Abstract:
Organopolysiloxane gels are prepared by reacting an unsaturated silicone resin, a minor proportion of a terminally unsaturated polyoxyalkylene polyether, and two Si—H-functional organopolysiloxanes, one (2) with from 0.011 to 0.044 wt. % of Si—H groups, and one (2′) with from 0.045 to 0.35 wt. % of Si—H groups, where the molar ratio of (2) to (2′) is from 0.2 to 20. Compositions containing the gels are storage stable, and can absorb polar and/or hydrophilic substances and yet form monoplastic mixtures. The gels are particularly useful in personal care compositions.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is the U.S. National Phase of PCT Appln. No. PCT/EP2014/077804 filed Dec. 15, 2014, which claims priority to German Application No. 10 2013 226 249.3 filed Dec. 17, 2013, the disclosures of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The invention relates to organopolysiloxane gels having polyether residues, to processes for production thereof and to the use thereof in cosmetic formulations. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Organopolysiloxane gels can be produced by crosslinking an unsaturated organopolysiloxane resin with an Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane, also called an Si—H-functional crosslinker, in the presence of a diluent. 
     Crosslinks are connections between polymer chains in a three-dimensional network. They may be regarded as long-chain branches that are so numerous that a continuous insoluble network or gel is formed. 
     Organopolysiloxane networks are frequently produced via platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions. These frequently involve reaction of an Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane and a vinyl-functional organopolysiloxane. An essential prerequisite for the formation of a 3-dimensional network here is that at least one of the two components, the Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane or the vinyl-functional organopolysiloxane, has more than two functionalities per molecule in the average composition. 
     The platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction offers the advantage in the formation of organopolysiloxane networks that no by-products are formed, and that linkage sites and network architecture are tightly defined. 
     The most important reason for the use of organopolysiloxane gels in cosmetic applications is the sensory advantages achieved thereby, more particularly the improvement in the skinfeel of cosmetic formulations. In addition, these organopolysiloxane gels serve as thickeners in cosmetic formulations. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 6,423,322 B1 and WO 2013/156390 A1 disclose organopolysiloxane gels which can be produced easily by hydrosilylation reaction of a specific vinyl-functional MQ resin with an Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane in the presence of a diluent and a small amount of platinum hydrosilylation catalyst. The resulting gels do not form any threads and can be homogenized easily to give a stable cream or paste. However, a disadvantage of such gels is that they have only low compatibility with polar organic substances, alcohols or water. As a result, such gels are also incapable of absorbing important cosmetic ingredients such as water or glycerol in adequate amounts, and do not show any thickening effect in aqueous or alcoholic mixtures. As a result, such gels are unsuitable or only of limited suitability for the production of water-based or alcohol-based cosmetic products. WO 2013/156390 A1 additionally teaches the addition of an Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane having a particularly low content of Si-bonded hydrogen atoms to improve the skinfeel, particularly advantageous properties being said to be achieved when exclusively an Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane having a particularly low content of Si-bonded hydrogen atoms is used. 
     EP 1 132 430 A1 discloses organopolysiloxane gels which can be produced by hydrosilylation reaction of a specific vinyl-functional MQ resin and a polyethoxylated or polypropoxylated allyl alcohol with an organopolysiloxane having a high content of Si—H bonds with about 0.5% by weight of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, in the presence of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane as a diluent and a small amount of platinum hydrosilylation catalyst. The resulting gels do not form any threads and can be homogenized to give a stable cream or paste. The use of a crosslinker having a high content of Si—H bonds with 0.54% by weight of Si-bonded hydrogen is described as being particularly preferred. The use of a crosslinker of lower functionality in minor amounts is said to be possible. 
     However, a significant disadvantage of these organopolysiloxane gels is, in particular, that the skinfeel generated is not ideal for cosmetic applications. Because of the relatively high proportion of vinyl-functional MQ resin, such gels are also comparatively costly to produce. Furthermore, it is found that it is not possible to produce suitable gels when linear organopolysiloxanes are used as a diluent. However, linear organopolysiloxanes are gaining increasing significance in cosmetic formulations, since cyclic organopolysiloxanes, as used in the organopolysiloxane gels disclosed in EP 1 132 430 A1, are increasingly being avoided in cosmetic formulations because of their possibly toxic effects. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The problem addressed by the invention was that of providing organopolysiloxane gels having improved properties, especially having an improved skinfeel, and not having the abovementioned disadvantages.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     It has been found that, completely surprisingly, particularly advantageous gels are obtained specifically when the organopolysiloxane gel is produced using a mixture of an Si—H-containing crosslinker having a particularly low Si—H content and an Si—H-containing crosslinker having a relatively high Si—H content, and, in addition, a polyoxyalkylated allyl alcohol is bonded covalently to the organopolysiloxane gel. Such gels, in combination with cyclic and linear organopolysiloxanes, have excellent skinfeel, they have improved compatibility with polar organic substances and are even capable of absorbing extremely hydrophilic liquids such as water or glycerol without losing the viscous gel structure. It has been found that, surprisingly, the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention can even absorb more than 10% by weight of water, based on the total weight of the organopolysiloxane gel, when less than 0.3% by weight of a polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b), for example a polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether having about 10 oxyethylene units (such as Polyglycol A 500, commercially available from Clariant) is covalently bonded to the organopolysiloxane gel. 
     In the context of this invention, the formulae (I) and (I′) are to be understood in such a way that the “a” —(R 2 SiO)— units and “b” —(RHSiO)— units may be distributed in any desired manner in the organopolysiloxane molecule. 
     The Si—H-containing organopolysiloxanes (2) used in accordance with the invention preferably have a viscosity of 50 to 2000 mm 2 /s, more preferably 100 to 1000 mm 2 /s, and most preferably 150 to 600 mm 2 /s, in each case at 25° C., and preferably a molar a:(b+c) ratio of preferably 30:1 to 150:1, more preferably 30:1 to 80:1, and most preferably 40:1 to 70:1. The Si—H-containing organopolysiloxanes (2′) used in accordance with the invention preferably have a viscosity of 3 to 2000 mm 2 /s, more preferably 20 to 1200 mm 2 /s, in each case at 25° C., and preferably a molar a:(b+c) ratio of 4:1 to 30:1, more preferably 8:1 to 30:1. 
     It has been found that, surprisingly, the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention based on the mixture of (2) and (2′) have significantly better sensory properties, especially a better skinfeel, than gels based on an organopolysiloxane having a relatively high content of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, as disclosed in EP 1 132 430 A1, or than gels based on an organopolysiloxane having a very low content of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, as taught by WO 2013/156390 A1. The mixture of (2) and (2′) is defined in that the weight ratio of (2) to (2′) is preferably 0.2 to 20, more preferably 0.5 to 10, and most preferably 1.1 to 10. 
     The gels of the invention have exceptional glidability and do not have an unwanted oily feel. After distribution on the skin, they leave a more supple skinfeel and do not leave any unwanted oily, filmlike or dull feel. 
     Examples of R radicals are alkyl radicals such as the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, 1-n-butyl, 2-n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, and tert-pentyl radicals, hexyl radicals such as the n-hexyl radical, heptyl radicals such as the n-heptyl radical, octyl radicals such as the n-octyl radical and isooctyl radicals such as the 2,2,4-trimethylpentyl radical, nonyl radicals such as the n-nonyl radical, decyl radicals such as the n-decyl radical, dodecyl radicals such as the n-dodecyl radical, and octadecyl radicals such as the n-octadecyl radical; cycloalkyl radicals such as cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and methylcyclohexyl radicals; aryl radicals such as the phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl and phenanthryl radical; alkaryl radicals such as o-, m-, p-tolyl radicals, xylyl radicals and ethylphenyl radicals; and aralkyl radicals such as the benzyl radical, and the α- and the β-phenylethyl radical.

