Abstract

Cosmetic compositions containing N-alkoxyalkylamides for use in providing moisturizing and/or softening properties to treat dry human skin and for use in other cosmetic applications and including also various novel N-alkoxyalkylamides.

Claims

1. A cosmetic composition for external application to human skin comprising:

(A) up to 25% by weight of one or more compounds of the formula ##STR5## wherein p is a whole number from 1 to about 4, (C_n H_2n) is a straight or branched chain alkyl bridge in which n is a whole number of 1 to about 6, and (C_m H_2m+1) is a straight or branched chain alkyl group in which m is a whole number of 1 to about 6 and (B) the remainder a topical carrier selected from the group consisting of lotion, cream, ointment, and make-up base containing a cosmetically acceptable pigment.

2. A composition according to claim 1 including the Formula I compound in which p is 4.

3. A composition according to claim 1 including the Formula I compound in which n is 3.

4. A composition according to claim 1 including the Formula I compound in which m is 1.

5. A composition according to claim 1 including the Formula I compound in which m is 1.

6. A composition according to claim 1 including the Formula I compound in which p is 4, n is 3, and m is 1.

7. A composition according to claim 1 and effective for moisturizing and softening human skin which comprises a skin moisturizing and softening amount of at least one of the Formula I compounds.

8. A composition according to claim 6 and effective for moisturizing and softening human skin including a skin moisturizing and softening amount of the Formula I compound.

9. A composition according to claim 1 comprising 0.1-20 wt.% of the Formula I compound and 0.1-35 wt.% of a skin-firming agent.

10. A composition according to claim 1 comprising 0.1-10 wt.% of the Formula I compound and 0.25-33 wt.% of a sunscreening agent.

11. A composition according to claim 1 comprising 0.1-10 wt.% of the Formula I compound and 1-12 wt.% of a tanning agent.

12. A composition according to claim 1 comprising 0.1-10 wt.% of the Formula I compound and 1-12 wt.% of a cleansing agent.

13. A composition according to claim 1 which is a makeup comprising 0.01-5 wt.% of the Formula I compound and 1-40% of a cosmetically acceptable pigment.

14. A composition according to claim 1 comprising 0.1-10 wt.% of the Formula I compound and 0.1-50% of a protein.

15. A process for cosmetically terating an external portion of the human body by cosmetically applying thereto a cosmetic composition comprising up to 25 wt% of a compound of the formula ##STR6## wherein p is a whole number from 1 to about 4, (C_n H_2n) is a straight or branched chain alkyl bridge in which n is a whole number of 1 to about 6, and (C_m H_2m+1) is a straight or branched chain alkyl group in which m is a whole number of 1 to about 6.

16. A process according to claim 15, wherein the compound in said composition is methoxy propyl gluconamide.

17. A process for moisturizing and softening human skin by the application thereto of a cosmetic composition selected from the group consisting of lotion, cream, ointment, and make-up base containing a cosmetically acceptable pigment, comprising up to 25 wt% of one or more compounds of the formula ##STR7## wherein p is a whole number from 1 to about 4, (C_n H_2n) is a straight or branched chain alkyl bridge in which n is a whole number of 1 to about 6, and (C_m H_2m+1) is a straight or branched chain alkyl group in which m is a whole number of 1 to about 6.

18. A process according to claim 17 wherein the compound in said composition is methoxy propyl gluconamide.
