Butters are a specific class of cosmetic triglycerides that provide a unique feel on skin. There are very few such materials in nature. In order for a butter to be of interest to the personal care market, it must be (1) soft at room temperature; (2) must not 'crack' when handled; (3) must be able to be applied to the skin at ambient temperature by rubbing; (4) must liquefy upon rubbing, (5) must be free of rancidity and (6) must be free of trans acids that are the result of partial hydrogenation. For unsaturated oils to be made into butters, partial hydrogenation is the most common approach. This results in the formation of trans acids which are highly undesirable. The present invention discloses a series of non-hydrogenated butters made by a process referred to as totally randomized triglycerides. The butters are made using a very specific range of very specific types and ratios of fatty acids to glycerin to provide the highly desirable cosmetic butters meeting the requirements 1-5 above.

Totally randomized trans fat free butters

The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon fatty alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by water soluble diols, resulting in polymers with improved water solubility. These polymers are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel delivered from aqueous solution or emulsions.

Alkoxylated citrate polyesters

The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric citrate esters that has very unique rheology properties. These materials find applications as additives to formulations in personal care products where there is a desire to have a structured film and flow properties. These compounds by virtue of their unique structure provide outstanding skin feel and outstanding waterproof properties in cosmetic formulations most notable sunscreens.

Naturally derived citrate polyesters

The present invention is directed to a series of 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, and crosslinked by dimer acid. These products have very unique skin feel and water proofing 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.

Naturally derived glyceryl dimer polyesters having liquid and solid domains

The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon guerbet alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by diols. These polymers have a very low viscosity when one considers the molecular weight, and are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel.

Guerbet citrate polyesters

The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon guerbet alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by water soluble diols, resulting in polymers with improved water solubility. These polymers have a very low viscosity when one considers the molecular weight, and are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel delivered from aqueous solution or emulsions.

Alkoxylated guerbet citrate polyesters

The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric citrate esters that have unique liquidity, and outstanding feel when applied to the skin. The polymers of the present invention are made by polymerizing citrate mono and di fatty esters with a hydroxypropyl functional silicone to provide a polymer with a very low surface tension and outstanding skin feel.

Citrate silicone polyesters

The present invention is directed to a series of polymeric citrate 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 and outstanding waterproof properties in cosmetic formulations most notable sunscreens.

Naturally derived citrate polyesters having liquid and solid domains

The present invention is directed to a series of sorbitol 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.

The present invention is directed to a series of water soluble polymeric citrate 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 aqueous, hydroalcoholic or emulsion 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).
