A mixture of fatty acid esters of ethoxylated alkylglucosides of formula I is useful as a refatting agent in cosmetic formulations.

Fatty acid esters of ethoxylated alkylglucosides

Compositions comprising alkoxylated lipophilic polyol compounds, e.g., ehtoxylated, esterified methyl glucosides, are disclosed wherein at least 5% of the polyol derivatives have about three moles of the lipophilic substituent per mole of polyol. Quite advantageously, the disclosed polyol derivatives can be dissolved into aqueous solutions to provide liquid thickeners suitable for thickening surfactant-containing compositions, e.g., shampoos, at cold processing temperatures.

Liquid thickener for surfactant systems

Compositions comprising alkoxylated lipophilic polyol compounds, e.g., ethoxylated, esterified methyl glucosides, are disclosed wherein at least 5% of the polyol derivatives have about three moles of the lipophilic substituent per mole of polyol. Quite advantageously, the disclosed polyol derivatives can be dissolved into aqueous solutions to provide liquid thickeners suitable for thickening surfactant-containing compositions, e.g., shampoos, at cold processing temperatures.

Hydroxylated milk glycerides having low levels of ethylenic unsaturation are disclosed. The hydroxylated milk glycerides can have enhanced resistance to rancidification and as such, are suitable for use in personal care compositions e.g., lotions, skin creams, lipsticks, eye shadow, and makeup. Personal care compositions comprising the hydroxylated milk glycerides can have enhanced properties as compared to personal care compositions which do not comprise the hydroxylated milk glycerides or alternatively comprise milk fat.

Hydroxylated milk glycerides

Alkoxylated alkyl glucosides having quaternary nitrogen-containing ether substituents possess cationics utility combined with extreme mildness to skin and hair along with stable personal care compositions and processes.

Alkoxylated alkyl glucoside ether quaternaries useful in personal care

An esterified propoxylated methyl glucoside composition is prepared by reacting a propoxylated methyl glucoside with a fatty acid at an elevated temperature in the presence of an acid catalyst. The esterified propoxylated methyl glucoside compositions find use as skin moisturizers and emollients which are especially suitable in skin care formulations.
