Abstract

Disclosed are petrolatum-like compositions that comprise metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. Also disclosed are emulsions comprising metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. The petrolatum-like compositions may be used as substitutes for petroleum-based petrolatum. The emulsions may be water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions and may be suitable for a variety of end uses.

Claims

1. A composition comprising:

an emulsion comprising a dispersed phase that comprises a hydrogenated metathesized unsaturated polyol ester and a polyol ester,

C.) of about 100 dmm to about 300 dmm, wherein the hydrogenated metathesized unsaturated polyol ester is hydrogenated metathesized unsaturated soybean oil and wherein the polyol ester is soybean oil.

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion.

3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is an oil-in-water emulsion and further comprises an emulsifier.

4. The composition of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the soybean oil is partially hydrogenated.
