Abstract: A polyorganosiloxane emulsion comprising (A) polyorganosiloxane, (B) N-acylalkyltaurine, salts thereof, and combinations thereof, and (C) water, the aforementioned emulsion having an average particle diameter of 0.15 &mgr;m or or greater; a method of preparation of the polyorganosiloxane emulsion, characterized by subjecting a polyorganosiloxane (a) having a molecular weight lower than that of component (A), to emulsification polymerization in water in the presence of component (B), and a cosmetic raw material comprising the aforementioned polyorganosiloxane emulsion. The cosmetic raw material of the invention possesses excellent cosmetic functionalities such as wettability, smoothness, and good affinity to skin and hair. Furthermore, it is characterized by good stability in storage and compounding stability in combination with other cosmetic raw materials.

Abstract: A cosmetic raw material possesses excellent compounding stability in cosmetic products. The cosmetic raw material is produced from a vinyl-type polymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in its side molecular chain. The cosmetic raw material is composed of the vinyl-type polymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in its side molecular chain, and a solution or a dispersion of a liquid such as a silicone oil, organic oil, alcohol, or water.

Abstract: A cosmetic raw material provides uniform dispersions of silicone oils and crosslinked silicone particles in cosmetic products. The cosmetic products consist of the cosmetic raw material combined with other types of cosmetic raw materials. This provides pleasant sensations of touch with the fingers and skin, improved rubbing properties, and sensation in their use. The method of manufacturing the cosmetic products has a high efficiency. The cosmetic raw material is made from a silicone oil emulsion containing crosslinked silicone particles having an average diameter of 0.05-100 &mgr;m which are contained in silicone oil drops having an average diameter of 0.1-500 &mgr;m, the drops in turn being dispersed in water. The diameter of the crosslinked silicone particles is less than the diameter of the silicone oil drops.

Abstract: A cured silicone powder inhibited from evolving unpleasant odors with the passage of time, and an efficient method for preparation of the cured silicone powder, in which the surface of the cured silicone powder is treated with an alkali, by dipping the cured silicone powder in an aqueous alkaline solution.

Abstract: An organopolysiloxane gum emulsion is afforded by the emulsification of an organopolysiloxane gum in water. The organopolysiloxane gum emulsion is useful as a cosmetic base, lustrant, lubricant, antifoam, fiber-treatment agent, and paint additive. The organopolysiloxane gum emulsion includes(A) 100 weight parts organopolysiloxane gum whose plasticity at 25.degree. C. is at least 0.75 mm,(B) 1 to 100 weight parts emulsifying agent, and(C) 3 to 800 weight parts water.
