Abstract:
An organic-mineral hybrid sunscreen composition is an oil-in-water emulsion of aqueous and oil phases. The oil phase includes at least one mineral UV filter comprising Zinc oxide, a blend of organic UV filters comprising ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, octocrylene, and homosalate, at least one oil phase solvent, and at least one surfactant and the water phase includes water; at least one water-miscible solvent, and at least one polymer, and at least one filler. The organic-mineral hybrid sunscreen composition has an SPF of at least about 30 and a critical wavelength of at least 370 nm.
Abstract:
A sunscreen composition is provided as a metastable oil-in-water emulsion that includes aqueous and oil phases, including a UV filter system that includes at least one of each of mineral UV filters and organic UV filters; an emulsification system that includes at least one ionic surfactant, at least one surfactant having a high HLB, and at least one surfactant having a low HLB, and at least one anionic emulsifier; and a solvent system that includes one or a combination of emollients and silicones.

Abstract:
A method for providing a customized skin care product to a customer. The method includes obtaining skin information from a consumer regarding current skin conditions. A skin condition is generated in response to the skin information. An ingredient is selected corresponding to the skin condition. A compatibility profile is generated corresponding to all previously selected ingredients. The generating skin conditions, selecting the ingredient and generating the compatibility profile are repeated until a sufficient number of ingredients are selected to provide a formulation that includes a base and at least two booster compositions that, when mixed, form a skin care composition that is stable and has efficacious concentrations of active ingredients corresponding to skin conditions of a consumer. The formulation comprising the ingredients selected is generated and a cosmetic dispensing system dispenses the ingredients of the formulation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions, typically in the form of an emulsion, comprising cholesterol, at least one ceramide, and oils. The compositions are particularly useful for supporting natural lipid barrier function of skin. Furthermore, the compositions treat skin dryness, skin damage, and the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin texture. Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing the cosmetic compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising: (a) at least two phenolic compounds (one flavoid and one non-flavoid); (b) at least one hydrotrope; (c) at least one emulsifier; (d) a lipid-soluble antioxidant; and (e) water. The at least one hydrotrope should be present in an amount that is effective to solubilize said at least two phenolic compounds in the water phase of the composition. The at least one emulsifier should be present in an amount sufficient to create a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion that is effective to solubilize the lipid-soluble antioxidant. The compositions are useful for cosmetic purposes and other uses.
Abstract:
A transparent or translucent cosmetic composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion is provided. The composition includes an aqueous phase at a concentration, by weight, of about 50%-90%, based upon weight of the composition. The aqueous phase includes at least one amphiphilic compound selected from the group consisting of urea, sodium 5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (sodium PCA), hydroxyethyl urea, nicotinamide, sodium citrate, ascorbic acid, or combinations thereof. The at least one amphiphilic compound is at a concentration, by weight, of about 2% to about 50%, based upon weight of the composition. The composition includes an oil phase comprising at least one water-in-oil emulsifier at a concentration, by weight, of about 1%-25%, based upon weight of the composition. The water-in-oil emulsion is a transparent or translucent composition.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to anhydrous cosmetic compositions comprising: a) From about 0.1% to about 2% of one silica silylate; b) From about 0.1% to about 5% of allantoin; c) From about 0.1% to about 5% of at least one fatty substance; d) From about 2% to about 30% of at least one emulsifier; e) From about 20% to about 30% of at least a first silicone having a viscosity from about between 2 cst to about 70 cst; and f) From about 50% to about 95% of at least a second silicone; wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
Abstract:
A method for managing a skin care system. The skin care system includes circuitry to receive skin information from a user. The circuitry determines treatable skin conditions based on the skin information. The skin care system generates severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility information based on the treatable skin conditions. The skin care system is further able to virtually display user-specific compatible cosmetic formulations based on at least one parameter associated with the severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions for delivering high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and ceramides to the skin, products containing such cosmetic compositions, and methods for treating skin using the cosmetic compositions. The cosmetic compositions include ascorbic acid, one or more ceramides, panthenol, one or more monoalcohols having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, one or more polyols, one or more fatty compounds, one or more emulsifiers, one or more cationic surfactants, and water. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for treating the effects of skin aging, for example, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin tone.
