Thus, water reducible epoxy resins are prepared by reacting a polyglycidyl ether of {HEAD ~ a polyphenol} having a 1,2 epoxy equivalency greater than 1.0 with an amino acid containing at least one amine group and one carboxyl group, wherein {TAIL ~ the amine group} of the acid is preferentially reactive with the epoxy groups of the polyglycidyl ether
