A paste-like silicone composition includes (A) crosslinked organopolysiloxane and (B) oil in a liquid state at 25? C. The component (A) includes a hydrosilylated reaction product of (A-1) organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to a silicon atom per molecule, and (A-2) alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms and being bonded to a silicon atom per molecule. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane contained in the paste-like silicone composition are each less than 2,000 ppm. It is therefore possible for a stable paste-like silicone composition that has small changes over time such as plasticization return and emit less uncomfortable odor.
