The disclosed technology relates to structurant polymers based on polyurethane/polyurea chemistry, which efficiently thicken or gel (i.e., provide structure to) oils and oil mixtures. The disclosed technology further relates to structurant polymers based on polyurethane/polyurea chemistry that are oil soluble or oil dispersible and that provide beneficial properties, such as, for example, desirable clarity and/or feel. In addition, the technology relates to cosmetically and/or household acceptable formulations containing an oil as well as a structurant polymer based on polyurethane/poly-urea chemistry.

Viscosity modification of organic phase containing compositions

The present invention relates to esterified glycerylated alkyl glycoside and to a process for making same. The esterified glycerylated alkyl glycoside have one or more polyglyceryl moieties and one or more acyl moieties, wherein all of the one or more acyl moieties are situated on the one or more polyglyceryl moieties via an ester linkage. These compounds have been found to be useful as emulsifiers and coemulsifiers in the formulation of a phase stable emulsions suitable for use in personal care, home care, industrial and institutional, and health care applications.

Branched polymeric emulsifiers

A rheology modifier which includes a mixture of short and long chain fatty acid esters is suitable for use in liquid surfactant-based compositions. A surfactant-based composition includes a surfactant, the rheology modifier, and water. The rheology modifier includes a mixture of alkyl glycoside fatty acid esters including a long chain fatty acid ester of an alkyl glycoside and a short chain fatty acid ester of an alkyl glycoside. The long chain fatty acid ester includes at least one fatty acid residue: R(O)O&#x2014;, wherein Ris a Cor higher hydrocarbon. The short chain fatty acid ester includes least one fatty acid residue: R(O)O&#x2014;, wherein Ris a C-Chydrocarbon.

Alkyl glycoside-based micellar thickeners for surfactant systems
