Abstract: The present disclosure provides polyester elastomers, compositions, and methods of preparing such elastomers and compositions. The polyester elastomers in the present disclosure are prepared by reacting at least one activated polycarboxylic acid with at least one polyol. The crosslinked polyester elastomer compositions can be formulated into various personal care formulations.

Abstract: The present disclosures are directed to compositions comprising a polymer having branched silicone substituted by at least one alkylcarboxy group in a free or salt form and cross-linked with an alkyl functional cross-linker, which has the benefits of compatibility with hydrophilic ingredients and particulates in personal care components and the resultant personal care applications.

Abstract: A process for producing a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive is shown and described herein. The process comprises reacting a MQ silicone resin with a polydiorganosiloxane in the absence of a solvent. The MQ silicone resin is a solid, solventless MQ resin. The reaction may be conducted in the presence of a catalyst, a chain extension reagent, or a combination thereof, and the resulting pressure sensitive adhesive can be dissolved in a solvent and the solids content adjusted. The present method provides a manner to provide a cleaner adhesive material that is free of unwanted materials such as aromatic solvents and also substantially free of cyclic siloxane impurities.

Abstract: A one-component thermal gel composition comprising a crosslinked silicone gel, a hydrolyzable siloxane, a thermal conductivity enhancing agent, and optionally one or more additives is described.
