The reaction of the alkyl dimethicone copolyol and dimer acid results in a polyester having affinity to oils and that is highly lubricious on hair, skin and textile fiber.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of polyesters that are lightly crosslinked polyesters made by reacting alkoxyglyceryl units (linked by the reaction of their hydroxyl groups) to the carboxyl group of dimer acid. As will become clear, lightly crosslinked as used herein relates to reactions in which there is an excess of hydroxyl groups on a molar basis to carboxylic groups on the dimer acid. The polymers and a contribute softness, lubricity and antistatic properties when applied to hair, skin, textile fiber and paper.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of polyesters that are lightly crosslinked polyesters made by reacting polysorbate units (linked by the reaction of their hydroxyl groups) to the carboxyl group of dimer acid. As will become clear, lightly crosslinked as used herein relates to reactions in which there is an excess of hydroxyl groups on a molar basis to carboxylic groups on the dimer acid. The polymers and a contribute softness, lubricity and antistatic properties when applied to hair, skin, textile fiber and paper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of novel silicone polyesters which are prepared by crosslinking a dimethicone copolyol having at least 4 hydroxyl groups with a dimer acid. The ratio of acid groups to hydroxyl groups ranges from 0.7 to 1.4 so that a significant number of groups are reacted and a significant number of crosslink groups are achieved.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a series of polyesters based upon the reaction of dimer acid, dimer alcohol and Guerbet alcohol. The resulting polyester is a high molecular weight product that is well tolerated by the skin and has outstanding emolliency. The Guerbet alcohol, being mono hydroxyl is a capper portion of the polymer, the dimer alcohol is a chain extender having two hydroxyl groups and the dimer acid is a diacid that reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the Guerbet and dimer alcohol to make the polyester.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Cranberry seed oil derivatives derived by the reaction of dimethyl amino propyl amine and cold pressed Cranberry seed oil. This intermediate is subsequently reacted with sodium monochloroacetic acid to make a Cranberry betaine. The choice of cold pressed Cranberry seed oil as a raw material in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention is critical, since it has been found that the cold pressed Cranberry seed oil contains antioxidants, antimicrobial compounds and which when reacted with a DMAPA result in products that deliver said actives to the skin and hair, resulting in protection of the skin and hair from environmental factors such as acid rain, ozone attack and UV degradation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to raspberry seed oil derivatives derived by the reaction of a guerbet alcohol and cold pressed raspberry seed oil. The choice of cold pressed raspberry seed oil as a raw material in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention is critical, since it has been found that the cold pressed raspberry seed oil contains antioxidants, antimicrobial compounds and which when reacted with a guerbet alcohol result in products that deliver said actives to the skin and hair, resulting in protection of the skin and hair from environmental factors such as acid rain, ozone attack and UV degradation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition, for example, a cosmetic care and/or makeup composition for a keratin material, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, i) at least one polyester resulting from esterification of at least one Guerbet capped polyester ii) at least one oil of a molar mass ranging from 650 to 10,000 g/mol, and iii) at least one colorant. The composition may possess cosmetic properties and can, for example, endow the makeup or care product with properties of gloss, smoothness of application and comfort. Further disclosed herein is the use of the at least one polyester and the at least one oil with a molar mass ranging from 650 to 10,000 g/mol in a physiologically acceptable composition as an agent for endowing the composition with properties of slip, gloss, comfort, definition, non-migration, enhanced color intensity and/or enhanced color retention after challenge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the cosmetic use of certain esters, prepared by the reaction of a Guerbet alcohol and lanolin. The result is a cosmetically elegant ester and lanolin alcohol which is a highly functional material in skin care. These compositions provide conditioning effects when applied to the hair and skin.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a series of polyesters based upon the reaction of succinic acid, dimer alcohol and Guerbet alcohol. The resulting polyester is a high molecular weight product that is well tolerated by the skin and has outstanding emolliency. The Guerbet alcohol, being mono hydroxyl is a capper portion of the polymer, the dimer alcohol is a chain extender having two hydroxyl groups and the succinic acid is a diacid that reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the Guerbet and dimer alcohol to make the polyester.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the certain castor polyesters that give high gloss when applied to the skin. Said ester are the reaction of the hydroxyl group of castor oil with less than one equivalent of a fatty acid then in a subsequently step the remainder of an equivalent of a diacid, in this case dimer acid.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polyester compounds made from the reaction of (a) a difunctional hydroxy compound, specifically polyoxyalkylene glycols, (b) a difunctional carboxylic acid, specifically dimer acid and hydrogenated dimer acid, and (c) a capping carboxylic acid, which only contains one acid group. These compounds are very well suited to the preparation of products for the personal care market.
