Abstract:

Disclosed is a process for the recovery of a phytolipid composition from a vegetable oil by-product. The phytolipid composition produced comprises squalene, phytosterols, mixed tocopherols and tocotrieneols, and vegetable wax and is useful as an emollient. The phytochemical composition may be applied directly to the skin to provide emolliency. Alternatively, the phytolipid composition may be formulated in various aqueous or anhydrous cosmetic compositions such as creams, lotions, gels, ointments, lip balms, sticks, or pencils for treatment of the skin and lips. The phytolipid composition also may be incorporated into foods, beverages, and nutraceuticals to provide health benefits.

Abstract:

A sulfopolyester comprising repeat residue units from the reaction product dimethyl-5-sodiosulfoisophthalate, isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and diethylene glycol, has at least one property selected from: a) an acidity of greater than 0. 030 measured as milliequivalents H/gram of sulfopolyester; b) a titanium concentration, measured as metal, of less than about 27 ppm, based on the amount of sulfopolyester; or c) an acidity of greater than 0. 010 measured as milliequivalents H/gram of sulfopolyester, a pH of less than 6. 0 and a concentration of a base compound of less than 0. 0335 moles/kg of sulfopolyester. A method for making the water-dispersible or water-dissipative sulfopolyester of the present invention is disclosed. Aqueous dispersion having from 0. 001 to about 35 weight % of the sulfopolyester of the present invention is also disclosed.

International Classification:

C09D 5/00

US Classification:

523122, 524383

Abstract:

A cycloaliphatic diol antimicrobial agent selected from the group consisting of 1,1-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol was found to provide antimicrobial activity in coating compositions and latexes, and was found to enhance the effectiveness of other antimicrobial agents commonly used in coatings and dispersions. Alone or as part of a preservative system, this cycloaliphatic diol antimicrobial agent in water can provide an easy-to-handle liquid that allows coatings producers to achieve improved microbial control, or achieve equivalent control while using less antimicrobial agents in their formulations. Consequently, the shelf life of the products can be maintained while reducing the use of the traditional preservative, or the shelf-life can be enhanced with addition of this cycloaliphatic diol antimicrobial agent to an existing antimicrobial system.

International Classification:

A61K007/04

US Classification:

424/061000

Abstract:

Disclosed are cosmetic film-forming compositions which are especially useful as nail coating compositions which, upon drying, form a film which will adhere to the keratin of the nail, i.e., fingernails and toenails, and to artificial nails. More specifically, the present invention pertains to cosmetic coating compositions comprising one or more carboxyalkyl cellulose (CAC) esters and a liquid vehicle or solvent. The compositions may be anhydrous or contain up to about 80% water. While primarily useful as nail coatings, the coating compositions also may be applied to the skin to provide a pigmented coating or glossy finish.
