Abstract: Compositions are disclosed which consist of appropriate quantities and types of glyceryl monostearate dissolved into appropriate quantities and types of vitamin E. Appropriate mixtures or solutions of glyceryl monostearate and vitamine E resemble Vaseline (petrolatum) and can be used as a substitute for Vaseline in all its areas of use. The result is hardened vitamin E (defined as a solution that contains over 50% vitamin E). The remainder of the solution contains glyeryl monostearate.A third compound such as jojoba oil may be added to the above compositions. Other types of vegetable, or seed oils have been considered as an additive to the above compositions, but are not strongly recommended because of the dangers that are associated with rancid oils. Jojoba oil is the only oil that is compatible with the above solution and resistant to oxidation. Vegetable and seed oils are compatible but they also turn rancid.

Abstract: A composition and process for producing pigmentation in hair and skin is disclosed which employs non-mutagenic compounds to duplicate naturally occurring biosynthetic colors. The composition for imparting golden coloration comprises as active ingredients a solution of a tyrosine derivative having a side chain with a substituted amine group in admixture with certain compounds having a reactive nitrogen moiety, and is topically applied in the presence of an oxidant. The composition for imparting a dark coloration comprises as active ingredients s solution of tyrosine derivative having a side chain free for indole formation in admixture with certain compounds having a reactive nitrogen moiety, and is topically applied in the presence of an oxidant. Mixtures of the two compositions may be applied to impart proportionate intermediate colors.

Abstract: Water-soluble keratin hydrolyzate having at least two mercapto groups in one molecule and having an average molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000, suitable for cosmetic application to the hair, particularly as hair fixatives. The hydrolyzate is prepared by reducing keratin in an aqueous solution of a reducing agent under alkaline conditions and subjecting the resulting reduction product to enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract: Aromatic esters of carbamic acid derivatives, e.g., p-chlorophenyl-N-methyl carbamate, are prepared by reaction of the corresponding aromatic alcohol, e.g., p-chlorophenol, and monoisocyanate, e.g., methyl isocyanate, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a combination of a 4-aminopyridine catalyst, e.g., 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and pyridine or methyl substituted pyridines. The product is substantially pure, having less than 0.80 weight percent allophanate ester by-product, e.g., p-chlorophenyl-N,N'-dimethyl allophanate, and less than 0.50 weight percent unreacted aromatic alcohol, e.g., p-chlorophenol. The reaction is readily controlled and characterized by the substantial absence of reflux. The product can be retained in the liquid state at reaction temperature for extended periods of time without significantly increasing the level of allophanate ester by-product.

Abstract: This invention relates to improved cosmetic compositions. It has been found that cosmetic compositions can be improved by adding to the formula a non-saponifiable fraction of an animal or vegetable oil. An animal or vegetable oil may also be present in the cosmetic composition, in which case it is preferably present in an amount below the conventional quantity and the non-saponifiable fraction is present in an amount at least equal to the amount of non-saponifiable material which would be extracted from the omitted portion of the animal or vegetable oil.
