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 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.

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

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.

Fatty ammonium quaternary compositions

Dialkyl quats useful in personal care products are described. These quats are produced from fatty acids at least 30% by weight of which are C-20 in length or longer.
