  • Publication number: 20100196304
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of novel silicone polyesters that are prepared by crosslinking an dimethicone copolyol, polyglycerol dimer acid. The nature of the silicone group, 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.

  • Patent number: 7723459
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of polyesters that are lightly crosslinked polyesters made by reacting polysorbate 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.

  • Publication number: 20090246161
    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.

  • Patent number: 7195786
    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.
