Chosen biweekly for their relevance to personal care, Patent Picks are taken from publicly available sources. This edition features technologies related to cleansing skin and hair.

Sustainability: Trends in Polymers and Surfactants for Hair Care

Market trends are driving the development of polymer and surfactant ingredients toward natural origins—in particular, plants. In this article, the authors review some of the recent trends in green surfactants and polymers for hair care. One interesting technology transfer trend is the use of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular networks to produce self-healing fixative films.

Compass—Bring on the Bubbly!

Bubbles are an integral part of this issue of Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine—in the form of cleansing products and the ingredients employed therein.

Formula Anatomy Deciphered—Shampoos

The primary purpose of a shampoo is to clean the hair and scalp; all other attributes such as styling, conditioning split ends, adding shine and improving combability are accomplished by grooming tasks and used for claim purposes to differentiate a product from the competition.

Ingredient Profile—Sodium Lauroamphoacetate

The present column features one of the oldest and most well-known members of the amphoteric family: sodium lauroamphoacetate (SLAA).

Recent Development in Gemini Surfactants

The unique properties of gemini surfactants continue to interest both academic and industrial chemists.

PIT Microemulsions with Low Surfactant Content

A new technology to achieve o/w microemulsions allows the formulation of transparent products with low surfactant content. The PIT Nanotechnology approach gives cosmetic/pharmaceutical o/w microemulsions in one step with a broad variety of surfactants, co

Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena in Cosmetics and Detergency

An understanding of the behavior of surfactants and their interfacial phenomena in cosmetics processes will help formulators design better cosmetics.

PEG/PPG Dimethicone: A New Name for an Old Friend

Dimethicone copolyol surfactants are now called PEG/PPG dimethicone, a change that reflects their structure as polyethers of dimethicone. Properties of these chemicals are reviewed related to molecular weight.

Shampoo Surfactants: The Anionics

Understanding the structure function relationships of anionic surfactants will enable the formulator to achieve shampoo formulations that are well balanced, cost effective and functional.

An Olive Oil- and Wheat-Derived Lipoprotein Emulsifier

Olive oil and hydrolyzed wheat protein can be combined to form a lipoprotein that functions as an emulsifier and a "green" surfactant.

Decomposition of Disodium Lauyrlsulfosuccinate in Soap Bars Under Alkaline Conditions

The authors used kinetic experiments to track the heat-induced decomposition of disodium lauryl-sulfosuccinate during the manufacture of soap bars and compared the results with those of another soap surfactant, sodium cocoylisethionate.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

This paper presents methods for producing cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), an important secondary surfactant in cosmetic formulations, household cleaners, dish-washing agents and technical applications. However, with the widespread use of CAPB, more analytical methods to determine its contents and byproducts are needed. These authors thus describe methods to determine CAPB purity and other characteristics.

Comparatively Speaking Alkyl Betaines Vs Amido Betaines

Comparatively Speaking: Alkyl Betaines vs. Amido Betaines

Industry expert Tony O'Lenick asks Robert Coots, Ph.D., to explain the difference between alkyl betaines and amido betaines, including their foaming properties.

Patent Picks—Colored Bubbles, Straightening, Suspended Air and More in Hair Care

Chosen biweekly for their relevance to personal care, Patent Picks are taken from publicly available sources. This edition features patents related to hair cleansing, conditioning and styling, among others.

Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropyl Sulfonate for Sulfate-free Formulations

The use of sulfonated alkyl polyglucosides (SAPG) to replace lauryl sulfates and lauryl ether sulfates in sulfate-free formulations has previously been discussed. These primary surfactants were created with environmental and human safety in mind. The current paper describes more recent work with this material, specifically focusing on the lauryl version of SAPG.

Comparatively Speaking: CMC vs. RF50

Industry expert Tony O'Lenick refers to his son and polymer scientist at the University of Tennessee, Thomas O'Lenick, to explain the difference between critical micelle concentration and reduction factor 50% (RF50) with regard to measuring silicone surfactant effectiveness.
