  • Patent number: 8747822
    Abstract: The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon fatty alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by water soluble diols, resulting in polymers with improved water solubility. These polymers are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel delivered from aqueous solution or emulsions.

  • Patent number: 8377457
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric glyceryl esters that have two different molecular weight ester chains, one solid and one liquid, which when combined into a single molecule make a polymer that is solid, and crosslinked by dimer acid. These products have very unique skin feel and water proofing properties. These materials find applications as additives to formulations in personal care products where there is a desire to have a structured film (provided by the solid fatty group) and flow properties, (provided by the liquid fatty group). These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding skin feel.

  • Patent number: 8273844
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a kaolin that has the surface modified by reaction with specific silicone compounds. The reaction of these materials result in a kaolin that is (a) less dusty when handled, (b) more flowable, (c) has better dispersibility in oils and in emulsion, resulting in less whitening when applied to skin and improved waterproofing when applied to skin, (d) has better stability in emulsions when dispersed in oils because of the durability of the surface treatment.

  • Patent number: 8273841
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric citrate esters that have unique liquidity, and outstanding feel when applied to the skin. The polymers of the present invention are made by polymerizing citrate mono and di fatty esters with a hydroxypropyl functional silicone to provide a polymer with a very low surface tension and outstanding skin feel.
