Process of preparing silicone composition, and cosmetic and lustering materials containing the composition.

摘要

A process for preparing a silicone composition is provided, which comprises distilling away an organic solvent from a mixture of (1) a low viscosity silicone oil represented by the general formula, R a SiO (4-a)/Z wherein R's may be the same or different, each being an unsubstituted or substituted, monovalent hydrocarbon residue containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and "a" ranges from 1. 8 to 2. 3 and having a viscosity of 100 centistokes or less at 25 DEG C, with (2) an organosilica sol containing, as a dispersoid, spherical porous trimethylsilylated silica particles having an average particle size of 10 to 100 millimicrons, a specific surface area of 300 m<2>/g or above, a trimethylsilyl group density of 0. 5 to 10 micromol/m<2>, an alkoxy group density of 0. 5 to 10 micromol/m<2>, and a silanol group density of 0. 5 to 5 micromol/m<2>, and homogeneously kneading the resulting mixture under shearing stress. The thus prepared silicone composition has low toxicity, low stimulability and excellent homogeneity, smoothness and extensibility, so it is well suited to be used as base ingredient of cosmetic, medical or lustering materials.
