Abstract
There is provided self-emulsifying or emollient agents prepared by the process comprising reacting from about 1 mole of azelaic acid with from about 1 to about 1.25 moles of C12-18 fatty alcohol to form an azelaic monoester having general formulae (I-IV), wherein R is a C12-18 fatty alcohol, and the product containing from about 40 to about 50 weight percent of (I), from about 50 to about 60 weight percent of (II), from about 1 to about 2 weight percent of (III), and from about 0 to about 1 weight percent of (IV), all weights being based on the weight of said self-emulsifying or emollient agent. There is also provided an aqueous composition employing said agents and methods of self-emulsifying or imparting emolliency.