where
 
R is as defined above,

with the proviso that the sum of x+y is not more than 3, and that at least 2 R′ radicals are present on average per molecule, preferably at least 3 R′ radicals; at least 20 mol % of T and/or Q units (T units: sum of x+y=1; Q units: sum of x+y=0), preferably at least 20 mol % of Q units, have to be present, and D units (sum of x+y=2) may additionally be present.
 
     Preferably, the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resins of the formula (II) are 
     MQ resins composed of units of the formulae
 
SiO 2   (Q units) and
 
R 3 SiO 1/2  and R 2 R′SiO 1/2   (M units),
 
where R and R′ are as defined above.
 
     The molar ratio of M to Q units is preferably in the range from 0.5 to 4.0, more preferably in the range from 0.5 to 2.0, and most preferably in the range from 0.6 to 1.5. These silicone resins may also contain up to 10% by weight of free hydroxy or alkoxy groups. 
     Preferably, the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resins (1a) at 25° C. have a viscosity greater than 0.7 mm 2 /s, particular preference being given to those resins which have, at 25° C., a viscosity of greater than 1000 mm 2 /s or are solids. The weight-average molecular weight M w  determined by gel permeation chromatography (based on a polystyrene standard) of these resins is preferably 334 to 200,000 g/mol, more preferably 1000 to 20,000 g/mol. 
     The unsaturated organopolysiloxane resins (1a) in the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention preferably have an iodine number of less than 254, and preference is given to organopolysiloxane resins having an iodine number less than 76. 
     The unsaturated hydrocarbyl radical is preferably bonded to an M unit (=M Vi ) or D unit (=D Vi ), preferably to an M unit, where the molar M:(M Vi +D Vi ) ratio, preferably M:M Vi , is preferably in the range of 0 to 50, more preferably in the range of 0 to 20, and most preferably in the range of 2.5 to 13. 
     Examples of R′ radicals are alkyl radicals such as the vinyl, 5-hexenyl, cyclohexenyl, 1-propenyl, allyl, 3-butenyl and 4-pentenyl radicals, and alkynyl radicals such as the ethynyl, propargyl and 1-propynyl radical. Preferably, the R′ radical are alkenyl radicals, more preferably w-alkenyl radicals, and most preferably the vinyl radical. 
     Polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohols (1b) that are used in accordance with the invention are preferably those of the general formula
 
H 2 C═CH—R 1 —(OC n H 2n ) m —OH  (III)
 
where
 
R 1  is a divalent hydrocarbyl radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably a radical of the formula —CH 2 —, —CH(CH 3 )— or —C(CH 3 ) 2 —, more preferably a radical of the formula —CH 2 —, and n is an integer from 1 to 4, preferably 2 or 3, and m is a positive integer, preferably from 1 to 40.
 
     Preferred examples of polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohols (1b) are those of the general formula
 
H 2 C═CH—R 1 —(OCH 2 CH 2 ) o [OCH 2 CH(CH 3 )] p —OH  (IV)
 
where R 1  is as defined above, and o is 0 or an integer from 1 to 30, preferably 2 to 20, more preferably 6 to 14 and p is 0 or an integer from 1 to 30, preferably 0 to 10, preferably 0,
 
where the sum of o+p is 1 to 40, preferably 2 to 20, more preferably 6-14.
 
