Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a particular, generically defined copolymer for stabilization of a peroxidic compound against breakdown. The present invention further relates to a particular embodiment of the copolymer, namely a copolymer comprising repeat units derived from N-vinylpyrrolidone (or from N-vinyl-2-caprolactam) and at least one comonomer which is selected from the group consisting of vinylphosphonic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and combinations of these monomers.

Abstract: Polymers which are suitable for use in cleaning compositions are described. The polymers are comprised of at least three different monomers. The types of monomers and ratios of the monomers in the polymers are further disclosed. Cleaning compositions containing the polymers for treating various surfaces and for use in various applications are also provided.

Abstract: An emulsifier composition containing: (a) from about 0.5 to 90% by weight of an isoalkenyl oligoglycoside; (b) from about 0.5 to 90% by weight of an isoalkenyl fatty alcohol; (c) up to about 10% by weight, water; and (d) optionally, from about 0.1 to 30% by weight of a hydrophilic wax, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

Abstract: A method of bringing about a tightening effect of skin (preferably human skin) comprising applying to the skin a composition comprising an effective amount of a modified soy protein is described. The soy proteins of the instant invention include soy proteins modified by treatment with a reducing agent and subsequently reacted with a carboxylic acid anhydride; soy proteins modified by treatment with a reducing agent, reacted with a carboxylic acid anhydride and subsequently oxidized; soy proteins modified by reaction with a hydroxy alkyl acrylate; soy proteins modified with ionic monomers such as epoxide, acrylate, and chlorohydrin; and soy proteins modified by reaction with an alkyl acrylimidoglycolate.

Abstract: Alkyl and/or alkenyl glycerol carbamate prepared by reacting a carbonate selected from the group consisting of glycerol carbonate, diglycerol carbonate, polyglycerol carbonate and mixtures thereof, with an amine of the general formula (I):
