Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to improved personal skin care products which contain dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride/acrylic acid-type polymers. These polymers provide exceptional feel to skin when personal skin care products containing them, such as hand and face lotions, soaps or creams, suntan lotions, bubble baths, shaving creams, antiperspirants, and deodorants, are used.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A method for improving feel imparted to skin by a personal skin care product comprising adding to said product an effective amount of a polymer comprising: a. about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a quaternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer, wherein alkyl groups are independently selected from alkyl groups of 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein said quarternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer's counterion is selected from the group consisting of bases of acids having an ionization constant greater than 10 -13 b. about 1 to about 40%, by weight of said polymer, of an anionic monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid; wherein the weight average molecular weight of said polymer ranges from about 50,000 to 10,000,000, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
A method for improving feel imparted to skin by a personal skin care product comprising adding to said product an effective amount of a polymer comprising: a. about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a quaternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer, wherein alkyl groups are independently selected from alkyl groups of 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein said quarternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer's counterion is selected from the group consisting of bases of acids having an ionization constant greater than 10 -13 b. about 1 to about 40%, by weight of said polymer, of an anionic monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid; wherein the weight average molecular weight of said polymer ranges from about 50,000 to 10,000,000, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said alkyl group of (a) is C 1-4 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, wherein (a) is selected from the group consisting of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and diethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and (b) is acrylic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said effective amount ranges from about 0.1 to about 5%, by weight, of said product.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said product comprises an active agent and a surfactant.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 5, wherein said surfactant is anionic.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said counterion is selected from the group consisting of fluoride, chloride, bromide, hydroxide, nitrate, acetate, hydrogen sulfate and primary phosphates.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
94 words
An improved personal skin care product which comprises: a. an active agent; b. an anionic surfactant; c. a copolymer comprising; 1. about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a monomer selected from the group consisting of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and diethyldiallyl ammonium chloride; and 2. about 1 to about 30%, by weight of said polymer, a momomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, and methacrylic acid; wherein said polymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 10,000,000, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
94 words
An improved personal skin care product which comprises: a. an active agent; b. an anionic surfactant; c. a copolymer comprising; 1. about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a monomer selected from the group consisting of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and diethyldiallyl ammonium chloride; and 2. about 1 to about 30%, by weight of said polymer, a momomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, and methacrylic acid; wherein said polymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 10,000,000, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
