Summary:Clear microemulsions are formed spontaneously by combining (i) water; (ii) a volatile siloxane; (iii) a long chain or high molecular weight silicone polyether; and, as an optional ingredient, (iv) a cosurfactant such as a monohydroxy alcohol, an organic diol, an organic triol, an organic tetraol, a silicone diol, a silicone triol, a silicone tetraol, and a nonionic organic surfactant. In an alternate embodiment, a non-volatile siloxane is included as an ingredient, and the silicone polyether is a long chain or high molecular weight silicone polyether, or a short chain or low molecular weight silicone polyether.
