Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of novel silicone alkoxylated esters which have terminal carboxyl groups that form salt complexes with certain amid containing cationic compounds to form very mild conditioning products suited for personal care applications like shampoos, body wash, hand wash and bath products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a series of novel salt complexes that are made by neutralizing a fatty ammonium compound which is cationic with an anionic compound, producing a salt complex. The compounds of the present invention are water soluble, non-irritating to the eye and skin and are well suited to personal care applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to process for conditioning hair and skin in which the skin has applied to it a polypeptide having between 20 and 60 amino acids in a polypeptide, having cysteine as at least 10% of the amino acids units and proline as at least 5% of the amino acid units.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for conditioning and cleaning hair, which comprises contacting the hair with an effective conditioning amount of a series of novel salt complexes. These complexes provide outstanding conditioning effects to the hair and are very mild to the eye. The complexes are made by neutralizing a fatty ammonium compound that is cationic with an anionic compound, producing a salt complex. Optionally, the complex can be combined with dimethicone copolyol to produce extremely mild products suitable for use in shampoos, body washes, and cleanser. The mildness makes these compounds of particular interest in baby shampoos.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the composition, and application of polyoxyalkylene glycol dicarboxylates, and complexes thereof. The complexes are made by a series of reactions which include reaction of an anhydride with a polyoxyalkylene glycol, then formation of a complex of the poly carboxylate with quaternary compounds. The complexes are useful as softening, anti-tangle, and conditioning agents for use in personal care applications due to their outstanding mildness.

The compounds of the present invention are water soluble, non-irritating to the eye and skin and are well suited to personal care applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of compounds that are made by neutralizing the amino group in an amphoteric surfactant with the carboxylic acid group. The complex has (a) lower irritation, (b) better foaming properties and (c) improved substantivity to a variety of substrates.

Abstract: The present invention deals with novel emulsifiers that have excellent feel on the skin are essentially non-irritating to the eyes and the skin and can be used to make unique silicone in water and water in silicone emulsions. The compounds are esters made by the reaction of sorbitol and carboxy functionalized silicone compounds. The introduction of the silicone portion of the molecule into the compounds of the present invention results in improved emulsification efficiency of silicone oils, improved oxidative stability and improved liquidity of the sorbitan esters as well as an outstanding skin feel of emulsions made with said emulsifiers.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the composition, and application of novel carboxylated polymers. The complexes are made by a series of reactions which include reaction of an anhydride with an allyl alcohol alkoxylate, polymerization of the carboxylated allyl alkoxylate, then formation of a complex of the poly carboxylate with quaternary compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, process for preparation and use of a novel emulsion composition in the personal care industry. The composition when applied to hair provides outstanding lubrication, and delivers amino acids or proteins to the hair fiber. This aides in the manageability of the hair and remediates damage from treatment processes like permanent waving, dying and relaxing of the hair as well as environmental effects upon the hair.
