The invention concerns 2-hydroxyalkenoic acids within a general formula
where R′ is chosen from:
a. CwH2w+1
b. CyH2y₋₁, and
c. CyH2yOZ
where Z is chosen from H, R˝ and (CH₂)nOR˝
R˝ is chosen from CmH2m+1 and (CH₂)nOCmH2m+1;
w is an integer of from 1 to 25
y is an integer of from 2 to 25
m is an integer of from 1 to 4
n is an integer of from 1 to 6
Many compounds within the formula are novel and are claimed as such. The invention also provides a process for making the compounds, and compositions for topical application to human skin, hair or nails which contain compounds of the above formula and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.
