Abstract
The present invention relates to improved and novel silicone gel compositions comprising at least one low molecular weight volatile organosilicone fluid and at least one elastomer-like silicone composition as matrix. The improved silicone gels of the invention can readily and easily be spread on the skin and possess a desirable dull appearance during application. The silicone films which result after the gel has remained on the skin about 15 to 20 minutes after application, are smooth, slippery, non-tacky and non-shiny with a low detectable residue thereof. Silicone gels applied in alkylsiloxanes exhibit significant improvements over those applied in permethylcyclosiloxanes or in other known media or by known methods.
