Example 3

A primer composition is prepared using Citronellol polymer, according to the following table (percent values shown are w/w):

IngredientPurposePrimer
PhenoxyethanolPreservative  0.5%
Citronellol polymerSoothing agent34.50%
Propylene glycolEmollient   45%
Silica dimethyl silylateGellant   20%

The primer composition is prepared heating the propylene glycol to 70-75° C. in a beaker, then slowly adding the silica dimethyl silylate with stirring to form a uniform gel. The Citronellol polymer is then added with stirring, followed by cooling the mixture. The preservative is then added after the mixture has cooled below 40° C. The resulting product is uniform gel with a velvet-like feel after application to the skin. Compared to a similar commercial silicone-based primer, the present primer provides a smoother and more glowy appearance on the skin.
