Cosmetic, household and healthcare compositions containing a hydrocarbyl functional organopolysiloxane are disclosed. The hydrocarbyl functional organopolysiloxane contains at least one siloxy unit of the formula—R 2 OCH 2 CH 2 OH, where R 2 is a divalent hydrocarbon group containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms. The inclusion of the hydrocarbyl functional organopolysiloxane results in personal, medical and household care compositions with improved performance and/or stability. |
