Abstract: The invention provides improved silicone elastomer gels and related hydrosilylation processes and cosmetics. Cross-linked silicone elastomer gels made by processes of the invention exhibit superior characteristics, including improved organic solubility, consistent gelation, stability and enhanced lubricity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel films prepared from a water dispersible thermoplastic resin and one or more silicone elastomers, which are optionally chemically modified to contain at least one internal plasticizer optionally including an emulsifier, which produce an integral film when placed on a substrate which exhibits unexpectedly exceptional characteristics of enhanced water resistance, wear, adhesion and transfer resistance characteristics as defined herein. These compositions may be further combined with components typically used in personal care products to produce personal care compositions, especially including lipsticks and color cosmetics, among numerous others.
