Abstract

An acetone deficient composition including at least one polyol, at least one alkyl carbonate, at least one monoalcohol and optionally at least one hydrocarbon based non-volatile oil is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An acetone deficient composition, comprising:
(a) at least one odorless base comprising: from about 5% to 9% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one polyol selected from the group consisting of glycol, glycol ether and a mixture thereof;
from about 30% to about 65% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition of at least one C 4 -C 6 cyclic carbonate; and
from about 6% to about 9% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition of at least one hydrocarbon based non-volatile oil;
(b) from about 30% to about 65% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of ethanol;
(c) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one thickening polymer;
(d) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one abrasive agent;
(e) from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one surfactant;
(f) from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one pigment; and
(g) from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of water, wherein the weight ratio of at least one odorless base (a) to ethanol (b) is from about 60:40 to about 40:60.

2. The acetone deficient composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hydrocarbon based non-volatile oil is selected from: C 10 -C 26 monoalcohols, hydroxylated monoesters of a C 2 -C 8 carboxylic acid and of a C 2 -C 8 alcohol, hydroxylated diesters of a C 2 -C 8 dicarboxylic acid and of a C 2 -C 8 alcohol, hydroxylated triesters of a C 2 -C 8 tricarboxylic acid and of a C 2 -C 8 alcohol, esters of a C 2 -C 8 polyol and of one or more C 2 -C 8 carboxylic acids, and mixtures thereof.

3. A method of removing a water based nail polish enamel comprising applying the composition of claim 1 to a water based nail polish on a nail in an amount sufficient to remove polish from the nail.

4. A method of making an acetone deficient nail polish remover comprising combining:
(a) at least one odorless base comprising: from about 5% to 9% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one polyol selected from the group consisting of glycol, glycol ether and a mixture thereof;
from about 30% to about 65% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one C 4 -C 6 cyclic carbonate; and
from about 6% to about 9% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one hydrocarbon based non-volatile oil;
(b) from about 30% to about 65% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of ethanol;
(c) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one thickening polymer
(d) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one abrasive agent
(e) from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one surfactant
(f) from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one pigment; and
(g) from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of water,
wherein the weight ratio of at least one odorless base (a) to ethanol (b) is from about 60:40 to about 40:60.
