Abstract

A personal care composition and its process of preparation wherein the composition comprises (a) polyglycerol ester product of 5 weight parts of lactic acid, 5 weight parts of lauric acid and 90 weight parts of polyglycerol; (b) one or more ingredient(s) and (c) water; wherein the polyglycerol is with an average polymeric degree of 2-5.

Claims (15)

1 . A personal care composition comprising:

(a) a polyglycerol ester comprising a reaction product of 5 weight parts of lactic acid, 5 weight parts of lauric acid and 90 weight parts of polyglycerol;

(b) one or more ingredient(s) and

(c) water;

wherein the polyglycerol has an average polymeric degree of 2-5.

2 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein (a) is 5 to 50% by weight, (b) is 5 to 50% by weight and (c) is 10 to 90% by weight.

3 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the composition is sulfate free, amide free, ethylene oxide free, silicone free, paraben free and formaldehyde free.

4 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the composition is provided as a shampoo, scalp cleanser, hair cleanser, shower preparation, shower gel, foam bath, gel, body wash, facial cleanser, face wash, makeup remover, cleansing wipe, sunscreen, or foundation.

5 . A personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polyglycerol comprises 20-40% by weight of diglycerol, 30-50% by weight of triglycerol, 5-15% by weight of tetraglycerol and 2-5% by weight pentaglycerol.

6 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein an average molecular weight of polyglycerol is 180-250 g/mol.

7 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein polyglycerol ester has a hydroxyl value of 900 to 1200 mg/KOH/gm.

8 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polyglycerol ester has an HLB value of 15-20.

9 . The personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the one or more ingredient(s) are anionic, cationic, zwiterrionic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactants, superfatting agents, stabilizers, biogenic active ingredients, humectants, preservatives, pearlizing agents, dyes, pigments, fragrances, solvents, opacifiers, thickeners, dispersants, protein derivatives, gelatin, collagen hydrolysates, polypeptides, fatty alcohols, odor masking agents, enzymes, or a combination thereof.

10 . A process for preparing the polyglycerol ester as claimed in claim 1 comprising reacting the polyglycerol with the lauric acid and the lactic acid and wherein the polyglycerol comprises 20-40% by weight of diglycerol, 30-50% by weight of triglycerol, 5-15% by weight of tetraglycerol and 2-5% by weight pentaglycerol.

11 . A process for preparing the personal care composition as claimed in claim 1 comprising mixing the polyglycerol ester and the one or more ingredient(s) in the water.
