Appeal 2007-1156
Application 10/459,070
(ii) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of a copolymer formed from a major
portion of a monoolefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride
monomer of 3 to 6 carbon atoms and a minor portion of a C10-C30 acrylate or
methacrylate ester monomer;
(iii) from about 1 to about 30% of a crystalline gel structurant
comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant in an amount and type exhibiting
an enthalpy as measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry ranging from
about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram, and wherein the composition has a
normal force of from about +5 to about +50 grams thereby achieving a silky
sensory feel on skin, the glycerin to copolymer being present in a weight
ratio ranging from about 350:l to about 10:1, the crystalline gel structurant
being anionic or nonionic;
when anionic the surfactant comprising C10-C22 fatty acid and a salt of the
fatty acid, the fatty acid and salt being present in a ratio from 100:l to 1:100
and the co-surfactant comprising a C10-C22 fatty alcohol and a C1-C200 ester
of a C10-C22 fatty acid, the alcohol and ester being present in a weight ratio
from 100:1 to 1:100; and
when nonionic the surfactant comprising a C1-C200 polyethoxy or
polypropoxy alcohol ester of a C10-C22 fatty acid and the co-surfactant
comprising a mixture of C10-C22 fatty alcohol, a glyceryl ester of a fatty acid
and a C10-C22 unesterified fatty acid.
