Benefits of technology

The emollient improves skin feel and stability, reduces skin irritation, and maintains good foaming and rinsability, achieving a balance of properties with fewer components and lower production costs, making it suitable for personal care compositions like shampoos and body washes.

Problems solved by technology

This combination of properties is even more challenging to provide in clear cleansing products, which are highly desired.
However, cleansing compositions based on synthetic detergents often impart poor skin feel during and after use, and require additives to improve such tactile aspects of performance.
Although the incorporation of such an emollient may help to improve skin feel in cleansing compositions, it may not contribute to other necessary properties, such as attractive product appearance and viscosity, and may have a negative effect on foaming.
Thus, additional components, such as foam builders and viscosity builders, may need to be incorporated into the cleansing compositions, which can lead to an increased cost in producing such compositions.
Further, at concentrations higher than about 2% by weight, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate may be difficult to mix into aqueous systems, especially at ambient temperatures, which may require more elaborate and / or costly mixing procedures to produce the cleansing compositions.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]While the specification concludes with claims that particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description.

[0015]All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level, and, therefore, do not include solvents or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified. The term “weight percent” may be denoted as “wt. %” herein.

[0016]All molecular weights as used herein are weight average molecular weights expressed as grams / mole, unless otherwise specified.

[0017]Herein, “comprising” means that other steps and other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added. This term encompasses the terms “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of”. The compositions and ...

Abstract

An emollient represented by the formula:wherein:R1 is CH3(CH2)m and may be interrupted with at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of amine, ether, ester, amide, sulfur, sulfur monoxide, sulfer dioxide, sulfamate, hydroxy, or mixtures thereof; andm=6-16n=0 or 1R2=H or CH3; andR3=CO(CH)2COOH or CO(CH2)2COOH.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 475,145, filed Apr. 13, 2011.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to new mild conditioning agents. In particular, the invention relates to a novel emollient which may be derived from natural feedstocks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The development of cleansing products (including, without limitation, liquid hand soaps, body washes, shampoos, bath washes, hair conditioners, liquid dish detergents, car wash detergents, and the like) has long been driven by the challenge of providing a combination of performance properties such as good foaming, good cleansing, good rinsing, enhanced mildness, and improved skin feel. This combination of properties is even more challenging to provide in clear cleansing products, which are highly desired. Often the addition of a component to a cleansing composition formulation may enhance one property to the detrim...
