The invention relates to method of enhancing yield of alkyl taurate amides using enhancing specifically phosphoric acid catalysts. It further relates to the use of phosphoric acid to enhance yield while avoiding and/or reducing undesirable browning.

Enhanced conversion of taurine to alkyl taurate amide using phosphoric acid catalysts

The invention comprises a process for preparing mixtures of DEFI and amide taurate (ATA) having excellent yields of ATA and substantial absence of browning of final ATA and DEFI mixtures. The process permits much greater flexibility in ratios of DEFI to ATA. The invention further relates to mixtures prepared by processes of the invention.

DEFI and taurate amide mixtures and processes thereof

New nicotinic acid glycerol ester compound(s) (NAEs); topical personal care compositions containing NAEs; and methods for modulating or activating cellular AMPK levels; and for increasing skin cellular bioenergetics are described. Use of one or more of the nicotinic acid glycerol ester compounds for modulating or activating cellular AMPK levels; and for increasing skin cellular bioenergetics are described. Use of a skin benefit agent comprising certain nicotinic acid glycerol ester compounds in the manufacture of a topical personal care composition for modulating or activating cellular AMPK levels; and for increasing skin cellular bioenergetics are described.

Bioenergetic nicotinic acid glycerol esters, compositions and methods of using same

Topical personal care compositions containing amino acids and 4-substituted resorcinols for potentiating glutathione synthesis within skin cells. The compositions can be used to improve skin appearance of chronological aging or photoaging, resulting from exposure to UV light/sunlight, or environmental pollutants. The compositions are also useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

Personal care compositions with glutathione precursor comprising 4-substituted resorcinols and amino acids

An antimicrobial composition with a synergistic combination of ingredients is described. Cosmetic compositions containing the antimicrobial composition with improved preservation properties are also described. The cosmetic compositions are effective in treating the skin to cleanse, moisturize and to reduce the effects of aging and photo damage and treat other skin conditions after being topically applied.

Antimicrobial composition

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a personal care composition, comprising:  

Personal care compositions comprising fatty acid amide derivatives

Skin lightening additives and personal care compositions containing amino acids and nicotinamide compounds. The compositions are useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

Topical skin lightening additive and composition with amino acids and nicotinamide compounds

The invention relates to a method of enhancing conversion of alkali metal salt, preferably aqueous salt, preferably aqueous sodium salt of N-methyl taurine to alkyl taurate amides. In one aspect, the starting salt is pre-concentrated (at least 75% up to 99% taurine salt in the aqueous solutions after water is removed from a starting aqueous solution of the salt) and, in another aspect, the starting salt is not pre-concentrated.

Method of enhanced conversion of taurine salts to alkyl taurate amides

The present technology provides personal care compositions that include about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of (Formula), or a mixture of any two or more thereof; wherein n is 0, 1, or 2; m is 1, 2, or 3; p is 0, 1, or 2; and q is 1, 2, or 3; about 0.1 wt % to about 30 wt % of a UV-B sunscreen oil; about 0.1 wt % to about 30 wt % of a nonionic surfactant of Formula I (I) where Ris a C-Calkyl group; r is an integer from 6 to 13, and the nonionic surfactant has a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of about 10 to about 14; and about 40 wt % to about 96 wt % of the personal care composition is water. 

Cyclocarboxylic acid containing personal care compositions

The invention is directed to a cosmetic composition and the precursor thereof. The composition has solid agent and liquid agent, both of which are cosmetic benefit ingredients. The solubility of solid agents in liquid agents in the inventive compositions is enhanced in the presence of a tricyclodecane amide.

Cosmetic compositions with tricyclodecane amides

An effective process of making adamantanamide, which process is fast, does not the use of organic solvents or labor-intensive isolation or purification of the product, by removal of organic solvent or by-products, and has improved yield and purity.

Process of making adamantanamides

A personal care composition is provided having a highly volatile fragrance which incorporates alpha pinene, beta pinene, hexyl acetate, limonene, (+)-citronellal, dihydromyrcenol, alpha citronellol, beta citronellol, genaniol, lilial or combinations thereof in conjunction with tricyclodecane amide. The tricyclodecane amide functions to prevent fast volatilization of the highly volatile fragrance components when the personal care composition is applied to skin or hair of the human body.

Prolonged delivery of certain fragrance components from personal care compositions
