Abstract:
A personal care composition comprising:(a) a silicone grafted adhesive polymer having a Tg of from about âˆ’20Â° C. to about 60Â° C., and comprising an organic polymeric backbone, wherein the backbone is formed from (i) at least one low Tg monomer which forms a homopolymer having a Tg of from about âˆ’120Â° C. to about âˆ’20Â° C., wherein the low Tg monomer is selected from the group consisting of: 3-methoxybutyl acrylate, 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, 2-phenoxyethyl ester, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethoxyethyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylbutyl acrylate, n-ethyl acrylate, n-heptyl acrylate, n-hexyl acrylate, iso-butyl acrylate, iso-decyl acrylate, 3-methylbutyl acrylate, 2-methylpentyl acrylate, nonyl acrylate, octyl acrylate, N-dodecylacrylamide, N-octyldecylacrylamide, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate, 4-decylstyrene, isobutylene, 1-butene, 5-methyl-1-hexene, isoprene, 1,2-butadiene, 1,4-butadiene and mixtures thereof; and (ii) at least one high Tg monomer which forms a homopolymer having a Tg of from about 25Â° C. to about 250Â° C., wherein the high Tg monomer is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid monomers; wherein the silicone grafted adhesive polymer has silicone macromers grafted to said backbone; and further wherein the number average molecular weight of the silicone macromers is from about 1,000 to about 50,000; and (b) a personal care carrier.
