<p>Cosmetic skin care methods of using and process of making carboxyalkylates of branched alcohols and/or alkokylates thereof, compositions containing, and process of making same. The compounds are of formula (A); R-O-M (A) wherein: R is a branched alkyl or alkenyl chain having at least 7 carbon atoms, and at least two branches; O is an oxygen atom; M is (-(CH2)p0)n- (CH2)MC02X, where n is 0 or an integer between 1 and 7, m is an integer between 2 and 4, p is an integer between 2 and 4 and X is hydrogen, a methyl group, an ethyl group, or a cation. The compounds and compositions provide control of sebum secretions from sebocytes, improved oil control and improved skin feel, prevent shine and stickiness, while also providing anti-microbial activity against bacteria associated with acne, as well as providing anti-ageing benefits which result in reduced appearance of wrinkles and aged skin, improved in skin's radiance and clarity and finish, and an overall healthy and youthful experience of the skin.</p> |
