Abstract
The use of monocarboxylic-acid-2-hydroxyalkyl esters derived from long-chain epoxides containing at least about eight carbon atoms and aliphatic long-chain monocarboxylic acids containing at least about twelve carbon atoms, to regulate the consistency of cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, is disclosed. The monocarboxylic-acid-2-hydroxyalkyl esters employed in the present invention may be utilized as substitutes for natural or synthetic wax-like consistency regulators, in particular for beeswax, in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations such as oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, as well as anhydrous formulations.
