Abstract:
A water-releasing sunscreen composition in the form of an emulsion and process for using the composition are provided. The composition includes an aqueous phase containing at least one stability boosting polyol. The composition further includes an oil phase containing a first emulsifier and a structuring agent. The oil phase also includes a combined organic UV filter comprising a liquid organic liposoluble UV filter and a solid organic liposoluble UV filter. The combined organic UV filter is at a concentration from about 10% to about 25%. The composition includes a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase of about 1.0 to about 10.0. The sunscreen composition is stable, has a sun protection factor (SPF) of greater than or equal to 15 and exhibits a critical wavelength of greater than 370 nm, and converts from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear.
Abstract:
A cosmetic composition and a method of preparing the cosmetic composition are provided. The method includes mixing at least one sulfate-free surfactant, at least one thickener, at least one hydrophilic emollient to form a mixture; and adding solvent to the mixture. The cosmetic composition is a clear, flowable semi-solid, and converts to a non-flowable semi-solid upon rubbing.
Abstract:
A sunscreen composition having an oil phase comprising (i) at least one silicone elastomer gel comprising an emulsifying crosslinked silicone elastomer having both silicone chain branches and alkyl chain branches swelled in a non-polar, volatile swelling agent having a Hansen solubility parameter, delta a, of less than or equal to 5 and (ii) greater than about 10% by weight of the sunscreen composition, of at least one organic sunscreen active. The sunscreen composition further includes an aqueous phase comprising water. The sunscreen composition is a homogenous, water-in-oil emulsion that is storage stable.
Abstract:
A water-releasing sunscreen composition in the form of an emulsion and process for using the composition are provided. The composition includes an aqueous phase containing at least one water-soluble ingredient. The composition further includes an oil phase containing a first emulsifier and a liquid organic liposoluble UV filter. The liquid organic liposoluble UV filter is at a concentration from about 10% to about 25%. The composition includes a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase of about 1.0 to about 12.0. The sunscreen composition is stable, has a sun protection factor (SPF) of greater than or equal to 15 and converts from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear.