     A particularly preferred example of a polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b) is polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether having about 10 oxyethylene units, available, for example, as Polyglycol A 500 from Clariant. 
     The formula (IV) should be understood such that o —(OCH 2 CH 2 )— groups and p-[(OCH 2 CH(CH 3 )]— groups may be distributed arbitrarily in the alcohol molecule (1b). 
     In the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention, unsaturated organopolysiloxane resins (1a) and polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohols (1b) are used in amounts of preferably 4.5 to 0.1 mol, more preferably 2 to 0.8 mol, and most preferably 1.8 to 1.1 mol, of hydrocarbyl radical having aliphatic C—C multiple bond per mole of Si-bonded hydrogen in Si—H-functional organopolysiloxanes (2) and (2′), with the proviso that the proportion by weight of the polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohols (1b) is 0.01%-3% by weight, preferably 0.03%-0.29% by weight, based on the total weight of the organopolysiloxane gel. It has been found that, surprisingly, the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention, containing a combination of the Si—H-functional organopolysiloxanes (2) and (2′) with a polyoxyalkylated allyl alcohol can absorb more than 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the organopolysiloxane gel, even when less than 0.3% by weight of a polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b), for example a polyethylene glycol monoallyl ether having about 10 oxyethylene units (such as Polyglycol A 500, commercially available from Clariant) is bonded covalently to the organopolysiloxane gel. It is thus a significant advantage of the invention that the amount of polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b) used can be reduced by the combination with the Si—H-functional organopolysiloxanes (2) and (2′). This is very important because the polyoxyalkylated allyl alcohol is not just comparatively expensive but is also produced from extraordinarily toxic raw materials. 
     The weight ratio of MQ resin to the Si—H-containing organopolysiloxane in the organopolysiloxane gels disclosed in EP 1 132 430 A1 is in the range from 9 to 7. The high proportion of comparatively costly resin makes these gels comparatively costly. In the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention, the weight ratio of unsaturated organopolysiloxane resins (1) to the mixtures of the Si—H-containing organopolysiloxanes (2) and (2′) is preferably in the range from 3 to 0.1, more preferably in the range of 2.5 to 0.1, and most preferably in the range of 2.0 to 0.1, which is the reason why the gels of the invention are much less expensive to produce. 
     The catalysts (3) used in the process of the invention may be the same catalysts which have also been usable to date to promote the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen onto aliphatic multiple bond. The catalysts are preferably a metal from the group of the platinum metals or a compound or a complex from the group of the platinum metals. Examples of such catalysts are metallic and finely divided platinum, which may be present on supports such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide or activated carbon, compounds or complexes of platinum, such as platinum halides, e.g. PtCl 4 , H 2 PtCl 6 .6H 2 O, Na 2 PtCl 4 .4H 2 O, platinum-olefin complexes, platinum-alcohol complexes, platinum alkoxide complexes, platinum-ether complexes, platinum-aldehyde complexes, platinum-ketone complexes, including reaction products formed from H 2 PtCl 6 .6H 2 O and cyclohexanone, platinum-vinylsiloxane complexes such as platinum-1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane complexes with or without a content of detectable inorganically bound halogen, bis(γ-picoline)-platinum dichloride, trimethylenedipyridineplatinum dichloride, dicyclopentadieneplatinum dichloride, (dimethyl sulfoxide)ethyleneplatinum(II) dichloride, cyclooctadiene-platinum dichloride, norbornadieneplatinum dichloride, γ-picolineplatinum dichloride, cyclopentadieneplatinum dichloride, and reaction products of platinum tetrachloride with olefin and primary amine or secondary amine or primary and secondary amine, such as the reaction product of platinum tetrachloride dissolved in 1-octene with sec-butylamine, or ammonium-platinum complexes. Preferred hydrosilylation catalysts are platinum compounds present in a solvent suitable for use in cosmetic formulations. 
     Preferably, the catalyst (3) is used in amounts of 1 to 50 ppm by weight (parts per weight per million parts by weight), more preferably 2 to 20 ppm by weight, calculated in each case as elemental platinum and based on the total weight of the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resins (1), the mixture of the Si—H-functional organopolysiloxanes (2) and (2′) and the diluent (4). 
     The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention contain preferably 1% to 98% by weight of diluent, preferably 50% to 95% by weight of diluent, based on the total weight of the organopolysiloxane gels. 
     Unreactive or relatively unreactive diluents are preferred. In the context of the present invention, the term “unreactive” is used in relation to the crosslinking reaction in question and the reactants used therein. A relatively unreactive diluent is less than one tenth as reactive with the reactants of the crosslinking reaction as compared with the reactants with one another in the crosslinking reaction. 
     Suitable examples of diluents include cyclic and linear organopolysiloxanes, organic diluents and mixtures of organopolysiloxanes and organic diluents. 
     The organopolysiloxane may be a single organopolysiloxane or a mixture of organopolysiloxanes. The organopolysiloxane may bear alkyl, aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl groups. Such organopolysiloxanes may be specified by way of example by polydimethylsiloxane, polydiethylsiloxane, polymethylethylsiloxane, polymethylphenylsiloxane and polydiphenylsiloxane, but are not limited thereto. 
     Another possibility is the use of functional organopolysiloxanes, for example acrylamide-functional siloxane fluids, acryloyl-functional siloxane fluids, amide-functional siloxane fluids, amino-functional siloxane fluids, carbinol-functional siloxane fluids, carboxy-functional siloxane fluids, chloroalkyl-functional siloxane fluids, epoxy-functional siloxane fluids, glycol-functional siloxane fluids, ketal-functional siloxane fluids, mercapto-functional siloxane fluids, methyl ester-functional siloxane fluids, perfluoro-functional siloxane fluids and silano-functional siloxanes. 
     Cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes may be specified by way of example by hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, but are not limited thereto. 
     Preferably, the organopolysiloxane is a polydimethylsiloxane having 2 to 200 silicon atoms, preferably 2 to 50 silicon atoms, particular preference being given to linear polydimethylsiloxanes having a viscosity of 1.5 to 50 mm 2 /s at 25° C. 
     Organic diluents used may be aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, esters, ethers, alkyl halides or aromatic halides. Representative examples are alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, i-propanol, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol, 2-octanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as pentane, cyclohexane, heptane, paint benzines; alkyl halides such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, perchloroethylene, ethyl chloride and chlorobenzene; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene; esters of carboxylic acids having 2 to 30 carbon atoms, such as ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, ethyl acetoacetate, amyl acetate, isobutyl isobutyrate, benzyl acetate, isopropyl palmitate and isopropyl myristate; ethers such as ethyl ether, n-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, diacetone alcohol, methyl amyl ketone and diisobutyl ketone; fatty oils including polyunsaturated ω-3- and ω-6-fatty acids, and esters thereof; vegetable oils such as peanut, olive, palm, canola, maize kernel, soya and sunflower oil and the like; and natural and synthetic oils or oil-soluble solids, such as various mono-, di- and triglycerides, polyalkoxylated vegetable oils, lanolin, lecithin and the like; and mineral oil hydrocarbons such as petrolatum, mineral oil, benzine, petroleum ether. These examples serve for illustration and should not be regarded as a restriction. 
     Other mixed organic diluents may also be used, such as acetonitrile, nitromethane, dimethylformamide, propylene oxide, trioctyl phosphate, butyrolactone, furfural, pine oil, turpentine and m-cresol. 
     Suitable organic diluents are also volatile flavoring substances such as peppermint oil, spearmint oil, menthol, vanilla, cinnamon oil, clove oil, bay oil, anise oil, eucalyptus oil, thyme oil, cedar oil, nutmeg oil, sage oil, cassia oil, cocoa, liquorice juice, starch sugar syrup from corn having a high fructose content, citrus oils such as lemon, orange, lime and grapefruit, fruit essences such as apple, pear, peach, grape, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, plum, pineapple and apricot; and other useful flavoring substances including aldehydes and esters, such as ethyl cinnamate, cinnamaldehyde, eugenyl formate, p-methylanisole, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, anisaldehyde, citral, neral, decanal, vanillin, tolylaldehyde, 2,6-dimethyloctanal and 2-ethylbutyraldehyde. 
     A portion of or the entire organic diluent may also include one or more volatile fragrances, such as natural products and perfume oils. Some representative natural products and perfume oils are amber, benzoin, cibet, clove, cedar oil, jasmine, maté, mimosa, musk, myrrh, iris, sandalwood oil and vetiver oil; aroma chemicals such as amyl salicylate, amylcinnamaldehyde, benzyl acetate, citronellol, coumarin, geraniol, isobornyl acetate, ambrette and terpinyl acetate, and various classic perfume oil families such as the flower bouquet family, the oriental family, the chypre family, the wood family, the citrus family, the canoe family, the leather family, the spice family and the herb family. 
     The organic diluent may also include aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably saturated hydrocarbons. The aliphatic hydrocarbons may be straight-chain or branched, and the alicyclic hydrocarbons may be unsubstituted cyclic hydrocarbons or aliphatic hydrocarbyl-substituted hydrocarbons. Examples of suitable hydrocarbons are n-heptane, n-octane, isooctane, n-decane, isodecane, n-dodecane, isododecane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, methylcyclohexane, dimethylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, nonylcyclohexane and the like. This enumeration too serves for elucidation and should not be regarded as a restriction. 
     Further suitable organic diluents are oil-like polyethers such as bis(alkyl) ethers of low molecular weight glycols, and liquid oligomeric and polymeric polyoxyalkylene glycols, and the alkyl mono- and diethers and mono- and dialkyl esters thereof. Preferably, the predominant portion of the polyoxyalkylene glycols is produced from a predominant portion (&gt;50 mol %) of alkylene oxides having more than two carbon atoms, i.e. propylene oxide, 1,2- and 2,3-butylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, oxetane, cyclohexene oxide and the like. 
     Preferred organic diluents have a viscosity in the range from 0.5 to 200 mm 2 /s (25° C.), particular preference being given to those diluents having a boiling point in the range from 50° C. to 300° C. 
     It is possible to use numerous mixtures of diluents restricted solely to those compositions where no phase separation occurs after the production of the organopolysiloxane gel of the invention. 
     The production of the gel is easy to perform. In general, all constituents apart from the catalyst are added, the mixture is stirred gradually until the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resin has dissolved, and then the catalyst is added while stirring continuously. The composition can be left at room temperature until a gel has formed, or heated. Preferably, the composition is heated to a temperature between 50° C. and 130° C. and preferably between 70° C. and 120° C., until the mixture gelates or solidifies. The gelation preferably proceeds within ten hours, more preferably within three hours. Organopolysiloxane gels suitable for use in cosmetic formulations are obtained. 
     In a particularly preferred process, in the first component step of gel production, the mixture of the Si—H-functional crosslinkers (2) and (2′) and the polyoxyalkylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b) are first mixed. Subsequently, while stirring continuously, the catalyst is added. The mixture is heated preferably to a temperature between 50° C. and 130° C., more preferably between 70° C. and 120° C., and stirred at this temperature for 1 to 480 minutes, preferably 1 to 240, more preferably 5 to 60 minutes. Thereafter, in the second component step of gel production, the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resin (1a) is added while stirring, and stirring is continued until the mixture gelates or solidifies. The gelation proceeds preferably within ten hours, more preferably within three hours. Organopolysiloxane gels suitable for use in cosmetic formulations are obtained. 
     In an alternative particularly preferred process, in the first component step of gel production, just one of the two Si—H-functional crosslinkers and the polyoxylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b) are mixed. In the second component step of gel production, before, during or after the addition of the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resin (1a), the second Si—H-functional crosslinker is added. 
     In an optional second process step, the organopolysiloxane gel of the invention obtained in the first process step is homogenized using standard high-shear mixing techniques until the consistency is creamy. This can be effected by intensive mixing and dispersing in rotor-stator stirring apparatus, colloid mills, high-pressure homogenizers, microchannels, membranes, jet nozzles and the like, or by means of ultrasound. Homogenizing equipment and methods are described, for example, in Ullmann&#39;s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, CD-ROM edition 2003, Wiley-VCH Verlag, under the heading “Emulsions”. 
     In an optional third process step, a further amount of diluent is added to the organopolysiloxane gel obtained after the first or optional second process steps. This makes it possible, proceeding from a “base gel”) obtained in the first process step, to produce a multitude of different gels which vary within a wide range in terms of consistency and their profile of properties. It is possible here to use the same diluent which has been used in the first process step, or a second diluent including those described as diluents previously herein. Alternatively, it is also possible to add any desired mixture of the diluents described previously herein and/or an active ingredient for personal care or healthcare or a mixture of an active ingredient for personal care or healthcare with one or more of the diluents described herein, with the proviso that no phase separation occurs. 
     An “active ingredient for personal care or healthcare” in the present context means any compound or mixture of compounds which are known in the specialist field as additives in personal care formulations and which are typically added in order to treat the hair or skin, in order to achieve a cosmetic and/or esthetic benefit, any compound or mixture of compounds which are known in the specialist field in order to achieve a pharmaceutical or medical benefit; any compound with which pharmacological efficacy or any other effect in diagnosis, healing, alleviation, treatment or prevention of diseases is to be achieved, or in order to influence the structure or any function of the human or animal body; and any compound which can undergo a chemical change in the production of medicament products and which can be present in modified form in medicaments, in order to cause the specified efficacy or the specified effect. Thus, an “active ingredient for personal care or healthcare” encompasses an active ingredient or active medicament constituent as generally defined by the United States Department of Health &amp; Human Services Food and Drug Administration, Title 21, Chapter I, of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 200-299 and parts 300-499, but is not limited thereto. 
     The active ingredients for personal care or healthcare are preferably selected from the group of the fat- and oil-soluble vitamins, oil-soluble medicaments, particular preference being given to antiacne agents, antibacterial agents, fungicides, inflammation inhibitors, dandruff control agents, narcotics, pruritus-relieving agents, skin inflammation inhibitors and agents which are generally considered to be barrier films, and oil-soluble UV absorbers. 
     Useful active constituents for use in step 3 of the process according to the invention include fat- and oil-soluble vitamins. Useful oil-soluble vitamins include, but are not limited to, vitamin A 1 , RETINOL, C 2  to C 18  esters of RETINOL, vitamin E, TOCOPHEROL, esters of vitamin E and mixtures thereof. RETINOL includes trans-RETINOL, 13-cis-RETINOL, 11-cis-RETINOL, 9-cis-RETINOL and 3,4-didehydro-RETINOL. The oil-soluble vitamin may be used in the composition according to the invention in amounts of 0.01 to 50 percent by weight. 
     It should be noted that RETINOL is an International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient Name (INCI), conferred by The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA), Washington D.C., for vitamin A. Other suitable vitamins and the INCI names for the vitamins in question which are included herein are RETINYL ACETATE, RETINYL PALMITATE, RETINYL PROPIONATE, αTOCOPHEROL, TOCOPHERSOLAN, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, TOCOPHERYL LINOLEATE, TOCOPHERYL NICOTINATE and TOCOPHERYL SUCCINATE. 
     Some examples of commercially available products suitable for use herein are vitamin A acetate, Fluka Chemie AG, Buchs, Switzerland; CIOVI-OX T-50, a vitamin E product from Henkel Corporation, La Grange, Ill.; COVI-OX T-70, another vitamin E product from Henkel Corporation, La Grange, Ill., and vitamin E acetate, a product from Roche Vitamins &amp; Fine Chemicals, Nutley, N.J. 
     Representative examples of some suitable oil-soluble medicaments which can be added as active constituents in the third process step according to the invention are clonidine, scopolamine, propranolol, estradiol, phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, ouabain, atropine, haloperidol, isosorbide, nitroglycerine, ibuprofen, ubiquinone, indomethacin, prostaglandins, naproxen, salbutamol, guanabenz, labetalol, pheniramine, metrifonate and steroids. 
     Likewise encompassed herein as a medicament for the purposes of the present invention are antiacne agents such as benzoyl peroxide, triclosan and tretinoin; antibacterial agents such as chlorhexidine gluconate; fungicides such as miconazole nitrate; inflammation inhibitors such as salicylic acid; corticosteroidal medicaments; non-steroidal inflammation inhibitors such as diclofenac; dandruff control agents such as clobetasol propionate and retinoids, narcotics such as lidocaine; pruritus-relieving agents such as polidocanol; skin inflammation inhibitors such as prednisolone, and agents which are generally regarded as barrier films. 
     Representative examples of oil-soluble UV absorbers which can be added as active constituents in the third process step according to the invention are 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)propane-1,3-dione (INCI: Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane), 2-ethylhexyl (2E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate (INCI: Octyl Methoxycinnamate), 4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-5-(oxophenylmethyl)benzenesulfonic acid (INCI: Benzophenone-4), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic acid sodium salt (INCI: Benzophenone-5) and 2-ethylhexyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (INCI: Ethylhexyl salicylate). 
     Preferably, in a fourth process step, the organopolysiloxane gel of the invention obtained after the first or optional second or optional third process step is homogenized using standard high-shear mixing techniques until the consistency is creamy. Technologies suitable for the purpose are mentioned above. When an additional amount of diluent has been added in the optional third process step, it is distributed homogeneously in the gel in the fourth process step. The gel swells and its softness changes. 
     “Creamy” in relation to the gel is understood to mean that the starting gel can be sheared until the consistency is creamy. The resulting creamy gel, according to its nature, may be pourable or comparatively stiff. The attribute “creamy” distinguishes these sheared gels, which may be transparent or opaque, from the gels produced directly by gelation of the reactive constituents. 
     “Storage-stable” in the context of this invention is understood to mean that the organopolysiloxane gels formed do not separate into two or more phases within 3 months of storage at room temperature, more preferably within 6 months of storage at room temperature, and the softness of the gel does not change significantly within this period. 
     When mixing polar or hydrophilic solvents, such as water or glycerol, into the hydrophilically modified gels of the invention, the solvent is at first absorbed into the gel to form a monophasic homogeneous mixture, and firm creams are obtained when glycerol is used, or gelatin-like masses when water is used. If a particular amount of the polar or hydrophilic solvent is exceeded, a biphasic mixture composed of a white cream and a clear liquid is obtained, meaning that the gel is “saturated” over and above a particular amount of the polar or hydrophilic solvent and does not absorb any further amount of the appropriate polar or hydrophilic solvent. 
     In this aspect, the gels of the invention differ from emulsions that are dilution-stable, meaning that any desired amounts of diluent can be added, forming a lower-viscosity “milk”. The gels of the invention therefore also differ from what are called “self-emulsifying elastomer gels”. 
     A significant advantage of the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention is their improved compatibility with polar or hydrophilic organic substances, for example glycerol, and even water. These important cosmetic ingredients are miscible only in very small amounts, if at all, with conventional organopolysiloxane gels. The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention are capable of absorbing extremely polar substances such as water or glycerol with retention of the viscous gel structure and formation of a monophasic homogeneous mixture. By virtue of their improved compatibility with polar and hydrophilic organic substances and even water, the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention have a thickening effect even in water- or alcohol-based formulations and impart a preferably silky skinfeel to such formulations. 
     The invention therefore provides monophasic homogeneous mixtures comprising
     (a) inventive organopolysiloxane gels having polyether residues and   (b) polar or hydrophilic solvents.   

