Abstract
Abstract The fingernail water removal activity of aqueous acetone based polish removers is lowered by incorporating therein an amine salt of an anionic amidized hydrolyzed collagen, preferably in combination with an acid addition salt of amidized trialkylamine cationic surfactant.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
In an aqueous acetone-based nail polish remover containing at least about 80% acetone, the improvement wherein the remover comprises in solution (a) from 0.01% to 0.15% of a cosmetically acceptable water soluble amine salt of a fatty acid amide of a hydrolyzed collagen of the formula ##STR2## wherein R is the side chain of a primary or α-amino acid polymer unit of the hydrolyzed collagen, x is an integer from about 20 to 40, and R'--CO-- is an acyl radical of the amidizing fatty acid of from 5 to 18 carbon atoms, and (b) from 0.1% to 0.8% of a cosmetically acceptable acid addition salt of a mono-fatty acid-amido substituted-trialkylamine cationic surfactant, in amounts effective to reduce substantially the nail water removal activity of the acetone of the polish remover.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
In an aqueous acetone-based nail polish remover containing at least about 80% acetone, the improvement wherein the remover comprises in solution (a) from 0.01% to 0.15% of a cosmetically acceptable water soluble amine salt of a fatty acid amide of a hydrolyzed collagen of the formula ##STR2## wherein R is the side chain of a primary or α-amino acid polymer unit of the hydrolyzed collagen, x is an integer from about 20 to 40, and R'--CO-- is an acyl radical of the amidizing fatty acid of from 5 to 18 carbon atoms, and (b) from 0.1% to 0.8% of a cosmetically acceptable acid addition salt of a mono-fatty acid-amido substituted-trialkylamine cationic surfactant, in amounts effective to reduce substantially the nail water removal activity of the acetone of the polish remover.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 1 containing about 0.03% to 0.04% of the water soluble amine salt.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 1 wherein the amide group is isostearicamido.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 1 wherein the amine salt is the aminomethylpropanol salt.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 1 wherein the amine salt is the aminomethylpropanol salt of isostearicamido-hydrolyzed collagen.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 2 wherein the amine of the surfactant is cocoamido-tri-lower-alkyl-amine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 6 wherein the surfactant is cocoamidopropyl, dimethylamine propionate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 1 consisting essentially of an aqueous acetone solution of (a) the aminomethylpropanol salt of the isostearic amide of hydrolyzed collagen and (b) cocoamidopropyl dimethylamine propionate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
A polish remover formulation according to claim 8 consisting essentially of about 87% acetone; about 12% of water; about 0.1% of (a) and about 0.5% of (b).
