Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of water soluble polymeric citrate 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, but has very unique flow properties. These materials find applications as additives to aqueous, hydroalcoholic or emulsion 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).

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: This invention relates to a novel class of Dimer Alkyl Silicone Polymers (DASP) and their use to provide conditioning to skin and hair. By conditioning is meant a elegant smooth skin feel, eliminating dryness and raspiness. It is thought the mechanism of action is related to the fact that the DASP compounds reduce surface tension of personal care products, providing outstanding conditioning and skin feel. The improved conditioning composition based upon a very specific class of dimer alkyl silicone polymers (DASP) that despite their solubility in oil, lower surface tension and improve conditioning of personal care products.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an ester that can be used to produce compositions that are soft solids, which comprises an specific solid ester combined with specific liquid esters selected from the group consisting of glyceryl esters, trimethylolpropane esters, and pentaerythritol esters. The compositions containing this ester providing emolliency to the skin by applying the compositions of the present invention. Finally, the invention is also directed to application of sun screen actives, hydroxy acids, antioxidants, flavonoids, tocopherol, vitamins and the like to the skin in gelled form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of polymeric compounds having specific highly crosslinked cationic or amphoteric structure. These products are produced without free radical monomers ands are based upon an alkyl diamine which has been reacted to produce a di-tertiary amine compound. The diamine has alkyl groups present the contribute hydrophobicity to the molecule and once crosslinked provide outstanding benefits vis-à-vis conditioning and softening to the hair and skin. The presence of the two amine groups and selection of the proper alkyl group allows 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.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a process for providing emolliency to the skin using a series so called “spider esters”. These esters are derived from poly-hydroxy functional compounds sequentially reacted with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, followed by the reaction of the alkoxylate with fatty acid. The resulting products are called spider esters because they resemble the spider, wherein appendages are alkoxylated esters. The restrictions this orientation imposes on rotation allows for the preparation of polar esters that have little or no water solubility, and provide both moisturization to the skin and emolliency by reducing transepidermal water loss.

Abstract: The invention discloses a series of glycerin/succinate/alkyl succinate polyesters. These materials are high foaming detergents useful in the formulation of biodegradable, polyoxyalkylene free, cosmetic and personal care products.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel class of Dimer Alkyl Silicone Polymers (DASP) and their use to reduce surface tension of lubrication oil. The improved lubricant composition based upon a very specific class of dimer alkyl silicone polymers (DASP) that despite their solubility in oil lower surface tension and improve lubrication when added at low concentrations to lubricating oils.

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 present invention relates to a series of crosslinked silicone polymers that by virtue of the nature of a polar loving spider ester crosslinker, have unique solubility and film forming properties. These include improved tolerance for oily materials and water-soluble materials. These polymers find use in personal care applications like pigmented products. In the personal care arena, solid products that do not experience syneresis are important.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the delivery of a variety of topically active materials from a class of compounds called spider esters, which are the topic of U.S. Pat. No. 7,437,707 incorporated herein by reference. According to this first aspect of the present invention, active ingredients are delivered more efficaciously to, and, where desired, through the skin (i.e., localized subdermal penetration). By “delivered more efficaciously” is meant a cream, lotion, gel or serum that is contacted with the skin such that the active ingredient(s) are delivered in a manner that has (i) the same or similar therapeutic effect but at lower dosage of the active ingredient(s), and/or (ii) the same or similar desired therapeutic effect over a longer period of time, and/or (iii) a better or improved therapeutic effect in comparison to the same dose of active ingredient(s) in another delivery vehicle.