     Examples of polar or hydrophilic solvents are water, glycerol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol and mixtures thereof, particular preference being given to water and glycerol. 
     The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention may absorb water preferably in amounts of at least 5% by weight, more preferably at least 10% by weight, and preferably at most 400% by weight, more preferably at most 200% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the organopolysiloxane gels. 
     They can absorb glycols in amounts of preferably at least 20% by weight, more preferably at least 25% by weight, and preferably at most 600% by weight, more preferably at most 300% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the organopolysiloxane gels. 
     One skilled in the art will understand that the absorption capacity for diluents is generally limited because of the three-dimensional network structure of organopolysiloxane gels and can vary depending on the network structure and composition. If the absorption capacity for diluents has been exceeded, the formation of a diluent phase in addition to a gel phase is apparent. In the case of the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention, a general tendency is shown for the absorption capacity of hydrophilic substances to be higher in comparable gel formulations when the substitution level with polyoxyalkylated terminally unsaturated alcohol (1b) is higher. This opens up the possibility of controlling and optimizing the hydrophilicity of the organopolysiloxane gel of the invention according to the profile of requirements of the application. 
     Preferably added to the organopolysiloxane gel of the invention is a hydrosilylation catalyst poison or an SiH quencher, which ends the post-curing brought about as a result of remaining crosslinking hydrosilylation reactions that occur in the silicone elastomers. Examples of hydrosilylation catalyst poisons or SiH quenchers suitable for ending the post-curing are organosulfur compounds. Further suitable compounds are mentioned in U.S. Pat. No. 6,200,581. Preferred hydrosilylation catalyst poisons are mercaptoalkyl-organopolysiloxanes, particular preference being given to mercaptopropyl-functional silsesquisiloxanes or mercaptopropyl-functional polyorganosiloxanes, which are preferably used in amounts of 200 to 1.0 mol, more preferably 50 to 1.5 mol, and most preferably 20 to 2.0 mol, of mercapto groups per mole of platinum atoms. The addition of the hydrosilylation catalyst poison or the SiH quencher can be effected in one or more of the process steps mentioned as desired. 
     The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention are suitable with particular preference for cosmetic applications, and are therefore preferably used in cosmetic compositions. However, they are also suitable for other applications, for example for medical and industrial applications. 
     The organopolysiloxane gels are of particular value in personal care products. They can be distributed gently on the skin and can therefore be used alone or mixed with other personal care product constituents, in order to form a multitude of personal care products. 
     Examples of personal care product constituents are esters, waxes, oils and fats of animal or vegetable origin, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, alkyl esters of fatty acids, hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon waxes, water, organic solvents, perfumes, surfactants, oil-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, oil-soluble medicaments, water-soluble medicaments, UV absorbers, active pharmaceutical compounds and others. 
     More particularly, the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention are suitable for antiperspirants and deodorants, since they leave a dry feel and do not cool the skin down during evaporation. They are glidable and improve the properties of skin creams, skincare lotions, moisturizers, face treatments, for example acne or wrinkle removers, body and face cleansers, bath oils, perfumes, eau de cologne, sachets, sunscreens, preshave and aftershave lotions, liquid soaps, shaving soaps and shaving foams. They can be used in hair shampoos, hair conditioners, hair sprays, mousses, permanent wave compositions, hair removers and cuticle removers, in order to improve shine and dry gliding and to provide conditioning benefits. 
     In cosmetics, they function as distributing agents for pigments in makeup, color cosmetics, foundation, rouge, lipsticks, lipbalm, eyeliner, mascara, grease removers and color cosmetic removers. They are suitable as administration systems for oil-soluble active constituents mentioned herein by way of example, for example vitamins, cosmetics and UV absorbers. When they are used in sticks, gels, lotions, creams, roll-ons, the elastomers impart a dry, silky smooth feel. When incorporated into cosmetics and other skincare products, the elastomers impart a matting effect. 
     In addition, the organopolysiloxane gels exhibit a multitude of advantageous properties, for example clarity, storage stability and simplicity of production. Therefore, they have a wide range of application, especially in antiperspirants, deodorants, skincare products, in perfumes as carriers and for hair conditioning, for example in hair balm or hair mask conditioners. 
     The organopolysiloxane gels have uses outside the personal care sector, including the use thereof as filler or insulation material for electrical cables, soil or water barriers for soil stabilization, or as a substitute for epoxy materials which are used in components in the electronics industry. They are likewise suitable as carriers for crosslinked silicone rubber particles. In these applications, they (i) allow simplicity of introduction of particles into such silicone phases or organic phases, such as sealants, paints, coatings, greases, adhesives, antifoams and casting resin compounds, (ii) provide modified rheological, physical or energy-absorbing properties of such phases, either in their pure state or in their final state. 
     In addition, the organopolysiloxane gels are capable of acting as carriers for pharmaceuticals, biocides, herbicides, pesticides and other biologically active substances. 
     In addition, the compositions are employed as additives for nonwoven cellulose-based carrier substrates or nonwoven synthetic carrier substrates which are used in moist cleansing tissues such as moist tissues, moist paper towels and moist hand towels, which are generally marketed for personal hygiene and domestic cleaning purposes. 
     The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention can be used as carriers for controlled and easily regulated release of a volatile active organic substance into the free atmosphere when they are mixed therewith. The volatile substance may especially be a perfume or an insecticide or a substance that repels insects. 
     In this use, the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention find wide use, for example in the modification of fibers, textiles and materials made from cotton or synthetic fibers, woven fabrics, towels, including paper towels, toilet paper or wiping paper, such as serviettes or kitchen roll, or nonwoven fabric, for long-lasting controlled fragrancing or insect repulsion. The mixture of the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention and the volatile active organic substance can also be applied in washing machines and laundry driers directly to materials and textiles as such or as an addition to washing compositions and fabric softeners. 
     The use of the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention as carriers for controlled and easily regulated release of a volatile active organic substance finds use especially in the abovementioned cosmetic applications, where they can bring about an additional effect to the effects described above, by releasing, for example, a perfume in a controlled manner. The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention can also be used in insect repellent preparations, where they release an insecticide or a substance that repels insects. Such products can, for example, be applied directly to the skin or the clothing. 
     In a further application, the mixture of the organopolysiloxane gels of the invention and the volatile active organic substance can be used for controlled fragrancing or insect repulsion in closed spaces, for example in living spaces, offices, bathrooms or motor vehicles such as buses and cars. 
     Gel Formulation, General Method (A and B) 
     According to method A, a “base gel” is first produced, which, after gelation, is diluted by addition of a further amount of diluent. Method B differs from method A basically in that the full amount of diluent is added from the start. No subsequent dilution of the gel obtained takes place. 
     The hydrosilylation is conducted in one step H1 or in two successive steps H1 and H2. 
     Method A: 
     A 2000 mL glass reaction vessel is equipped with a condenser having a connected nitrogen inlet, heating mantle, anchor stirrer and temperature regulator. Prior to commencement of the reaction, the reaction vessel is purged with nitrogen for 5 min. An appropriate amount of diluent, the Si—H-containing crosslinker(s) for process step H1 and the polyoxyethylated allyl alcohol are added. Subsequently, 5 ppm of hydrosilylation catalyst are added and the reaction mixture is heated to 95° C. at a stirrer speed of about 200 rpm for 1 h. Then the optional Si—H-containing crosslinker for process step H2 and then the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resin are added and the mixture is stirred until the resin has dissolved completely. 5 ppm of hydrosilylation catalyst are added and the reaction mixture is stirred at 95° C. at a stirrer speed of about 200 rpm for 2.5 hours. Subsequently, the heating mantle is removed and the mixture is cooled to room temperature at reduced stirrer speed (about 50 rpm) and catalyst poison is added. The gel obtained is homogenized while tilting with an ULTRA-TURRAX® T 50 at 6000 rpm for one minute. A “base gel” is obtained, which can have a creamy to solid or crumbly consistency and is suitable for use in cosmetic products. 
     For the dilution, the desired amount of diluent is added and the mixture is stirred with the anchor stirrer at 50 rpm until the diluent has been completely absorbed by the gel (about 10 minutes). Subsequently, the mixture is homogenized as again while tilting with an ULTRA-TURRAX® T 50 at 6000 rpm for one minute. In this way, a storage-stable, creamy, transparent, translucent or opaque gel with a very smooth consistency is obtained, which is suitable for use in cosmetic products. 
     Method B: 
     A 2000 mL glass reaction vessel is equipped with a condenser having a connected nitrogen inlet, heating mantle, anchor stirrer and temperature regulator. Prior to commencement of the reaction, the reaction vessel is purged with nitrogen for 5 min. The diluent, the Si—H-containing crosslinker(s) for process step H1 and the polyoxyethylated allyl alcohol are added. Subsequently, 5 ppm of hydrosilylation catalyst are added and the reaction mixture is heated to 95° C. at a stirrer speed of about 200 rpm for 1 h. Then the optional Si—H-containing crosslinker for process step H2 and then the unsaturated organopolysiloxane resin are added and the mixture is stirred until the resin has dissolved completely. 5 ppm of hydrosilylation catalyst are added and the reaction mixture is stirred at 95° C. at a stirrer speed of about 200 rpm for 2.5 hours. Subsequently, the heating mantle is removed and the mixture is cooled to room temperature at reduced stirrer speed (about 50 rpm) and catalyst poison is added. The gel obtained is homogenized while tilting with an ULTRA-TURRAX® T 50 at 6000 rpm for two minutes. In this way, a storage-stable, creamy, transparent, translucent or opaque gel with a very smooth consistency is obtained, which is suitable for use in cosmetic products. 
     Analytical Methods: 
     The viscosities of the organopolysiloxane gels were determined in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3219 at a shear rate of 1/s and 25° C. 
     The viscosity of the organopolysiloxanes, such as Si—H-containing crosslinker, organopolysiloxane resins and polydimethylsiloxanes, was determined in accordance with DIN 53019 in the linear range at 25° C. 
     The iodine number was determined in accordance with DIN 53241-1 by the method according to Wijs. 
     Gel permeation chromatography to determine the weight-average molecular weight Mw was conducted in accordance with ISO 16014-1 and ISO 16014-3.

