Novel benzoate, octanoate, and maleate esters of branched monomethyl C16&#x2013;C17 alcohols, their process of manufacture and their use as a cosmetic ingredient for toiletry and cosmetic formulations is disclosed. The esters are useful for cosmetics and personal care cleansing products, such as skin and hair care products, and soaps.

An improved process for preparing reduced-odor or odorless esters, preferably benzoate esters, octanoate esters, aliphatic emollient esters and glycol dibenzoate esters. The improved process comprises, in part, removing the esterification catalyst from the crude ester after the esterification reaction is substantially complete, before neutralization of acidity. The resultant ester compositions are odorless or have substantially reduced odor as compared to commercially available esters.

Compositions of matter comprising benzoate esters of hydroxyl terminated polyether polysiloxane copolyols, in particular dimethicone copolyol benzoates, and process for preparing same. The benzoate esters are useful for personal care cleansing products, such as bar and liquid soaps, skin and hair care products and textiles and fibers. The compounds are prepared by reacting benzoic acid with hydroxyl terminated polyether polysiloxane copolyols.

Novel oat-lipid based derivatives, surfactants and emollients are disclosed, as well as their use in the production of surface active derivatives or non-surface active esters, and ester emollients. The surfactants and fatty derivatives are useful as emollients, dispersants, emulsifiers, and conditioners for hair care and skin care products. For example, derivatives such as amides of oat fatty triglycerides (&ldquo;OFTG&rdquo;)/Monoethanolamine; Acyl Amidopropyl Dimethyl Amines of OFTG as Cationic Surfactants; Betaines based on OFTG; Esters of OFTG based Fatty Acids and Isostearyl Alcohol; Quaternaries based on OFTG based Amido-propyl Dimethyl Amine; Sulfosuccinamates based on OFTG&mdash;MEA Amides; and Sulfosuccinamates based on OFTG&mdash;Iso Propanolamines have been prepared. Derivatives may also include those involving other reactive groups known to those skilled in the art.

A novel delivery system for physical, inorganic sunscreens for use in sunscreen preparations is disclosed. One or more inorganic sunscreen agents, such as micronized zinc oxide and micronized titanium dioxide, is dispersed in a solid dispersion vehicle preferably selected from the group consisting of stearyl benzoate, behenyl benzoate and arachidyl benzoate, to thereby produce a solid dispersion of inorganic sunscreen agents for use in sun-screen preparations. The micronized sunscreens are embedded in a solid product which does not require mixing or regrinding before use. A solid formulation avoids the problems inherent in a fluid emulsion or dispersion, i.e., migration or settling out of the contents, which requires mixing and/or regrinding before use.

Compositions of matter comprising fatty acid esters of hydroxyalkyl sulfonate salts, in particular sodium cocoyl isethionate (SCI) and process for preparing same. The esters are useful for personal care cleansing products, such as bar and liquid soaps, skin and hair care products.

Compositions of matter comprising castor-based benzoate esters, including benzoate esters of castor oil, benzoate esters of hydrogenated castor oil, benzoate esters of cetyl ricinoleate, and benzoate esters of octyl hydroxy stearate. The benzoate esters of ricinoleic acid and hydroxy stearic acid are double esters having a fatty acid group at the respective --COOH group and a benzoate group at the --OH group. The benzoate esters are useful as vehicles or carriers, emollients or solubilizers for toiletry, cosmetic, hair and skin care formulations.

Benzoic acid esters of a polyalkoxylated block copolymer, i.e. PLURONICS, exhibit enhanced characteristics that make these esters ideally suited for skin and hair care compositions. These esters demonstrate enhanced capabilities as foam boosters, emollients, conditioners, clarifiers, solubilizers, and carriers (dilutents). In addition, both oxybenzone and benzocaine can be solubilized by these esters.

Benzoate esters of polyalkoxylated block copolymers

Benzoic acid esters of an ethoxylated methyl glucosides and of a propoxylated methyl glucosides exhibit enhanced characteristics that make these esters ideally suited for skin and hair care compositions. These esters demonstrate enhanced capabilities as foam boosters, emollients, conditioners, clarifiers, solubilizers, and carriers (diluents). In addition, oxybenzone, benzocaine, ibuprofin and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) can be solubilized by these esters. These esters have the ability to solubilize both hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials such as DHA. The benzoate esters have lower surface tensions than the glucam polyol molecules from which they were derived.
