Comsetic compositions containing alkyl diamides for use in providing moisturizing and/or softening properties to treat dry human skin and for use in other cosmetic applications and including also various novel alkyl diamides.

Alkyl diamides and cosmetic treating compositions therewith

Cosmetic compositions containing N-alkoxyalkylamides

Mercaptyl-containing quaternary nitrogen compounds, which may contain additional functional moieties such as dye, polysiloxane, or polyoxyalkylenes groups, are useful in the treatment of hair, used in hair-treating compositions, to impart properties such as conditioning, shape, color, sheen, and manageability.

Hair treatment and conditioning agents

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## are disclosed wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrocarbon radical with 17 carbon atoms and 1-3 double bonds; R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.22 hydrocarbon radical, x is 0-4, and y is 0-9.

Fatty acid diesters

Disclosed are fatty acid esters of the formula CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.5 CH(OCOR.sub.1)(CH.sub.2).sub.10 COOR.sub.2 wherein, R.sub.1 is a hydrocarbon radical having 17 carbon atoms with 1-3 double bond therein; and R.sub.2 is a hydrocarbon radical having 1-4 carbon atoms.

Higher acyl lower alkyl hydroxystearates useful in cosmetics

Fatty acid esters for use in cosmetic compositions are prepared having the formula

A sunscreen composition for application to hair is provided comprising a mousse base or concentrate containing a sunscreen agent therein, said mousse base or concentrate comprising a cationic surfactant substantive to hair and a nonionic film-former which in combination with a nonionic surfactant produces foam in the composition and upon application to hair forms a coating thereon.

Sunscreen composition for hair protection

Compositions containing esters of an unsaturated monohydric alcohol, having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms, of p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid are very effective in controlling sunburn and skin tanning. These novel esters from C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 alcohols, which have high 'K' values as described, are particularly useful.

Sun screen compositions of unsaturated esters of p-dimethylaminobenzoic

Sunscreening compositions and methods for using the same to protect human skin from erythema producing ultraviolet radiation by applying to the skin a cosmetic carrier composition containing an effective amount to substantially prevent erythema of a cationic para-amino benzoate ester of a substituted amino alkanol. Sunscreening compositions containing cationic para-amino benzoates when applied to the skin have been found to be substantially uneffected by moisture from perspiration or swimming and are, therefore, substantive in form.

Cationic skin substantive sunscreen composition and method

Aqueous transparent ringing gel compositions are prepared utilizing (2-ethyl-1,3-dihydroxy)2-propyl oleamide, a Kritchevsky base, and isostearic acid as necessary components. Other cosmetic materials can be utilized as desired.