     Examples 1-5 are examples of inventive gels where a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups is used in combination with a further crosslinker having a higher content of Si—H groups. The diluent chosen was nonvolatile linear polydimethylsiloxane (5 mm 2 /s at 25° C.). Storage-stable, creamy gels are obtained, which are suitable for use in cosmetic formulations and can absorb significant amounts of hydrophilic liquid. Comparative examples C1 and C2 show gels in the same diluent as used in examples 1-5. However, comparative example C1 contains exclusively a crosslinker having a very high content of Si—H groups, as disclosed in EP 1 132 430 A1. Comparative example C2 contains a crosslinker having a very high content of Si-bonded hydrogen in combination with 20% by weight of a lower-functionality crosslinker. In both cases, soft gels which are not storage-stable and separate into two phases are obtained. Comparative example C3 uses exclusively a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups and was additionally produced without the compound (1b) of the invention, i.e. without a polyoxyethylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol. Such gels are disclosed in WO 2013/156390 A1. Although the gel has a very silky skinfeel, it cannot absorb either water or glycerol, as shown by comparative examples C10 (table 5) and C12 (table 7). Comparative examples C4 and C5, analogously to C3, use exclusively a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups, but were produced using a polyoxyethylated allyl alcohol. A gel which feels undesirably oily and is unsuitable for use in cosmetic products is formed.

