Abstract:
A method of making a water-in-silicone emulsion comprising the steps of (i) preparing a silicone phase containing a silicone polyether and a cyclic siloxane; (ii) preparing an aqueous phase containing water and at least one cosmetically acceptable personal care component as an active ingredient; (iii) adding a silicone latex to the aqueous phase; (iv) combining the silicone phase with the aqueous phase containing the silicone latex; and (v) mixing the combined phases until an emulsion is formed; the silicone phase comprising 20-80 percent by weight of the emulsion, and the aqueous phase comprising 20-80 percent by weight of the emulsion, based on the total weight of the emulsion.
