Abstract
Abstract The organopolysiloxane composition of the invention is a highly viscous liquid or paste suitable as a base of pasty cosmetic and medicinal preparations such as creams, hair-dressings, ointments and the like. The composition comprises an oligomeric cyclic organopolysiloxane compound, an oleaginous material and a cellulose ether esterified with long-chain alkanoyl groups as the thickening agent. The cosmetic and medicinal preparations prepared from the inventive composition as the base have good spreadability on the human skin and are capable of giving very refreshing feeling to the user or patient without lasting stickiness.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An organopolysiloxane composition which comprises, in admixture: (A) from 90 to 30% by weight of a cyclic organopolysiloxane represented by the general formula ##STR2## in which Me is a methyl group and m and n are each zero or a positive integer not exceeding 8 with the proviso that m+n is a positive integer of 3 to 8; (B) from 5 to 50% by weight of an oleaginous material selected from the group consisting of esters of a saturated fatty acid having 8 to 20 carbon atoms in a molecule and a saturated aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 20 carbon atoms in a molecule, animal oils, vegetable oils, squalane and petrolatum; and (C) from 2 to 30% by weight of a cellulose ether having ester-forming substituent groups derived from a saturated fatty acid having 10 to 20 carbon atoms in a molecule, the total amount of the components (A), (B) and (C) being taken as 100% by weight.
