Abstract: The present invention disclosed herein relates to a process for minimizing the transfer of lipstick from lips. The process for imparting transfer resistance involves a solvating a polymer in volatile solvent and applying to the lips. The application of the polymer solution can be incorporated as a topcoat over a commercial lip product. The polymer creates a hydrophobic film that prevents transfer of the lipstick underneath the film and prevents wash off as a result from contact with water.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of lactic acid ester polymers that are effective in making uniform films. In addition to their film forming ability, these lactic acid polyesters provide unique solubility and esthetics in cosmetic formulations, they are far more hydrophobic than other citrate ester polymers previously disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of mixed polyglyceryl polyester quats that provide multifunctional benefit in personal care applications, including but not limited to (1) conditioning, (2) antistatic properties, (3) bacteriostatic properties and (4) exceptional mildness to skin and eyes. The products are made by the reaction reacting some on the many hydroxyl groups present on polyglycerin with (1) with fatty acids, then (2) diacids then reacted with epoxy cationic compounds to make film forming cationic polymers that are bacteriostatic and of interest in inhibiting biofilm formation on environmental surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a series of polymers containing end groups that are absorb ultraviolet (UV) light. The invention is also to the use of such compounds in the cosmetic, toiletry and personal care areas. These polymers can be utilized to produce films and provide solvent properties for the formulation of for ultra-violet absorbing formulations (like sunscreens) and provide outstanding dispensability and anti-agglomeration properties for inorganic sunscreens containing ZnO and TiO2. The ability to provide uniform non agglomerating sun care formulations results in formulations with increase SPF values and improved “water-resistant” properties in cosmetic formulation. The compounds of the present invention by themselves do not have ultra violet absorption at the particular wavelength that contributes to sun protection and consequently are not themselves sunscreens.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a specific class on pigment reactive silicone polymers that contain both higher alkyl groups and reactive trialkoxy silanes present in the backbone of a specific silicone polymer. By carefully selecting the proper reactive silicone polymer and treating the pigment with said polymer a surprisingly stable and efficient coating is applied the pigment, most importantly ZnO and TiO2 as to render photo stability and alter solubility of the pigment in a variety of solvents.

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: Foaming formulations including silicone polyesters are disclosed. These foaming formulations are useful as cleansing formulations such as used in liquid hand cleansers and wet wipes. The foaming formulations provide improved aesthetic properties and foaming appearance, while maintaining high antimicrobial capacity.
