The present invention relates to a series of crosslinked silicone polymers
that by virtue of the nature of the crosslinker, have unique solubility
and properties. These include improved tolerance for oily materials and
water soluble materials. These polymers find use in personal care
applications like pigmented products. In the personal care arena, solid
products that do not experience syneresis are important. Syneresis is a
condition that exists in a solid product that causes a liquid that is
incompatible to ooze out, which is cosmetically unacceptable.
