Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of stable oil in water emulsions which comprises (a) mixing an oil with effective emulsifying concentration of a silicone based phosphate ester (b) subsequently adding water and in a final step (c) homogenizing the resulting mixture to obtain an surprisingly stable emulsion.

Abstract: The invention discloses a process of conditioning hair and skin which comprises contacting the skin or hair with an effective conditioning amount of a series of novel fatty carboxylic acid salt of organofunctional silicone amine. The amino pendant functionality is present within the polymer. Compounds of the invention by virtue of their being salts, deposit on the surface of various substrates. Thereby altering the substrate's surface physical properties. The desirable durable properties which can be given to substrates include; softness, lubrication and hydrophobicity. The compounds of the present invention are prepared by the neutralization of a silicone amine with a fatty carboxylic acid.
