Abstract

Personal care products including cosmetics, grooming products, products useful for skin and hair treatment, and the like are described including extended polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes having greater than nine silicon atoms in their three-dimensional cage-like structure. Methods of using and methods of making personal care products including these materials are also described.
