ALKOXYLATED COMPOUNDS AND THEIR USE IN COSMETIC STICK FORMULATIONS

摘要

Novel phenol compounds of formula (A), wherein R1 is an alkyl substituent of from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, R is an ethyl or propyl substituent, and n is from about 50 to 200. These compounds as well as certain other similarly alkoxylated compounds, for example, a compound of formula (B), wherein R2 and R3 are each, independently, an alkyl substituent of 8 to 15 carbon atoms, R is an ethyl or propyl substituent, and n is from about 50 to 200, may be used in sodium stearate based stick gels to enhance transparency, minimize syneresis and/or increase the setting point of the gel.
