  • Patent number: 7794741
    Abstract: A personal care composition is provided having a fragrance which incorporates limonene, gamma terpinene, ethylene brassylate or combinations thereof in conjunction with a quaternary ammonium salt. The salt has a structure AB, wherein A is a cationic charge component, B is an anionic charge component, and A has one quaternized nitrogen atom, at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight no higher than about 250.

  • Patent number: 7780954
    Abstract: A cosmetic composition for sunless tanning or imparting glow to skin is herein described. The composition includes from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of a tanning agent and from 0.1 to 20% by weight of a crosslinked cationic copolymer having a monomer unit which is a methacryloylethyl or acryloylethyl tri(C1-C3 alkyl)ammonium salt. The crosslinked cationic copolymer is a color enhancing agent which improves color intensity and avoids streaking of the developing tan/glow.
