Meadowfoam esters as skin conditioners

摘要

The present invention deals with the use certain novel esters which are prepared by the reaction of an alcohol and meadowfoam fatty, methyl ester or triglyceride in personal care applications. These materials are useful as cosmetic ingredients where outstanding liquidity, resistance to oxidation, and minimal taste and odor variation are required. This combination of properties make these compounds excellent candidates as additives to personal care products like skin care oils and lipsticks.
