Three-dimensional silicone elastomers having polyether and highernalkyl functionality in their molecules form networks of crosslinkednlinear siloxanes with polyether and olefin containing repeating units,nand these silicone elastomers can be used as emulsifiers for making 0/0nand three-phase aqueous emulsions. One of the oil phases Is a siliconenoil, while the other oil phase is an organic oil such as mineral oil orncastor oil. These emulsions of two and three mutually insoluble liquidsnare useful in personal and health care applications. |
