Cosmetic salts

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a salt of formula I: wherein q is + or −; p is 2+, +, − or 2−; g is 1 or 2; G is selected from R5—C≡C—CO2−; R5—C≡C—C(═O)S−, R5—C≡C—CS2−, R5—C≡C—SO2−, R5—C≡C—S(═O)S−, R5—C≡C—SO3−, R5—C≡C—S(═O)2S−, and a diallylammonium group, wherein R5 is independently selected from H, linear or branched C1-6 alkyl; L is straight-chain C1-15 alkyl, wherein one or more CH2 groups are independently replaced by —(CH2—O—CH2)—, —(CH2—CH2—O)—, —(O—CH2—CH2)—, C═O, —O—, ˜S—, —NH— or —NR1—, wherein R1 is linear or branched C1-6 alkyl; A is selected from NR23+, CO2−, C(═O)S−, CS2−, SO2−, S(═O)S−, SO3− and S(═O)2S−, wherein R2 is, for each occurrence independently, selected from H, linear or branched C1-6 alkyl; E is selected from NR32, NR33+, CO2H, C(═O)SH, CS2H, SO2H, S(═O)SH, SO3H, S(═O)2SH, CO2−, C(═O)S−, CS2−, SO2−, S(═O)S−, SO3−, S(═O)2S−, wherein, for each occurrence independently, R3 is selected from H, linear or branched C1-6 alkyl; with the proviso that the overall charge of A and E is not 0 and with the proviso that the salt of formula I is overall neutral in charge.
