1. A cosmetic composition comprising an uncured silicone based polymer; and at least one cosmetic ingredient, optionally in a cosmetically acceptable medium;
wherein the uncured silicone based polymer is linear or branched and has the general formula:
(R1O)3-x—Si(R2)x—(Z)d—(O)q—(R32SiO)N—(SiR32—Z)d—Si(R2)y(OR1)3-y
where:
x is 0 or 1;
y is 0, 1, 2, or 3;
N is from 300 to 10,000;
d is 0 or 1, q is 0 or 1, and d+q=1;
R1, R2 and R3 are each independently linear alkyl groups containing 1 to 10 carbons; and
each Z is independently either
(i) a linear or branched alkylene group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms which may be interrupted by one or more linear or branched siloxane groups comprising from 1 to 20 silicon atoms; or
(ii) an organic chain based on polyoxyalkylene based units which may be interrupted by one or more linear or branched siloxane groups comprising from 1 to 20 silicon atoms;
wherein the cosmetic composition is in the form of a shampoo, a cream, a rinse-off conditioner, a leave-in conditioner, or a gel.
