Patent ID: 7670594

Claim:
A composition which comprises; (a) from between 5% to 95% by weight of a poloxomer ester conforming to the following structure: R—(CH 2 —CH 2 —O) a (CH 2 CH(CH 3 )O) b —(CH 2 CH 2 O) c —R 1 wherein; R and R 1 are selected from the group consisting of H and —C(O)—R 2 , with the proviso that both R and R1 are not both H; a and c are each independently integers ranging from 0 to 20, with the proviso that a+c be at least 5; b is an integer ranging from 1 to 20; with the proviso that a+c be at least 5; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of; CH 3 —(CH 2 ) m C(O)—O—; CH 3 (CH 2 ) 5 CH(OH)—(CH 2 ) 10 —C(O)O—; CH 3 —(CH 2 ) 7 —CH═CH—(CH 2 ) 7 —C(O)O—; and ricionelic; m is an integer ranging from 6 to 38; said poloxamer ester has at least 40% by weight polyoxyethylene in the backbone; and (b) between 95% to 5% by weight of a silicone conforming to the following structure; wherein; R 3 is (CH 2 ) 3 —O—(CH 2 CH 2 —O) d (CH 2 CH(CH 3 )O) e —(CH 2 CH 2 O) f —H R 4 is alkyl having 10 to 22 carbon atoms; x is an integer ranging from 0 to 200; y is an integer ranging from 1 to 45; z is an integer ranging from 1 to 45: d is an integer ranging from 0 to 20; e is an integer ranging from 0 to 20; f is an integer ranging from 0 to 20; with the proviso that d+f be at least 5; said silicone has at least 40% by weight polyoxyethylene in the molecule.
