Described is a method for improving the spreading properties of fatty alcohol containing cosmetic ingredients by providing a fatty alcohol containing starting material and adding an effective amount of acylating source [e.g., RC)&#x2550;O)OC(&#x2550;O)R, where Ris an alkyl substituent of the acyl group having between 1 and 5 carbons; where Ris a long chain fatty alkyl subsistent (non-limiting examples are unsaturated substituents such as CH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CH&#x2550;CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;, and saturated substituents such as CH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;, wherein x ranges from 4 to 12, and y ranges from 14 to 22, and the like)], wherein the spreading properties of the starting material are increased over the spreading properties originally exhibited.

Method for improving spreading properties of cosmetic ingredients

Described is an alkoxylated composition that comprises a family of trans carbon-carbon double bond free compositions that generally have melting points that range from C., preferably with melting points between C. and with a solubility profile compatible with a broad range of cosmetic and industrial chemical bases. At room temperature (&tilde; C.), this family of compositions varies from pourable liquids, to soft creams, to pasty waxes, to a brittle hard material. These compounds, whether used pure or when combined with other carrier and vehicle components (including other additives, thickeners or binders) can form excellent carrier and vehicles for delivery of compositions for use in the cosmetic, personal care and/or pharmaceutical field, including the cosmeceutical field where cosmetic compositions also provide pharmaceutical or other therapeutic benefits.

Production and use of novel alkoxylated monoesters

Cosmetic compositions with enhanced slip and/or break strength are described, said compositions comprising ultra-stable moringa oils, or its derivatives. These compositions may be used in cosmetic applications such as creams, lotions, and liquid foundations; massage oils; pressed products, such as eye shadow, blush, and powder; molded products, such as lipstick, lip balm, foundation, blush, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara; and hair care products, such as leave in conditioners, relaxers, hair dyes and other applications. The oils derived from the moringa plant should have a percent methylene interrupted unsaturation of less than 1%. The compositions may have at least one supplemental additive, such as malic acid, kojic acid, or ascorbic acid, present in an amount of from 0.01 to 2% or more by weight of the composition and the tocopherol is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 5% by weight of the composition.

Ultra-stable composition comprising moringa oil and its derivatives and uses thereof

A product for treating and conditioning cuticles using a semi-solid emollient and a complimentary delivery system is disclosed. The emollient could be any semi-solid emollient suitable for cuticle treatment, the emollient preferably including naturally derived botanicals that impart a &ldquo;dry&rdquo; feel, and a soothing and softening effect on the cuticle area. Isopropyl jojoba (IPJ) and hydrogenated isopropyl jojoba (HIPJ) esters, hydrogenated jojoba alcohol, jojoba esters, hydrogenated jojoba oil, ethyl macadamiate and other esters, waxes and oils may be used in the emollient to contribute to the &ldquo;dry&rdquo; feel and serve as carriers for active materials used to treat cuticles. The semi-solid emollient is retained in a container, preferably in stick form, and is extendable from and preferably retractable into the container, which can be carried by an individual. The container is designed to enable a user to apply the emollient to a cuticle area without touching the emollient with his/her fingertips, thereby preventing application or migration of the emollient to unselected areas.
