Publication number: 20230092150Abstract: The invention described herein includes a self-neutralizing amino acid-based cationic composition that contains an amino acid-based cationic ester, a nonionic amphiphile, and an anhydrous buffering agent. In an embodiment, the composition, when dispersed or dissolved in an aqueous solvent, provides a resultant solution/dispersion having a pH of greater than about 4. The amino acid-based cationic ester may be a reaction product of (i) an amino acid having a non-polar side chain, and an amine group that has been neutralized with an acid; with (ii) a long chain fatty alcohol. Also included within the scope of the invention are methods of preparing a self-neutralizing amino acid-based cationic composition, such method including combining an amino acid-based cationic ester, a nonionic amphiphile and an anhydrous buffering agent. The resulting composition is in an anhydrous solid form. Formulations containing the amino acid-based cationic ester and/or a composition that includes it, are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Rocco V. Burgo, Mei Chen, Michael J. Fevola, Gary Mosser, Brittany Pease

Patent number: 11229589Abstract: Described herein is an invention that includes a spreadable conditioning composition comprising a blend of: a branched hydrocarbon and an ester having a kinematic viscosity of less than or equal to about 100 centistokes. The composition may be natural, for example, if each of the branched hydrocarbon and the ester are independently vegetable-derived. In addition, the composition may lack ingredients that are derived from a palm oil. In an embodiment, the composition is a blend of hydrogenated farnesene and an esters selected from glyceryl triheptanoate, dicapryl succinate, heptyl undecylenate, and mixtures thereof. The composition exhibits an average spreading velocity of about 4 to about 8. Also disclosed are formulations for use in products of personal care, home/institutional care, industry, pharmaceutical and medical and veterinary care and related methods.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: INOLEX INVESTMENT CORPORATIONInventor: Rocco V.
