservatives, which may be selected to have a synergistic effect. The silicone oil constitutes about 35% of the weight of the concentrated silicone oil-in-water emulsion. The non-ionic surfactant or surfactants make up about 3.5% of the weight of the concentrated oil-in-water emulsion. The diluted topical composition may contain silicone oil in amounts of about 0.1 to about 35%, preferably less than 3% down to about 1%, and more preferably about 1 to about 2% of the weight of the topical composition.
