Abstract: An alkoxylated (poly)amine polymer prepared from an alkoxylated (poly)amine and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a free radical polymerizable double bond, as well as formulations, such as personal care formulations, including the alkoxylated (poly)amine polymers.

Abstract: A thickening system for personal care formulations including methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose provides efficient thickening power in applications areas such as shampoo and styling gels. In addition to providing thickening, the methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose derived polymers also provide foam stability to shampoos and improved high humidity curl retention to hair gel compositions.

Abstract: Personal care compositions include a hydroxyl functional vegetable oil polyol acrylic graft copolymer and a personal care active ingredient, and methods of use of a hydroxyl functional vegetable oil polyol acrylic graft copolymers in personal care applications. The hydroxyl functional vegetable oil polyol acrylic graft copolymer is obtained from a modified epoxidized vegetable oil polymerized in the presence of a ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
