Claims 1, 3-5, 7-9, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, and 21- 24 are the only claims remaining in this application. BACKGROUND The appellant's invention relates to a water in volatile silicone emulsion gel composition, a method of making the gel composition, and a method of use of the gel composition for moisturizing skin. The gel composition is made by measuring the refractive index of a water phase and an oil phase, matching the refractive indices thereof, adding the water phase to the oil phase and subjecting the phases to shear mixing. The oil phase comprises a volatile silicone selected from linear and cyclopolysiloxanes of specified formulas, a siloxane polyether, and an emollient. The water phase comprises water and an oxyethylene functional organosilane of a specified formula and optionally a water soluble humectant having a refractive index above 1.35. According to appellant (specification page 2, line 16 through page 3, line 11 and pages 16 and 17, examples I and II), crystal clear gels may be made by matching the respectivePage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
