This invention is related to a silicone oil emulsion comprising silicon-containing crosslinked particles in silicone oil droplets that are dispersed in water and have an average particle size of 0.1 to 500 μm wherein the silicon-containing crosslinked particles have an average particle size of 0.05 to 100 μm and are provided by the crosslinking of a crosslinkable composition comprising at least (A) a silicon-free organic compound that has at least two aliphatically unsaturated bonds in each molecule, (B) a silicon-containing organic compound that has at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule, and (C) a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst. The inventive silicone oil emulsion is characterized in that the silicone oil is an alkyl-modified silicone oil that has a silicon-bonded alkyl group having at least 4 carbons. This invention is also related to a silicone oil composition as provided by removing the water from this silicone oil emulsion.
