A dialkyl amidoamine which is the reaction product of a polyamine, a monocarboxylic acid, or a triglyceride or derivative thereof, and optionally an epoxide-containing compound is described. The dialkyl amidoamine may be used as a conditioning agent or anti-frizz agent useful in personal care applications, particularly in the conditioning of hair. The preparation and use of a conditioning agent and an anti-frizz agent comprising the dialkyl amidoamine are also described.

Ingredients for use in personal care compositions

Personal care products exhibiting superior conditioning and/or color fastness can be obtained by use of mixtures of certain phosphate esters and polyquats.

Phosphorous-containing surfactants as polymeric cationic compound deposition aids

The present invention relates to oligoesters and their use for the creation of additives. Oligoester containing additives and/or oligoesters themselves may be used for formulating pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetics or personal care products such as shampoos and conditioners. These oligoesters are particularly useful for the creation of multi-purpose additives that can impart conditioning, long substantivity and/or UV protection. Individual oligoesters and oligoester mixtures are described.

Additives and products including oligoesters

The invention discloses quaternary ante-iso acids useful as additives in personal care products. Various quaternary derivatives of ante-sio acids are described, and examples of their use in personal care composition are presented.

Fatty quat based on ante-iso compounds

The present invention relates to amine functionalized lipophilic compounds and their use in personal care products, particularly those for colored hair.

Amine/amide-functionalized lipophiles

The present invention relates to oligoesters and their use or the creation of additives. Oligoester containing additives and/or oligoesters themselves may be used for formulating pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetics or personal care products such as shampoos and conditioners. These oligoesters are particularly useful for the creation of multi-purpose additives that can impart conditioning, long substantivity and/or UV protection. Individual oligoesters and oligoester mixtures are described.

A personal care or cosmetic product composition that includes from about 0.1% to about 99% of at least one ester of alkoxylated aromatic alcohol and fatty carboxylic acid, and from about 0.1% to 60% of at least one functional ingredient is provided. The functional ingredients in the composition may include active ingredients and additional ingredients. Especially suitable active ingredients are sunscreen active ingredients and antiperspirant active ingredients. Preferred compositions are sunscreen product formulations and antiperspirant products. In one preferred embodiment, the composition further includes at least one cyclomethicone compound present in the amount of from about 1% to 99% by weight of the composition. A method of improving the protection of human or animal skin or hair from radiation and a method of improving the protection of human or animal skin or hair from perspiration are also provided.

Compositions containing esters of aromatic alkoxylated alcohols and fatty carboxylic acids

The present invention relates to a personal care product containing a mixture of at least one personal care ingredient and one diester quaternary ammonium compound with a pH between 4.0 and 10.0 and a viscosity between 100 and 300,000 cps, and the method of making the personal care product diester tertiary amines and quats are also described.

Personal care product containing diester quat

Alkoxylated esters of dicarboxylic or tricarboxylic acids have an anti-irritating activity measured as a reduction in intracellular leakage of sodium fluorescein of 15% or more at 1:50 dilution or 40% or more at 1:100 dilution from a test composition containing 5% of the alkoxylated ester. These alkoxylated esters are useful in cosmetic and personal care products, especially in products such as baby shampoos, hand dishwashing liquids and bubble bath preparations. A method of reducing irritation provides for application of an irritant with the alkoxylated esters to the subject in a personal care or cosmetic product.

Anti-irritants

Esters of alkoxylated aromatic alcohol and fatty carboxylic acid are provided. The esters are especially suitable as additives for personal care and cosmetic products. The preferred esters having an aromatic nucleus, an alkoxy spacer, an ester carboxylic group, and a fatty alkyl group, in which the aromatic nucleus and the oxygen atom of the ester carboxylic group are connected to the alkoxy spacer, and the fatty alkyl group is attached to the carbon atom of the ester carboxylic group, are also provided. Certain of the esters of alkoxylated aromatic alcohol and fatty carboxylic acid having certain skin spread factor or viscosity are also provided.

Esters of aromatic alkoxylated alcohols and fatty carboxylic acids

Compositions that include mixtures of (a) at least one dialkyl quat in the amount of from about 10% to about 90% by weight of the composition; and (b) at least one monoalkyl quat in the amount of from about 10% to about 90% by weight of the composition are provided. Various embodiments are provided. In one embodiment, the mixtures include dialkyl immidazoline quats and monoalkyl immidazoline quats. In one embodiment, the mixtures include dialkyl immidazoline quats and monoalkyl ammonium quats. Various methods of making immidazoline quats and quat mixtures, personal care and cosmetic products and formulations that contain the immidazoline quats and quat mixtures, methods of making such personal care and cosmetic products and formulations, and methods of using the such immidazoline quats, quat mixtures, and personal care and cosmetic products and formulations are also provided.

Mixtures of imidazoline quaternary ammonium and alkyl quaternary ammonium compounds

Mixtures of quaternary compounds

A method of manufacturing ammonium quat-containing raw material composition with improved transportation efficiency and/or processing properties is provided, including the step of forming a mixture containing the ammonium quat in a solvent that includes at least one glycol and at least one fatty alcohol, wherein said raw material composition has cationic activity of over 35%.

Method of manufacturing quat-containing compositions with improved transportation efficiency and/or processing properties

The invention relates to a commercially feasible fatty ammonium quat compound or composition useful in hair products and the like comprising the properties of being flakeable and having at least 35% cationic activity.
