Abstract: This invention relates to the use of Hydroxypropyl Bis-Hydroxyethyldimonium Chloride in hair and skin cleansing formulations that is useful in boosting the deposition of hair and skin conditioning agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of sulfonate-functionalized alkyl polyglucosides and other functionalized alkyl polyglucosides surfactants in oral care applications such as toothpaste and mouthwash. These surfactants have desired performance attributes while not displaying the potential to cause oral or gingival irritation neither as a 4% solution, nor as a neat product.

Abstract: Personal malodors due to the chemical or bacterial action occurring on the skin or hair are inhibited by applying formulations containing Soyamidopropyl Ethylmorpholinium Ethosulfate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a citrate-functionalized polyglucoside derivatives, and crosslinked variants thereof, that are made by the reaction of an epichlorohydrin/citric acid ester with an alkyl polyglycoside. These functionalized alkyl polyglucosides are viscosity builders and anti-irritants in personal care cleansing products.

Abstract: A surfactant formulation comprised of: a sulfosuccinate in the range of 7 to 30 percent (active); an alkylpolyglucoside in the range of 5 to 30 percent (active); water in the range of 20 to 80 percent (active); and an optional preservative.

Abstract: Improved liquid antimicrobial solutions useful as preservative additives to personal care preparations, particularly cosmetic formulations and the like, are provided which comprise 1,3-dimethylol-5,5-disubstituted hydantoin, liquid aromatic alcohol, and iodoalkynyl alkyl carbamate. A preferred antimicrobial solution can be prepared by producing the 1,3,dimethylol-5,5-disubstituted hydantoin in situ in the selected liquid aromatic alcohol and then adding to the resulting solution the previously prepared iodoalkynyl alkyl carbamate. The solutions are surprisingly water dispersible and display broad spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness, particularly antifungal effectiveness, at a relatively low usage concentration in a cosmetic medium.
