The invention comprises a process for preparing mixtures of DEFI and amide taurate (ATA) having excellent yields of ATA and substantial absence of browning of final ATA and DEFI mixtures. The process permits much greater flexibility in ratios of DEFI to ATA. The invention further relates to mixtures prepared by processes of the invention.

DEFI and taurate amide mixtures and processes thereof

Bioenergetic nicotinic acid glycerol esters, compositions and methods of using same

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a personal care composition, comprising:  

Personal care compositions comprising fatty acid amide derivatives

The invention relates to a method of enhancing conversion of alkali metal salt, preferably aqueous salt, preferably aqueous sodium salt of N-methyl taurine to alkyl taurate amides. In one aspect, the starting salt is pre-concentrated (at least 75% up to 99% taurine salt in the aqueous solutions after water is removed from a starting aqueous solution of the salt) and, in another aspect, the starting salt is not pre-concentrated.

Method of enhanced conversion of taurine salts to alkyl taurate amides

The present technology provides personal care compositions that include about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of (Formula), or a mixture of any two or more thereof; wherein n is 0, 1, or 2; m is 1, 2, or 3; p is 0, 1, or 2; and q is 1, 2, or 3; about 0.1 wt % to about 30 wt % of a UV-B sunscreen oil; about 0.1 wt % to about 30 wt % of a nonionic surfactant of Formula I (I) where Ris a C-Calkyl group; r is an integer from 6 to 13, and the nonionic surfactant has a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of about 10 to about 14; and about 40 wt % to about 96 wt % of the personal care composition is water. 

Cyclocarboxylic acid containing personal care compositions

The invention is directed to a cosmetic composition and the precursor thereof. The composition has solid agent and liquid agent, both of which are cosmetic benefit ingredients. The solubility of solid agents in liquid agents in the inventive compositions is enhanced in the presence of a tricyclodecane amide.

Cosmetic compositions with tricyclodecane amides

A personal care photoprotective composition is provided having a UV-A and UV-B sunscreen in conjunction with a tricyclodecane amide. The tricyclodecane amide functions to boost UV-A, UV-B and SPF performance when the personal care composition is applied to skin or hair of the human body.

Personal care photoprotective compositions with tricyclodecane amides

A reagent composition for forming fatty acyl amido surfactants is provided which includes an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of an amino compound; a polyol of molecular weight ranging from 76 to 300; and no more than 10% water.

Amino acid salt containing compositions

A process is provided for preparing C-Cacyl amido compounds via reaction in a polyol (molecular weight 76 to 400) of interesterifying a fatty acid ester with an amino compound or salt thereof. The resultant mass of material will have a Hunter Lab Color Scale value L ranging from 70 to 100.

General method for preparing fatty acyl amido based surfactants

A process is provided for preparing C-Cacyl amido compounds via reaction in a polyol (molecular weight 76 to 400) of interesterifying a C-Calkyl ester of a C-Cfatty acid with an amino compound or salt thereof. The resultant mass of material will have a Hunter Lab Color Scale value L ranging from 70 to 100.

A process is provided for preparing C-Cacyl glycinate acid or salt thereof via reacting and heating reacting a mixture of glycine or salt thereof with a fatty acid ester in a medium selected from the group consisting of glycerol, propylene glycol and combinations thereof, and wherein the mixture has a pKa ranging from 9.5 to 13.

Method for preparing fatty acyl amido carboxylic acid based surfactants

Stabilized cationic ammonium compounds are described. The compounds are stabilized with pyridine-based chelators and/or heteroketo-based chelators that impede the generation of nitrogen comprising groups from the cationic ammonium compounds.

Compositions with skin benefit compounds and chelator stabilized cationic ammonium compounds

A process is provided for preparing C-Cacyl glycinate acid or salt thereof via reacting and heating a mixture of glycine or salt thereof with a C-Calkyl ester of a C-Cfatty acid in a medium of glycerol or propylene glycol. The reaction proceeds well where the mixture is formulated to have a pKa ranging from 9.5 to 13.

A surfactant concentrate is provided that includes C-Cacyl amido compounds, a polyol and C-Cfatty acids. The concentrate is formed via an interesterification reaction between a fatty acid ester and an amino compound or salt thereof in a polyol. The resultant surfactant concentrate will have a Hunter Lab Color Scale value L ranging from 70 to 100.
