The present invention relates to an organopolysiloxane elastomer having a group having a siloxane dendron structure bonded to a silicon atom, and having a crosslinked structure that includes a carbon-silicon bond in the crosslinking portion, and relates to a glycerin derivative-modified organopolysiloxane elastomer having a siloxane dendron structure bonded to a silicon atom and a hydrophilic group bonded to a different silicon atom from the silicon atom, and having a crosslinked structure that includes a carbon-silicon bond in the crosslinking portion. The organopolysiloxane elastomer of the present invention, for example, has affinity with a variety of oil agents, has excellent structuring properties and gelling characteristics, and further retains excellent tactile sensation, particularly a velvety thick smoothness, and moreover imparts an excellent tactile sensation from initial application to after drying without producing any stickiness at all, and furthermore, provides superior cosmetic effects, such as wrinkle concealing effect (masking effect), and the like.
