Abstract
Abstract Cosmetic compositions useful for treatment of hair or skin contain macromolecular glyceryl-chitosan having (a) 4-40 Mol-% units of the Formula (I) ##STR1## and (b) 60-96 Mol-% units of the Formula (II) ##STR2## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and are ##STR3## wherein R 4 and R 5 are the same or different and are ##STR4## wherein either X=H and Y=CH 2 OH, or Y=H and X=CH 2 OH and n=2 to 5, with the proviso that for at least half of the units of the formula II, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are not uniformly H, or their salts with organic or inorganic acids, in a suitable cosmetic carrier. Also disclosed are the compounds per se and a process for their production wherein chitosan composed of 60-96% entacetylated chitin is reacted with glycidol.
