NON-AQUEOUS EMULSION OF SILICONE OIL AND STEARINE

摘要

A non-aqueous emulsion comprises a stearine, a silicone, and, optionally, a diluent such as a glyceride, and a silicone emulsifier. The stearine is present in an amount sufficient to provide a non-aqueous emulsion when the components are melted together and mixed until the emulsion is set. The silicone oil is preferably a dimethyl silicone which can be optionally endblocked while the preferred stearine comprises hydrogenated rapeseed stearine or hydrogenated castor stearine. The non-aqueous emulsion can be employed as a lubricant for natural or synthetic fibers. In addition, the non-aqueous emulsion can be employed within a cream or ointment composition with at least one active ingredient.