     Examples 6-8 are examples of gels where a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups is used, in combination with a further crosslinker having a higher content of Si—H groups. The diluent chosen was volatile linear polydimethylsiloxane (2 mm 2 /s at 25° C.). Storage-stable, creamy gels are obtained, which are suitable for use in cosmetic formulations and can absorb significant amounts of hydrophilic liquid. 
     Comparative examples C6 and C7 show gels in the same diluent as was used in examples 6-8. However, comparative example C6 contains exclusively a crosslinker having a very high content of Si—H groups, as disclosed in EP 1 132 430 A1. Comparative example C7 contains a crosslinker having a very high content of Si-bonded hydrogen in combination with 20% by weight of a lower-functionality crosslinker. In both cases, a low-viscosity, flowing gel having an oily feel is obtained, which is unsuitable for the applications described. Both gels lack storage-stability and separate into two phases. Comparative example C8 was produced exclusively with a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups and additionally without the compound (1b) of the invention, i.e. without a polyoxyethylated, terminally unsaturated alcohol. Such gels are disclosed in WO 2013/156390 A1. The gel is creamy, storage-stable and transparent and has a very silky skinfeel, but cannot absorb either water or glycerol, as shown by comparative examples C11 (table 6) and C13 (table 8). 
     Comparative example C9 was produced analogously to C8 exclusively with a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups, but using a polyoxyethylated allyl alcohol. A gel which has a markedly oily feel and is unsuitable for use in cosmetic products is formed.

