Abstract:
1. A composition comprising: (a) a base comprising water and surfactant, and (b) a polyglyceryl thickener comprising one or more compounds characterized by the following structure: a node structure comprising from four to twelve carbon atoms; one or more (poly)glyceryl groups; and one or more hydrophobic moieties; wherein each of said one or more (poly)glyceryl groups is linked to said node structure by a first primary linking group, said one or more hydrophobic moieties are each independently linked either to said node structure by a primary linking group or to one of said (poly)glyceryl groups by a secondary linking group; and wherein said polyglyceryl thickener has an average number of hydrophobic groups per primary linking group of about 0.35 or greater; and wherein said polyglyceryl thickener is present in the composition in a concentration sufficient to increase the Zero Shear Viscosity of the base by about 200 cP or more.
