BENEFIT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYGLYCEROL ESTERS

摘要

The instant disclosure relates to compositions comprising a mixture of polyglycerol partial esters, each having the structure of Formula (I) with R1, R2 and R3 each being independent from each other, equal or different, and selected from the group consisting of -OH, -OR4, with R4 being a linear, unsubstituted acyl radical with an average chain length of from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms with the proviso that the monocarboxylic acids obtained from the acyl radical by saponification bears an iodine value of smaller than 50, or -OR5, with R5 a radical having the structure of Formula (I) wherein one of R1, R2 und R3 being a direct bond to the oxygen of -OR5; wherein each molecule of the mixture of polyglycerol partial esters comprises at least one of each -OR4 and -OR5 with the provisos that the polyglycerol obtained by hydrolysis of the polyglycerol partial ester comprises an average degree of condensation of from 2 to 8 and the polydispersity index of said polyglycerol is greater than 0.75.; and a treatment and/or care agent.