     Examples 12-16 and Comparative Example C10-C11: Water-Containing Mixtures 
     The inventive organopolysiloxane gels according to examples 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7, and the gels from comparative examples C3 and C8, were used to produce water-containing mixtures. For this purpose, variable amounts of water were added to the gels. The water was introduced into the gel in portions by shearing with an Ultra-Turrax® mixer at 1000 rpm and room temperature. The compositions and results are listed in tables 5 and 6. 
     Examples 12 to 16 show homogeneous, stable, creamy, white mixtures of organopolysiloxane gel of the invention and water. The creamy organopolysiloxane gels from comparative examples C3 and C8 were produced without the compound (1b) of the invention, i.e. without using a polyoxyethylated allyl alcohol. They do not absorb any water and separate into two phases, a clear water phase and a clear gel phase (comparative examples C10 and C11).

     Examples 17-20 and Comparative Examples C12 and C13: Glycerol-Containing Mixtures 
     The inventive organopolysiloxane gels according to examples 1, 3, 4 and 7 and the gels from comparative examples C3 and C8 were used to produce glycerol-containing mixtures. For this purpose, variable amounts of glycerol were added to the gels. The glycerol was introduced into the gel in portions by shearing with an Ultra-Turrax® mixer at 1000 rpm and room temperature. The compositions and results are listed in tables 7 and 8. 
     Examples 17-20 show monophasic, homogenous, stable, creamy, white mixtures of organopolysiloxane gel of the invention and glycerol. Comparative examples C3 and C8 are creamy organopolysiloxane gels which have been produced without the compound (1b) of the invention, i.e. without use of a polyoxyethylated allyl alcohol. They do not mix with glycerol and they separate into two clear phases (comparative examples C12 and C13).

     Example 21: Hair Mask Conditioner 
     A hair mask conditioner was produced using example 3 according to the following method (parts hereinafter are understood to mean parts by weight): 
     To an initial charge of water are added 1.5 parts of hydroxyethyl cellulose while stirring. Subsequently, 1 part of PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is dissolved and 2 parts of example 3 added. This mixture is heated up to 75° C. During the heating, 1.5 parts of Cetyl Alcohol, 3 parts of Stearyl Alcohol, 1 part of Stearamidopropyldimethylamine, 3 parts of Behentrimonium Chloride, 2 parts of Glycerin and 1 part of  Simmondsia Chinensis  (Jojoba) Seed Oil are added. The mixture is stirred until 75° C. is attained and the ingredients are in dissolved form. Then the mixture is cooled. At 40° C., 0.2 parts of Citric Acid, 1 part of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, 0.1 part of  Vitis Vinifera  (Grape) Seed Oil and 0.1 part of Panthenol are added. Subsequently, the mixture is preserved with 0.1 part of Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone. The formulation is homogenized with stirring for 5 minutes.

     Example 23: Nourishing Night Cream 
     A nourishing night cream was produced using example 3 by the following method: 
     Phases A and B were weighed out separately and heated to 75° C. Phase A was added to phase B and homogenized with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 15,000 revolutions per minute for 10 minutes. 
     The emulsion was brought to room temperature while stirring with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm. In the course of this, after the temperature went below 40° C., the substances of phase C were added and stirred in. 
     As the last component, example 3 was first stirred into the emulsion with a spatula. Thereafter, the mixture was homogenized again with the Ultra Turrax, 3 minutes at 11,000 revolutions per minute.

     Example 24: Satin Liquid Foundation SPF 10 
     A satin liquid foundation SPF 10 was produced using example 3 by the following method: 
     The oils of phase A are weighed out and stirred. The resin is stirred in with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm until it has dissolved. The materials of phase B are weighed into phase A and heated up to 75° C. while stirring. The water phase D is heated to 75° C. while stirring. The pigments and components of phase C are mixed with a spatula and then added to phase D while stirring. The mixture is kept at 75° C. 
     In a large beaker, phase C+D is homogenized with phase A+B at 75° C. with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 15,000 revolutions per minute for 10 minutes. In the course of this, the homogeneous distribution of the pigments is ensured. 
     The emulsion was brought to room temperature while stirring with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm. In the course of this, after the temperature went below 40° C., the materials of phase E were added and stirred in. 
     As the last component, example 3 was first stirred into the emulsion with a spatula. Thereafter, the mixture is homogenized again with the Ultra Turrax, 3 minutes at 11,000 revolutions per minute.

     Example 25: Anhydrous Sun Gel SPF 20 
     An anhydrous Sun gel SPF 20 formulation was produced using example 3 by the following method: 
     Phase A is stirred with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm for 10 minutes and heated to 75° C. until all the components have melted. Phase B is homogenized with phase A while stirring with a dissolver at 2000 revolutions per minute for 15 minutes. 
     The formulation was cooled down to room temperature while stirring with a dissolver. In the course of this, after the temperature went below 40° C., the materials of phase C were added and stirred in at 1000 revolutions per minute.

     Example 26: Tropical Summer Butter 
     A tropical summer butter was produced using example 3 by the following method: 
     To prepare phase A, water and propanediol were mixed in a large beaker. Thereafter, xanthan gum was added gradually while stirring with a magnetic stirrer and the mixture was heated to 80-85° C. The constituents of phase B were mixed in a beaker with a magnetic stirrer and heated to 80-85° C. Phase B was added gradually to phase A and homogenized with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes. 
     The formulation was cooled down to room temperature while stirring slowly with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm. In the course of this, after the temperature went below 40° C., the materials of phase C were added successively. Example 3 was added as the last component. Thereafter, the mixture was homogenized with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 11,000 rpm for 3 minutes.

