  • Cosmetic composition comprising particles of polyisobutylene resin and process for the preparation of same
    Patent number: 5580550
    Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising an emulsion, preferably an aqueous emulsion, including at least one cosmetic resin material, e.g. a hydrocarbon resin such as polyisobutylene, are made by direct emulsification of the resin without a solvent or carrier therefor. The direct emulsification may be achieved by a special mixing regime, with particular emulsifiers. The absence of solvent or carrier for the resin material avoids product thinning and gives several manufacturing and processing advantages.
    Type: Grant

  • Cosmetic treatment of substrates
    Patent number: 5523080
    Abstract: A method for treating hair to impart thereto a conditioning benefit, the method involving applying to the hair an azlactone-functionalised copolymer consisting of vinyl azlactone and methacryloyl polydimethylsiloxane monomers; and allowing the copolymer to chemically bond through nucleophilic reaction of the azlactone onto the hair, the monomers of the copolymer being present in amounts sufficient to achieve both bonding to the hair and imparting conditioning properties.
