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 is directed to ester compositions which result from the trans-esterification of a triglyceride having an iodine value of between 85 and 175 mg KOH/gm with a fatty alcohol having a melting point of between 35° and 75° C., followed by cooling and removal of the polar phase which results. Surprisingly, we have found the composition has unique properties when used in cosmetic applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to polymers that are useful in nail polish applications. The specific film forming polyester polymers that are liquids in solvents like butyl acetate, form a uniform film upon application when in a solvent (most commonly butyl acetate), evaporates under atmospheric conditions and at the same time can be removed easily and thoroughly by application of a solvent like acetone. The polymers of the present invention having a silicone portion contained therein provide improved flexibility, tear resistance and superior aesthetics.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of silicone containing 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, but has very unique flow 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 is directed to a series of citrate ester emulsifiers that are effective in making water in oil (regular emulsions) and oil in water (invert emulsions). In addition to being outstanding emulsifiers, these emulsifiers provide unique solubility, liquidity and outstanding feel when applied to the skin, making them highly desirable in cosmetic emulsions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of glycerin based polymers that have been designed to have very specific substitution patterns, herein referred to as regiospecific substitution (RSS). The attachment of terminal mono-functional silicone polymers engineered polyesters of glycerin results in heretofore unrecognized products. The unique properties include lower surface tension, better spreadability and a dry skin feel, all of which cannot be attained without the use of a terminal silicone. Incorporation of silicone into the terminal position requires a very specific synthesis regime to establish the sought after regiospecificity.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a series of polyesters with tunable ascetics and skin conditioning properties for use in cosmetic formulation, specifically sun screening formulations in which the performance is improved by a synergistic effect between the sunscreening actives and the polyester. These novel polyglycerol polyesters are designed to be multidimensional. The physical properties and aesthetics of the current invention can be tuned rapidly by controlling the ratio of fatty groups, as well as the cross-linker used. The resulting polyglycerol polyesters have outstanding aesthetics and physical properties.

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 relates to a novel class of polymeric compounds having specific quaternized amine based upon a dimer acid reacted with an dimethyl amino propyl amine to make an amido amine, which is subsequently reacted to make a polymeric quaternary compound. Dimer acid is a C-36 diacid having a cyclic structure and two amine groups that 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.

Dimer acid is a C-36 diacid having a cyclic structure and two amine groups that 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 discloses novel series of silicone esters, which are useful as antioxidants on skin. The products are produced using for a variety of hydroxyl containing actives such as vitamin A (retinol), vitamin A-2, and vitamin E. Compounds of the invention are prepared by the esterification of (a) a specific silicone methyl ester and (c) a hydroxyl functional active. The esters of the present invention allow for the formulation of personal care products in which the “active” can be formulated into a variety of solvents without the loss of activity.