     Example 27: BB Cream 
     A BB cream was produced using example 3 by the following method: 
     The oily constituents of phase A were mixed with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm. Then, first of all, BELSIL® TMS 803 was added and stirring was continued until the solution was complete. Subsequently, the residual components of phase A were added. Thereafter, the constituents of phase B were added and the mixture was heated to 75° C. The constituents of phase C were mixed separately, heated to 75° C. and added gradually to phase AB. Thereafter, the mixture is homogenized with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic 13 at 15,000 rpm. The mixture is cooled to room temperature while stirring with a magnetic stirrer at 350 rpm. In the course of this, when the temperature went below 40° C., the materials of phase D were added successively. Example 3 was added as the last component. Thereafter, the mixture was homogenized with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 11,000 rpm for 3 minutes.

     Examples 28-32 and Comparative Example C14: Skincare Lotions Containing Examples 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8, and Comparative Example C9 
     Various skincare lotions were produced using example 2, 3, 5, 6 or 8, or comparative example C9 by the following method: 
     Phase A is heated to 75° C. while stirring. Phase B is heated to 50° C. while stirring. Xanthan gum is allowed to run gradually into phase B. Thereafter, phase B is stirred rigorously until the phase is homogeneous and heated further to 75° C. Phase A is added gradually to phase B, while homogenization is effected with an Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 13 rpm. The emulsion is cooled down to room temperature and the ingredients of phase C are stirred in. The elastomer gel of phase C is incorporated into the finished mixture with the Ultra Turrax T 25 basic at 11,000 rpm for 3 minutes.

     Organopolysiloxane gels bring about sensory advantages in cosmetic applications by improving the distributability of the product on the skin and imparting a silky smooth feel to the product. A particularly advantageous viscosity for this purpose has been found to be in the range of 75 000-120 000 mPa*s at 25° C. The sensory properties were assessed by a trained group of 5 subjects. 
     Example 40: Sensory Assessment 
     The panelists applied 0.05 g in each case of the product to the cleaned lower arm over a circular area of 20 cm 2 , and the organopolysiloxane gels or the skincare lotions produced therefrom were compared with respect to their distributability relative to one another. The application was effected with the index finger or middle finger and a speed of rotation of two revolutions per second. A total of 30 revolutions were conducted. After a wait time of 60 seconds, the residues of the organopolysiloxane gels were compared according to various criteria, for example silkiness, oiliness, overall impression, relative to one another. 
     For reasons of comparability, only organopolysiloxane gels or the skincare lotions produced therefrom that contain the same diluent were compared with one another. 
     In the examination of the noninventive organopolysiloxane gels from comparative examples C1, C2, C6 and C7, it was found that these materials cannot undergo the test in a regular manner since no firm gels had formed and the material runs of its own accord after application to the skin because of its unsuitable flowing nature. These organopolysiloxane gels were produced using a crosslinker having a very high content of Si—H groups or using a mixture of a crosslinker having a very high content of Si-bonded hydrogen in combination with 20% by weight of a lower-functionality crosslinker. It was therefore not possible to assess the comparative examples in detail in accordance with the abovementioned criteria. In general, it was found that comparative examples C1, C2, C6 and C7, in contrast to the gels of the invention, did not leave a matt silky film, but left an oily shiny layer which was not assessed as silky by any of the panelists. 
     Sensory Assessment of Organopolysiloxane Gels 6 and 8 and Comparative Example C9 Comprising Nonvolatile Linear Polydimethylsiloxane (5 mm 2 /s at 25° C.) as Diluent 
     The results of the sensory comparative tests are shown in tables 17 to 20. 
     The organopolysiloxane gels of the invention from examples 6 and 8, in direct comparison, were both assessed as having very good distributability and both exhibit a very silky skinfeel. Example 8 was rated as somewhat better in terms of distributability than example 6 (table 17).

     Example 6 was assessed in direct comparison with comparative example C9. C9 was produced with exclusive use of a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups. Both organopolysiloxane gels were described as having very good distributability. However, example 6 was described unanimously by the testers as “silky”, while comparative example C9 has been described unanimously by all the testers as “oily” (table 18).

     After the direct comparison of the pure organopolysiloxane gels, the test was repeated with the skincare lotions produced using the organopolysiloxane gels. The skincare lotion from example 31 contains the inventive organopolysiloxane gel from example 6, the skincare lotion from example 32 contains the inventive organopolysiloxane gel from example 8, and the skincare lotion from comparative example C14 contains the noninventive organopolysiloxane gel from comparative example C9. 
     It is found that the results for the pure gels can be reproduced very well in the skincare lotions produced therefrom: 
     The skincare lotions from examples 31 and 32, in direct comparison, were both assessed as having very good distributability and both exhibit a very silky skinfeel. Example 32 was described as being somewhat better in both features than example 31 (table 19).

     Example 32 was assessed in direct comparison with comparative example C14. Both skincare lotions were described as having very good distributability. However, while example 32 has been described unanimously by the testers as “silky”, comparative example C14 was described by the majority of the testers as “oily” (table 20).

     Sensory Assessment of the Organopolysiloxane Gels Comprising Volatile Linear Polydimethylsiloxane (2 mm 2 /s at 25° C.) as Diluent 
     As described above, the noninventive organopolysiloxane gels from comparative examples C1 and C2 were not included in this test because of the unsuitable flowing consistency. Comparative examples C4 and C5 which, analogously to C9, have been produced with exclusive use of a crosslinker having a very low content of Si—H groups were likewise not assessed in detail. The skinfeel of comparative examples C4 and C5 is similar to that of comparative example C9 and was assessed unanimously by all testers as “oily” and hence unsuitable. 
     In this comparative study, the panelists compared the organopolysiloxane gels or the skincare lotions produced therefrom relative to one another again with regard to their distributability. After waiting for 60 seconds, the assessment this time was not of the individual parameters (silkiness, oiliness) as such, and the testers were instead to assess the sensory properties on the basis of their personal preferences, i.e. they were to name their personal favorites. 
     The two inventive organopolysiloxane gels from example 2 and example 5 were both described as having very good distributability. The skinfeel of both organopolysiloxane gels was assessed as very good and silky. In terms of personal preferences, 3 of 5 testers chose example 5.

     The testers then assessed various skincare lotions which have been produced using inventive organopolysiloxane gels. The skincare lotion from example 28 contains the inventive organopolysiloxane gel from example 2, the skincare lotion from example 29 contains the inventive organopolysiloxane gel from example 3, and the skincare lotion from example 30 contains the inventive organopolysiloxane gel from example 5. 
     In the comparison of examples 28 and 29, both were assessed as having very good distributability, example 29 having been described as being somewhat better in terms of distributability. The skinfeel of both skincare lotions was assessed as very good and silky. In terms of personal preference, 3 of 5 testers chose example 29.
