A flavor, perfume, coolant or antimicrobial composition comprising a dimethicone copolyol selected from alkyl- and alkoxy-dimethicone copolyols having formula (I), wherein: X is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy and acyl groups having from about 1 to about 16 carbon atoms, Y is selected from alkyl and alkoxy groups having from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, n is from about 0 to about 200, m is from about 1 to about 40, q is from about 1 to about 100, the molecular weight of the residue (C2H4O-)x(C3H6O-)yX is from about 50 to about 2000, and x and y are such that the weight ratio of oxyethylene:oxypropylene is from about 100:0 to about 0:100. The compositions provide improved surface residuality, impact and/or antimicrobial efficacy. |
