  • Patent number: 8148483
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to fluoro silicone acrylates that are used in reaction either alone or with other monomers to make polymers that can modify the surface of hair skin or pigment. This makes them ideal for incorporation into pigmented products in personal care applications like make up and lipsticks.

  • Publication number: 20080139765
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to improvements of wear resistant cosmetic compositions. Specifically, this invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing particular copolymers with glass transition temperatures greater than 70° Celsius that demonstrate enhanced wear in combination with a smooth, non-tacky feel. Since most carrier solvents formulated into cosmetics are weak solvents with high boiling points and slow evaporation rates the applied films remain wet and tacky resulting in poor cosmetic performance. The polymers of the present invention overcomes this deficiency due to the high Tg associate with the polymer which yields an apparent faster dry time in the applied coating thus improving the cosmetic's film integrity.

  • Patent number: 6972316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of esters that are water insoluble and hydrophobic. Surprisingly however we have found that by selecting the proper polyester having (a) a dipentaerythritol portion, in which several hydroxyl groups remain unreacted and consequently polar, (b) a polyhydroxystearic acid polyester portion and (c) a mono-fatty acid portion esters that will have an affinity for water are prepared. These esters allow for the incorporation of three times their weight in water into pigmented products, where they improve creaminess, emmoliency, skin feel, humectancy and long wear.

  • Patent number: 6972338
    Abstract: The invention relates to a series of novel alkoxylated mono alkyl glyceryl ester phosphobetaine compounds, which are exceptional surface active agents that provide outstanding foam and are very mild to the hair and skin, in addition because of the presence of the ester linkage these materials are not persistent in the aquatic environment. This lack of persistence in the aquatic environment makes these materials greener and environmentally friendly than other non-ester containing compounds. The compounds, because they contain a pendant ionizable phosphate group and a quaternary amine compound are amphoteric surfactants that is they contain both a positive and negative charge in the same molecule. This combination of properties makes these polymers ideally suited for use in personal care applications.

  • Patent number: 6861498
    Abstract: The present invention relates to specific glyceryl alkoxylated citrate esters and their use in lipsticks. These polymers not only do not have a mal taste, but also have a very pleasant taste. This coupled with their use to prevent syneresis in lipsticks, make these products very desirable in lipstick applications.

  • Patent number: 6756034
    Abstract: The invention is directed toward a process for conditioning hair and skin, using a silicone polyphosphate that has between 6 and 20 phosphate groups in the molecule. The compounds having multi-phosphate groups have been found to be surprisingly effective conditioners when compared to compounds having fewer or no phosphate groups present.

  • Patent number: 6747116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel dimethicone copolyol phosphate ester compounds bearing a fluoro group attached through a hydrophobic ester linkage to silicon. This invention also relates a series of such products having differing amounts of water-soluble groups, silicone soluble groups and fatty soluble groups. By careful selection of the compounds so constructed, very efficient mild conditioning agents may be achieved.
