  • Antimicrobial quaternary surfactants based upon alkyl polyglycoside
    Patent number: 7084129
    Abstract: The invention relates to a series of polyglycoside derivatives that contain water-soluble cationic groups introduced into the molecule by reaction with the hydroxyl groups present in the starting polyglycoside molecule, with an epoxy cationic material. The materials are multifunctional, providing not only wetting, and conditioning, but also antimicrobial properties, making them ideal for personal care applications.

  • Raspberry amido amines and betaines as a delivery system for natural antioxidants
    Patent number: 7078545
    Abstract: The present invention relates to raspberry seed oil derivatives derived by the reaction of dimethyl amino propyl amine and cold pressed raspberry seed oil. This intermediate is subsequently reacted with sodium monochloroacetic acid to make a raspberry betaine. The choice of cold pressed raspberry 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 raspberry 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.

  • Alkoxylated mono alkyl glyceryl ester phosphobetaine compounds
    Patent number: 6972338
    Abstract: The invention relates to a series of novel alkoxylated mono alkyl glyceryl ester phosphobetaine compounds, which are exceptional surface active agents that provide outstanding foam and are very mild to the hair and skin, in addition because of the presence of the ester linkage these materials are not persistent in the aquatic environment. This lack of persistence in the aquatic environment makes these materials greener and environmentally friendly than other non-ester containing compounds. The compounds, because they contain a pendant ionizable phosphate group and a quaternary amine compound are amphoteric surfactants that is they contain both a positive and negative charge in the same molecule. This combination of properties makes these polymers ideally suited for use in personal care applications.

  • Polyesters having improved water affinity
    Patent number: 6972316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of esters that are water insoluble and hydrophobic. Surprisingly however we have found that by selecting the proper polyester having (a) a dipentaerythritol portion, in which several hydroxyl groups remain unreacted and consequently polar, (b) a polyhydroxystearic acid polyester portion and (c) a mono-fatty acid portion esters that will have an affinity for water are prepared. These esters allow for the incorporation of three times their weight in water into pigmented products, where they improve creaminess, emmoliency, skin feel, humectancy and long wear.
