Disclosed are tertiary alkyl alkoxylate derivatives having formula (I) wherein at least one of R<1>, R<2>, or R<3> is independently an alkyl alkoxylate group having formula (II)-((R<5>-O)m-R<6>, wherein R<5> is independently a linear, branched, or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1 to about 8 carbons; R<6> is a linear, branched, or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1 to about 30 carbons; and m is an integer of 1 to about 100; at least one of R<1>, R<2>, or R<3> is independently a hydroxyalkoxylate or a hydroxyalkyl group having formula (III) -(R<7>-O)n-H, wherein R<7> is independently a linear, branched, or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1 to about 8 carbons; and n is an integer of 1 to about 100; and the remainder of R<1>, R<2>, and R<3> is R<8> which is a linear, branched, or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated alkyl having 1 to about 30 carbons. Further disclosed are suitable methods of making the tertiary alkyl alkoxylate derivatives. Still further disclosed are hair care compositions comprising tertiary alkyl alkoxylate derivatives and an acidic compound. |
