A water-in-volatile silicone emulsion gel having skin moisturizing qualities. The gel is formed by mixing an oil phase with a water phase. The oil phase contains a volatile silicone, a siloxane polyether, and an oil. The water phase contains water, a humectant, and an oxyethylene functional organosilane. Matching of the refractive index of the oil phase and the water phase results in the formation of a crystal clear gel having a viscosity in the range of 5,000 to 150,000 centistokes.

Foam boosting of hair shampoo compositions

Moisturizing compositions for application to human skin which contain oxyethylene functional organosilanes. When used in skin care applications, these compounds exhibit humectant properties. The oxyethylene functional organosilane is a compound having the formula RSiR'.sub.3 in which R is the radical --O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.x R'; R' is an R group or an alkyl radical having one to six carbon atoms; R' is a radical such as hydrogen; an alkyl group of one to six carbon atoms; and an aryl group; and x is an integer having a value of six to thirty.

Moisturizing compositions containing organosilicon compounds

A water-in-oil emulsion and a method of making the emulsion in which the emulsion includes 5 to 50 percent by weight of an organic oil; 44 to 94.5 percent by weight of water; and 0.5 to 5 percent by weight of a water dispersible silicone wax. The emulsion is free of organic emulsifying agents. The water dispersible silicone is a wax derived from the reaction of (i) an .ident.SiH containing siloxane; (ii) a linear C30+ organic alpha-olefin; and (iii) an unsaturated ethylene oxide polymer. Emulsions having a viscosity in about 150,000 centistokes to about 200,000 centistokes are described.
