Abstract:
1. A method of preparing a highly refractive personal care composition, the method comprising: (a) reacting an aliphatic polyol having two to three carbons atoms, which does not contain an ether group, and benzoic acid, to obtain a polyol polyester having a refractive index at 25° C. of greater than about 1.5; and (b) incorporating the polyol polyester into a personal care composition, wherein the personal care composition is selected from the group consisting of a soap, a cleanser, a shampoo, a skin conditioner, a hair conditioner, a hair spray, a hair gel, a hair tonic, a hair mousse, a hair pomade, a hair lacquer, a skin lotion, a skin cream, a skin mousse, a skin ointment, a lipstick, a mascara, a foundation, an eye shadow, or a color-imparting cosmetic, wherein the personal care composition has shine and gloss properties based on the refractive index of the polyol polyester, wherein the polyol polyester has a viscosity of about 30 to about 200 centistokes at 25° C.
