Abstract: The present invention is directed to the delivery of a variety of topically active materials from a class of compounds called spider esters, which are the topic of U.S. Pat. No. 7,437,707 incorporated herein by reference. According to this first aspect of the present invention, active ingredients are delivered more efficaciously to, and, where desired, through the skin (i.e., localized subdermal penetration). By “delivered more efficaciously” is meant a cream, lotion, gel or serum that is contacted with the skin such that the active ingredient(s) are delivered in a manner that has (i) the same or similar therapeutic effect but at lower dosage of the active ingredient(s), and/or (ii) the same or similar desired therapeutic effect over a longer period of time, and/or (iii) a better or improved therapeutic effect in comparison to the same dose of active ingredient(s) in another delivery vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of polymeric compounds having specific quaternized amine based upon a dimer acid reacted with an alkanolamine to make an ester quaternary compound. Dimer acid is a C-36 diacid having a cyclic structure and two amine groups that allow 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. These materials are dimethylaminopropyl amine free, which is highly desirable in personal care applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of cationic 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 cationic, hydroxyl containing compound which only contains one hydroxyl group. These compounds are very well suited to the preparation of products for the personal care market.

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.

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 relates to a series of crosslinked silicone polymers that by virtue of the nature of a polar loving spider ester crosslinker, have unique solubility and film forming properties. These include improved tolerance for oily materials and water-soluble materials. These polymers find use in personal care applications like pigmented products. In the personal care arena, solid products that do not experience syneresis are important.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of novel silicone polyesters which are prepared by crosslinking an fluoro dimethicone copolyol with a dimer acid. The reaction of the fluoro 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 relates to a series of novel polyesters that are prepared by crosslinking polyglycerol and dimer acid. The nature of the water loving polyglycerol group as well as the fact that a C-36 fatty diacid is used in preparation of the products results in unique products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a series of multifunctional polyglycosides derivatives that are made by the polymerized by the reaction of 1,3 dichloro isopropanl and polyglycosides, together with a functionalizing agent that contains a sulfate, sulfonate, quaternary nitrogen, or a phosphate group. The preferred polymers are cross linked having more than one group per molecule. They are made with mild reagents to avoid discoloration and mal odor.

Abstract: A silicone fluid comprising a chromophore-substituted polyorganosiloxane having a formula (2): wherein x is an integer in the range of 60 to 2000; y is an integer in the range of 5 to 100; a ratio x:y is in a range of about 10:1 to about 20:1; and X is a photostabilizing chromophore.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of dimethicone copolyol compounds that contain both methoxy capped groups and hydroxyl groups that are esterified with fatty acids or triglycerides. The resulting products are outstanding emulsifiers and conditioners.
