Abstract:
A makeup removal composition includes at least one silicone crosspolymer-based emulsifier, at least one polyglyceryl ester with HLB less than 10, at least one branched or linear liquid alkane with carbon chain length of C11 to C20, at least one polar emollient ester with carbon chain length of C12 to C24, water, or water and a water-based hydrating agent or solvent or combination thereof, and, optionally one or more additives.
Abstract:
Cosmetic compositions in the form of stable, pleasant feeling W/O or W/Si emulsions include an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The oil phase includes at least one silicone elastomer gel comprising at least one emulsifying elastomer, and at least one non-swelling non-emulsifying silicone elastomer. The composition also includes at least one stabilizing agent/spherical powder, water, and one or more additional components selected from actives and other additives. The compositions provide a smooth, non-greasy, silky feel when applied to the skin and other keratinous tissues, and impart to the skin a soft focus or hazy effect and the appearance of an even complexion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to systems and methods for improving the appearance of the skin. The systems comprise 1) a skin-tightening composition comprising (a) at least one film former; (b) at least one polyvalent silicate thickener; (c) at least one anionic associative polymeric thickener; (d) at least one plasticizer; and (e) optionally, at least one cosmetic powder, and 2) a long-wear cosmetic composition comprising at least one silicone-polyamide copolymer, at least one silicone film former, and at least one volatile oil. Methods comprise applying the compositions of the systems on to the skin sequentially after a drying period.
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 composition for imparting anti-aging benefits onto skin containing: (a) an aqueous phase containing: (i) from about 0.5% to 10% by weight, of at least one water-soluble active ingredient; and (ii) water; and (b) an oil phase containing: (iii) at least one emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer; (iv) from about 0.1% to 1% by weight, of at least one oil-soluble active ingredient; (v) wax; and (vi) oil; all weights based on the total weight of the composition.
Abstract:
A water releasing composition in the form of an emulsion and process for using the composition are provided. The composition includes an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The aqueous phase includes at least one water-soluble active ingredient at a concentration by weight of from about 0.1% to about 20%, based upon weight of the composition. The oil phase includes dimethicone at a concentration by weight of about 1% to about 25%, and an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer at a concentration by weight of about 0.1% to about 20%, both based upon weight of the composition. The composition has a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase of about 3.0 to about 12.0. The composition converts from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear.
Abstract:
A water-releasing photoprotection composition in the form of an emulsion and process for preparing the photoprotection composition are provided. The photoprotection composition includes an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The aqueous phase includes at least one water-soluble UV filter. The oil phase includes dimethicone and an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer. The photoprotection composition has a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase of from about 3 to about 12. The photoprotection composition converts from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear.
