Abstract
Terpolymer of crotonic acid, vinyl acetate and an allyl or methallyl ester having the formula ##EQU1## wherein R' hydrogen or CH.sub.3, R.sub.1 is a saturated hydrocarbon chain containing 1-6 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 is -CH.sub.3 or -CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2, with the proviso that the sum of the number of carbon atoms in R.sub.1 + R.sub.2 is equal to or less than 7. The terpolymer is employed with a cosmetic carrier or vehicle to provide a cosmetic composition for the hair, such as a hair lacquer or hair setting lotion, generally in amounts of about 1-4 weight percent of the composition.
Claims3
A hair lacquer composition or hair setting composition comprising a hydroalcoholic carrier or an alcoholic carrier and a terpolymer of 6-15 weight percent crotonic acid, 65-86 weight percent vinyl acetate and 8-20 weight percent of an allyl or methallyl ester of the formula ##EQU3## wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and --CH.sub.3, R.sub.1 is a saturated hydrocarbon chain, linear or branched, having 1-6 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.3 and --CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2, with the proviso that the sum of the number of carbon atoms in R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is equal to or less than 7, said terpolymer being present in an amount of about 1--4 weight percent of said composition.
