siloxane

[si′läk‚sān]
(organic chemistry)
R2SiO Any of a family of silica-based polymers in which R is an alkyl group, usually methyl; these polymers exist as oily liquids, greases, rubbers, resins, or plastics. Also known as oxosilane.

Siloxane

 

any of the compounds containing the grouping

Siloxanes are anhydrides of silicon acids. Organosiloxanes (seeORGANOSILICON COMPOUNDS) and polyorganosiloxanes (seeSILICONES) are the most important of these compounds. [23–1092–]

It entails applying a safe and effective amount of a makeup-removing composition that contains 0.1-30% of a non-spherical crosslinked siloxane elastomer having a particle size of from above 10-200 microns; 10-80% of a solvent suitable for topical application to the skin having a solubility parameter of less than or equal to about 9 [(cal./[cm.sup.3]).sup.1/2]; from 0-90% water and; and an emulsifier.
