  • Emulsions of silicones with non-aqueous hydroxylic solvents
    Patent number: 6271295
    Abstract: A composition comprising the hydrosilylation addition product of a linear alkenyl functionalized polyorganosiloxane and an organohydrogen siloxane stabilize non-aqueous emulsions utilizing non-aqueous organic hydroxylic solvents and when dispersions of the addition product in a carrier solvent are subjected to a particle size reduction process that includes flow induced shearing, the new compositions provide for components in personal care formulations that have improved spreadability and substance as a consequence of a unique particle size distribution. The continuous phase of the emulsion comprises a non-aqueous phase.
    Type: Grant
