Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polyesters that are made by the reaction of a diacid with a pre-formed mono-hydroxy, di-hydroxy and optionally a tri-hydroxy ester of polyols selected from pentaerythritol, dipentearythritol trimethylolpropane and mixtures thereof. When reacted in the sequence shown, that is pre-formation of the mono-ester, di-ester and tri-ester, selection of the proper ratio of one to the other and then and only then reacted with the diacid, do these polyesters remain free of a gel and form cosmetically elegant oil phases.

Abstract: The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon fatty alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by water soluble diols, resulting in polymers with improved water solubility.

Abstract: The current invention is drawn to a series of citrate esters having alkyl groups and a silicone groups esterified onto citric acid. This results an outstanding skin feel, making outstanding waterproofing and emollient properties when applied to skin. A required critical element of the invention is that both the silicone and the alkyl material be mono functional with regard to hydroxyl functionality. If either group has more than mono functionality, they will react with the citric acid (which has three carboxyl groups) to give undesired polymers. The ability to vary the ratio of alkyl to silicone results an ability to alter skin feel and consequently provide the cosmetic formulator with more latitude in choosing ingredients for incorporation into formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of mixed esters of glycerin esters having two distinct alkyl groups present thereon. One is a low melting product, having a melting point of below 70° C. and the other having a melting point of above 90° C. The presence of the two different melting point groups on the glycerin results in a modification of the hardness, spredability and aesthetics of the resulting mixed ester. This ability to alter hardness and skin aesthetics makes the products of the present invention useful in personal care products ranging as additives to pigmented products to minimize syneresis, to stick products alter the hardness, shrinkability and aesthetics of the stick, to pressed powders where they act to modify the compressability of the powders to which they are added as well as the feel achieved when they are applied to the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of dimethicone esters that contain benzyl groups. These esters have a dry feel and are well suited to a variety of uses especially cosmetic uses where they fond use in sunscreen compositions, pigment dispersions, and creams and lotions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric glyceryl esters that have two different molecular weight ester chains, one solid and one liquid, which when combined into a single molecule make a polymer that is solid, and crosslinked by dimer acid. These products have very unique skin feel and water proofing properties. These materials find applications as additives to formulations in personal care products where there is a desire to have a structured film (provided by the solid fatty group) and flow properties, (provided by the liquid fatty group). These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding skin feel.

Abstract: The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon guerbet alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by diols. These polymers have a very low viscosity when one considers the molecular weight, and are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric citrate esters that have unique liquidity, and outstanding feel when applied to the skin. The polymers of the present invention are made by polymerizing citrate mono and di fatty esters with a hydroxypropyl functional silicone to provide a polymer with a very low surface tension and outstanding skin feel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of polymeric compounds having specific quaternized amine based upon a dimer acid reacted with a combination of a monohydroxy functional amine and a specific di-hydroxy functional tertiary alkanolamine, to make an ester tertiary amine, which is a subsequent step is converted to a quaternary compound. Dimer acid is a C-36 diacid having a cyclic structure and reacting it with the two type of amine groups allow for the synthesis of a high molecular weight cationic compound which is extremely substantitive to human skin and are well tolerated by human tissue making them suitable for use preparation of barrier products for personal care applications. These materials are dimethylaminopropyl amine free, which is highly desirable in personal care applications.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a kaolin that has the surface modified by reaction with specific silicone compounds. The reaction of these materials result in a kaolin that is (a) less dusty when handled, (b) more flowable, (c) has better dispersibility in oils and in emulsion, resulting in less whitening when applied to skin and improved waterproofing when applied to skin, (d) has better stability in emulsions when dispersed in oils because of the durability of the surface treatment.

Abstract: The surfactants of this invention are quaternary ammonium compounds based upon 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diol. These surfactants, not only decrease the surface tension of aqueous systems, but by virtue of the cationic nitrogen containing moiety have outstanding substantivity for hair, skin and textile fibers, lacking in the parent non-ionic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the ability of certain unsaturated Guerbet esters to repair damage to the hair and skin. The compounds are oleate esters of Guerbet alcohols. The low viscosity, polarity of the ester group and very low titer point allow the esters of the present invention to spread rapidly and efficiently on the hair and skin, providing an elegant feel and lubricate the surface of the hair or skin repairing damage done to the hair or skin by washing, and allowing for the replacement of the oils from inside the hair or skin.
