Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of crosslinked silicone polymers that by virtue of the nature of the crosslinker, have unique solubility and 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. Syneresis is a condition that exists in a solid product that causes a liquid that is incompatible to ooze out, which is cosmetically unacceptable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Cranberry seed oil derivatives derived by the reaction of dimethyl amino propyl amine and cold pressed Cranberry seed oil. This intermediate is subsequently reacted with sodium monochloroacetic acid to make a Cranberry betaine. The choice of cold pressed Cranberry seed oil as a raw material in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention is critical, since it has been found that the cold pressed Cranberry seed oil contains antioxidants, antimicrobial compounds and which when reacted with a DMAPA result in products that deliver said actives to the skin and hair, resulting in protection of the skin and hair from environmental factors such as acid rain, ozone attack and UV degradation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of polymeric compounds having specific quaternized amine based upon a dimer acid reacted with an dimethyl amino propyl amine to make an amido amine, which is subsequently reacted to make a polymeric 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a series of polyglycoside derivatives that contain water-soluble groups introduced into the molecule by reaction with the hydroxyl groups present in the starting polyglycoside molecule. The preferred products have more than one water-soluble group per molecule and are made with mild reagents to avoid discoloration and mal odor. The most preferred products have between 2 and 3 functional groups per molecule. The compounds are alkoxylated alkyl polyglucoside compounds.
