摘要:
A personal care composition having at least one hydroxyalkylurea (HAU) optionally in combination with at least one other moisturizing agent. The at least one HAU, alone or together with the at least one moisturizing agent, provides not only the perception of moisturization, but also actual increased moisturization efficacy. When the two are used in combination in a personal care composition, they are provided in a synergistically moisturizing effective ratio to provide that perception of moisturization and increased moisturization efficacy. Such personal care compositions provide an enhanced smooth feel as well as enhanced flexibility, elasticity, suppleness and firmness without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of acrylate copolymers, which provide excellent water resistance to personal care products without the undesirable waxy, greasy or heavy feel. Further, these acrylate copolymers are easy for manufacturers to use as they can be easily incorporated into the water phase without special processing.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to heat treated xanthan gums, which have improved solution viscosity over other xanthan gums heat-treated under the same processing conditions while maintaining the improved ease of use and the short, non-stringy gel texture of heat treated xanthan gums. Such high solution viscosity xanthan gums are suitable in a variety of applications, including cosmetic and personal care compositions.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the use of xanthan gum, particularly heat treated xanthan gum, as a fixative in hair cosmetic compositions. Xanthan gum is advantageous in that it may be used with other hair fixatives and provides rheology modifying and other properties including excellent stiffness, gloss, dry comb, wet comb, non-flake, anti-static, feel and high humidity curl retention.

Personal care compositions having plant fiber such as tapioca fiber, and methods of applying those formulations. The addition of fiber to personal care formulations can provide performance improvement such as cleansing, exfoliation, irritation reduction, suspending, foam enhancement, and rheological property modification.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a low VOC, non-aerosol, polyacrylic acid containing hair cosmetic compositions which contain stabilized starches, particularly those derivatized by alkylene oxides, about 01.-0.0% polyacrylic acid, up to about 15% solvent, and water. The derivatized starch may be hydrolyzed, particularly enzymatically hydrolyzed by at least one endo-enzyme. In addition, the starch may be cationically modified with a low degree of substitution. Use of such starches is novel and advantageous in that they are compatible with polyacrylic acid, providing a clear, solution with a stable viscosity. Further, the resultant composition provides a clear film which is not tacky, good stiffness, and improved humidity resistance.
摘要:
The present invention relates to hair care compositions which contain a polymer which is prepared from N-vinyl formamide (NVF) monomer and the use of those hair care compositions to treat hair. The polymer may be a homopolymer of NVF or an interpolymer of NVF and at least one vinyl monomer. The polymer is present in amounts effective to provide the hair care compositions with hair fixative properties and/or hair conditioning properties.

A sunscreen composition comprising a natural based uncooked, granular starch material as the sunscreen agent incorporated in a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous based starch carrier.
摘要:
Polysaccharide esters containing aldehyde and acetal groups having the structural formulas ##STR1## are prepared by reacting a polysaccharide, such as a starch, gum, or cellulose, with an acetal-containing reagent which contains a functional group reactive with the hydroxyl groups of the polysaccharide; Z is a multivalent organic group: A and A' are independently a lower alkyl or together form at least a 5-membered cyclic acetal; x is at least 1; and y is at least 1. When x is >1 the esters are crosslinked. Typical reagents for introducing the acetal group include 3,3-diethoxypropionyl guanidine (itself a novel compound) and 4-(methylaminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal)-4-oxo-butanoic acid). The derivatives are useful in conventional applications such as coatings, adhesives, paper additives and foodstuffs.
