Abstract: The present invention is directed to organo-silicone compound that have alkoxylated allyl alcohol groups of different degree of ethylene oxide and or propylene oxide present on two or more different groups. It is also directed to the use of that compound in personal care and other applications. These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding emulsions including microemulsions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of crosslinked silicone polymers that by virtue of the nature of the crosslinker, have unique film forming and skin feel properties. They are made by the reaction of vinyl silicones and star silanic hydrogen compounds.

Abstract: Novel alkoxylates prepared by the reaction of mild-processed shea butter (MPSB) with ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or mixtures thereof. These compounds are useful as cosmetic and personal care ingredients, allowing for the delivery of highly desirable active ingredients present in MPSB, including natural antioxidants, in a water-soluble form that is substantive to the skin and hair.

Abstract: Novel dimethyl amidopropyl amines prepared by the reaction of dimethyl amidopropyl amine (DMAPA) and shea butter, preferably mild-processed shea butter (MPSB). Materials of the present invention are useful as cosmetic and personal care ingredients, allowing for the delivery of highly desirable active ingredients present in shea butter including natural antioxidants, in a cationic material that is substantive to the skin and hair.

Abstract: Novel esters prepared by the reaction of shea butter, preferably mild-processed shea butter (MPSB), and fatty alcohol. Materials of the present invention are useful as cosmetic and personal care ingredients, allowing for the delivery of highly desirable active ingredients present in shea butter, including natural antioxidants, in an oil-soluble, emollient material that is substantive to the skin and hair.

Abstract: Novel alkanolamides prepared by the reaction of an alkanolamine and shea butter, preferably mild-processed shea butter (MPSB). Materials of the present invention are useful as cosmetic and personal care ingredients; they thicken shampoos and body washes, stabilize foam, and deliver to the hair and skin highly desirable unsaponifiables present in shea butter, including natural antioxidants.

Abstract: The invention relates to gelling agents, and in particular to gellants for low polarity liquids such as hydrocarbons, and the use thereof in commercial products, e.g., personal care products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of novel silicone polyesters which are prepared by crosslinking an alkyl dimethicone copolyol with a dimer acid. The reaction of the alkyl 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 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 chloro hydroxy propyl containing cationic material. The materials are multifunctional, providing not only wetting, and conditioning, but also antimicrobial properties, making them ideal for personal care applications.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel process for sealing, restoring and protecting wood surfaces. The process involves application of a reactive silicone compound in solvent to the surface being treated, the evaporation of solvent which starts a polymerization reaction of a silanic hydrogen containing silicone polymer on and within the surface of the wood. The silanic hydrogen containing silicone, which is delivered to the surface of the wood in a solvent, penetrates the wood surface. The evaporation of the solvent initiates the polymerization. The polymer matrix is built up around and within the wood fiber which the solvent solution has penetrated. The polymer fills the surface of the wood making a clear interlocked elastomeric surface which restores the appearance and provides the desired durability.

Abstract: This invention deals with the production and use of a diacid ester formed from the reaction of the diacid and a guerbet alcohol.
