The oil soluble rheology modifying star macromolecules and compositions comprising the same for use in oil based systems.

The present invention relates to an anhydrous solid cosmetic composition comprising: a) at least one non-volatile phenyl silicone first oil not bearing any dimethicone fragments; b) at least one non-volatile phenyl silicone second oil bearing at least one dimethicone fragment; c) at least one vinyl polymer comprising at least one carbosiloxane dendrimer-based unit. The invention also relates to a process for making up and/or caring for the lips, in which the abovementioned composition is applied to the lips.

The present invention relates to an anhydrous solid cosmetic composition comprising: a) at least one vinyl polymer comprising at least one carbosiloxane dendrimer-based unit; b) at least two hydrocarbon-based volatile oils, c) at least one saturated or unsaturated, preferably linear, solid fatty alcohol whose melting point is greater than or equal to 40 C., comprising from 16 to 60 carbon atoms. The invention also relates to a process for making up and/or caring for the lips, in which the abovementioned composition is applied to the lips.

The invention relates to specific quaternized hyperbranched polymers having end-groups of formula (I) characterized in that said quaternized hyperbranched polymer is obtainable by preparation of a hyperbranched polymer having dimethylamino end groups by condensation of 2-dodecen-1-ylsuccinic anhydride, diisopropanolamine and N,N-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]amine followed by quaternization of the dimethylamino end-groups to end groups of formula (I). Furthermore, the invention is directed to clear shampoo preparations comprising such quaternized hyperbranched polymers. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to cosmetic skin care compositions which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimentheylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and at least one non-ionic emulsifier being an ether or an ester of (poly)ethylene glycol.

The present invention relates to methods of reducing material transfer of cosmetic compositions which include at least one liquid dispersion of an acrylic polymer by incorporating into the cosmetic compositions an amount of a hyperbranched copolymer sufficient to reduce material transfer of the cosmetic composition, wherein the hyperbranched copolymer is a copolymerization reaction product of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and at least one liquid dispersion of an acrylic polymer which is a homopolymer or a copolymer of the monomers selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylic esters, (meth)acrylamide and amides of (meth)acrylic acid.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a specific hyperbranched copolymer (HBC) of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine and the compound 1,3-propandiol and/or N-hydroxyoctanamide. It has been found that said hyperbranched copolymer synergistically enhances the antimicrobial action of a 1,3-propanediol and/or N-hydroxy-octanamide.

Cosmetic compositions are disclosed which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and an oil with a polarity index of either in the range of 50-30 mN/m or in the range of 18-5 mN/m. Material transfer of the cosmetic sun care composition from a skin surface to which the cosmetic sun care composition is applied to another surface contacted by the skin surface is substantially less as compared to an identical cosmetic sun care composition which does not comprise the hyperbranched copolymer.
