Abstract: An invention is disclosed which comprises siloxane-based polyamides as gelling agents for cosmetic products, methods for making such agents, formulations thereof and cosmetic formulations therewith. These polyamides contain siloxane groups in the main chain and act to thicken compositions containing volatile and/or non-volatile silicone fluids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to triorganosiloxy-endblocked poly(methyl(C6-C40alkyl)siloxane)-poly(methyl(aralkyl)siloxane)-poly(methyl(C2-C4alkyl)siloxane) terpolymers. This invention also relates to two different methods of making these terpolymers. The triorganosiloxy-endblocked poly(methyl(C6-C40alkyl)siloxane)-poly(methyl(aralkyl)siloxane)-poly(methyl(C2-C4alkyl)siloxane) terpolymers of this invention are useful as mold release agents in aluminum die cast release agents, rubber lubricants, and as high reflexive index additives for the personal care industry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a silicone polyether comprising (I) reacting a mixture comprising an olefin functional polyether, an organohydrogensiloxane, and a homogeneous transition metal hydrosilylation catalyst, and (II) subjecting the product of (I) to hydrogen gas. The method of this invention reduces the amount of olefinic species present which are precursors to odorous compounds. Thus the method of this invention reduces the amount of odor in the silicone polyether product. These odors are objectionable, particularly in personal care applications.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed which comprises siloxane-based polyamides as gelling agents for cosmetic products, methods for making such agents, formulations therof and cosmetic formulations therewith. These polyamides contain siloxane groups in the main chain and act to thicken compositions containing volatile and/or non-volatile silicone fluids. Cosmetic compositions may be made by adding at least one active ingredient such as an antiperspirant.

Abstract: A method of making siloxane-based polyamides which includes at least one repeating unit represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alkylene chain; Y is a linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkylene chain; DP is an integer having a value of 10-500; n is an integer having a value of 1-500. The method involves heating an intimate reaction mixture containing an olefinic acid and an organic diamine at a temperature greater than 100.degree. C. and forming an organic diamide; and thereafter reacting the organic diamide with a hydride-terminated polydimethylsiloxane in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst to form the siloxane-based polyamide.
