Abstract: The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon guerbet alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by diols. These polymers have a very low viscosity when one considers the molecular weight, and are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel class of Dimer Alkyl Silicone Polymers (DASP) and their use to provide conditioning to skin and hair. By conditioning is meant a elegant smooth skin feel, eliminating dryness and raspiness. It is thought the mechanism of action is related to the fact that the DASP compounds reduce surface tension of personal care products, providing outstanding conditioning and skin feel. The improved conditioning composition based upon a very specific class of dimer alkyl silicone polymers (DASP) that despite their solubility in oil, lower surface tension and improve conditioning of personal care products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of polyglycoside derivatives that are (a) polymeric (that is cross linked with hydroxypropyl linkages) and (b) contain additional functional groups including alkoxy, sulfate, sulfonate, quaternary and phosphate groups, and (c) sugars to increase water solubility and provide outstanding foaming agents and detergents that are naturally derived and readily biodegradable.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of vinyl ether based silicone polymers and their use in personal care applications. They are prepared by the hydrosilylation reaction of a vinyl ether and a silanic hydrogen compound. The compounds find use in personal care applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of polyesters that have dimethicone copolyol and polysorbate units linked by the reaction of their hydroxyl groups into a polyester by the esterification reaction with succinic anhydride. The polymers and a contribute softness, lubricity and antistatic properties when applied to hair, skin, textile fiber and paper.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the extraction of actives from botanical materials using a series of silicone compounds having different partition coefficients. The botanical extracts are used in a wide range of applications, including in dermatocosmetic products. The selection of silicone-based products over solvents heretofore used allows for more efficient as well as more specific extraction of desired active-containing fractions from the plant material in a carrier that not only is more skin substantive but also enhances the retention of the dermatocosmetically-active constituents from botanical materials on the skin.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multifunctional organo-silicone compound and the use of the that compound in personal care and other applications. These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding micro emulsions and provide outstanding skin feel.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of alkyl quaternium silicone compounds having both alkyl groups and fatty quaternary nitrogen groups attached in one molecule, and the intermediates formed during the production thereof, that are suitable for use in personal care and other applications. These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding micro-emulsions and provide outstanding hair conditioning.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of polymeric compounds having specific highly crosslinked cationic or amphoteric structure. These products are produced without free radical monomers ands are based upon an alkyl diamine which has been reacted to produce a di-tertiary amine compound. The diamine has alkyl groups present the contribute hydrophobicity to the molecule and once crosslinked provide outstanding benefits vis-à-vis conditioning and softening to the hair and skin. The presence of the two amine groups and selection of the proper alkyl group allows for the synthesis of a high molecular weight cationic compound which is extremely substantitive to human skin and are well tolerated by human tissue making them suitable for use preparation of barrier products for personal care applications.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a process for providing emolliency to the skin using a series so called “spider esters”. These esters are derived from poly-hydroxy functional compounds sequentially reacted with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, followed by the reaction of the alkoxylate with fatty acid. The resulting products are called spider esters because they resemble the spider, wherein appendages are alkoxylated esters. The restrictions this orientation imposes on rotation allows for the preparation of polar esters that have little or no water solubility, and provide both moisturization to the skin and emolliency by reducing transepidermal water loss.
