  • Oil absorbing polymers
    Patent number: 5386003
    Abstract: Water dispersible polyester polymers, polyesteramides polymers and blends of these polymers are dispersed in water and spray dried to form fine powders. In the solid state, these powders can absorb oils and/or diffuse ambient light, thereby resulting in the production of significant reduction in gloss and tack of lipids in cosmetic and personal care products when applied to ordinarily oily skin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 1993
    Date of Patent: January 31, 1995
    Assignee: Eastman Chemical Company
    Inventors: Carol J. Greene, Stephen H. Wu
  • Controlled-release delivery system
    Patent number: 5356634
    Abstract: Provided is a controlled-release system for delivery of bioactive materials such as medicaments, cosmetic ingredients and agrichemicals using cellulose acetate succinate or certain blends of cellulose acetate phthalate polymers as enteric coating materials. Also provided is a method for delivering active ingredients to animals utilizing the controlled-release system of the invention.

  • Water-dispersible polymeric compositions
    Patent number: 5025004
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparing polymeric compositions which are suitable for coating medicaments or for use in cosmetic formulations and the novel compositions prepared therefrom. The process makes stable, colloidal, latex-like dispersions of coating polymers which can be readily dried to form polymeric powder materials. The process makes use of a novel combination of a water-in-oil emulsifier and an oil-in-water emulsifier.
