Abstract: The invention relates to a series of novel silicone lactylates useful as emulsifiers. This class of compounds are prepared by the reaction of a carboxy functional silicone with the hydroxyl group on lactic acid. The products provide unique surfactant properties, specifically emulsification properties for many oil phases.The compounds are useful for preparation of ultra mild products for use personal care applications for skin, hair care and related applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to antiperspirant compositions comprising an antiperspirant compound, like an astringent salt; a cyclomethicone, a silicone polymer wax derived from beeswax and a fatty alcohol. The antiperspirant compositions are viscous compositions that are highly stable and essentially non-whitening and non-staining to skin and clothing after topical application. These desirable properties are attained by the inclusion of the specific silicone compound derived from beeswax.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of compounds that are made by neutralizing the amino group in an amphoteric surfactant with the carboxyllic acid group in a silicone compound. The complex has (a) lower irritation, (b) better foaming properties and (c) improved substantivity to a variety of substrates.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the application of certain novel esters which are prepared by the reaction of a guerbet alcohol and meadowfoam fatty, methyl ester or triglyceride in personal care applications. These materials are useful as cosmetic ingredients where outstanding liquidity, resistance to oxidation, and minimal taste and odor variation are required. This combination of properties make these compounds excellent candidates as additives to personal care products like skin care oils and lipsticks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain reconstituted wax esters, prepared by the reaction of a silicone polymer and a natural high molecular wax ester selected from the group consisting of beeswax, candelillia, and carnauba wax. These materials are useful in preparation of cosmetic products where their ability to couple organic silicone and other components into a uniform mass is unsurpassed. One major area for the use of these materials is in lipsticks. In addition they are useful in antiperspirants and other formulations which contain both oils and silicones.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the composition of matter and the utilization of certain novel polyoxyalkylene glycol esters which are prepared by the reaction of a guerbet acid and a polyoxylalkylene glycol as emulsifiers.
