An improved, solvent-free, two-stage transesterification process for preparing, from a polyol and fatty acid esters of an easily removable alcohol highly esterified polyol fatty acid polyesters having reduced levels of difatty ketones and &bgr;-ketoesters is disclosed. These reduced levels of difatty ketones/&bgr;-ketoesters are achieved by controlling the level of generated alcohol in the liquid phase of the reaction mixture and heating the reaction mixture to certain temperatures during the second stage of this improved process. Other optional reaction conditions, such as keeping the molar ratio of fatty acid esters to polyol within a specified range and reducing the level of basic catalyst, can also be used during the second stage reaction to further reduce the level of difatty ketones and/or &bgr;-ketoesters.

Process for obtaining highly esterified polyol fatty acid polyesters having reduced levels of difatty ketones and &bgr;-ketoesters

The present invention relates to kits and films formed from the kits which are useful as cosmetic or therapeutic agents, as well as methods of their use. The films and kits herein are particularly useful as polishes for mammalian nails. More particularly, the present invention relates to kits and films which, when applied to mammalian nails exhibit long wear.

Nail polish kits

The present invention relates to compositions useful as cosmetic or therapeutic agents, as well as methods of their use. The compositions herein are particularly useful as coatings for mammalian nails. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions which, when applied to mammalian nails exhibit long wear properties including excellent adhesion to the nail.
