摘要:
There is provided a sunscreen emulsion composition. The composition has an inner discontinuous phase and an outer continuous phase. The inner discontinuous phase and/or outer continuous phase has a sunscreen active therein. The inner discontinuous phase is generally dispersed in the outer continuous phase and is in the form of discrete droplets having a multimodal droplet size distribution. There is also provided a method of protecting skin from overexposure to the sun in which the above composition is applied topically to the skin. There is also provided a method of enhancing the performance of a sunscreen emulsion by forming the inner discontinuous phase as a multiplicity of droplets having a multimodal droplet size distribution. There is also provided a method of preparing an emulsifier-free sunscreen composition.
摘要:
There is provided a photostable and synergistically enhanced topical sunscreen composition. There is further provided a method of enhancing the photostability of a sunscreen active in a topical sunscreen composition. There is further still provided a method of synergistically enhancing the UV absorbance of a sunscreen active in a topical sunscreen composition. The preferred compositions and methods of the present invention use a dibenzoylmethane sunscreen active, a Kaempferia galanga extract, and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel aryl benzimidazole sulfonic acid esters and cosmetic compositions that employ the novel aryl benzimidazole sulfonic acid esters as sunscreens. The cosmetic compositions can be water, organic solvent or emulsion based. Also provided are methods of using the compositions to protect skin from exposure to the sun, and optionally, repel insects.
摘要:
There are provided topical compositions having reversible visible change in color in response to change in light. The compositions comprise color changing capability provided by photochromic material and a vehicle acceptable for topical application to the skin or hair.

There is provided a photostable and synergistically enhanced topical sunscreen composition that provides increased substantivity, waterproofness, sweat resistance and rub off resistance. There is further provided methods of enhancing the photostability of a sunscreen active in a topical sunscreen composition, synergistically enhancing the UV absorbance of a topical sunscreen composition having a sunscreen active, and enhancing the substantivity, waterproofness, sweat resistance and rub off resistance in a topical sunscreen composition. The preferred compositions and methods have a sunscreen active, a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, and novel 2-substituted-3,3-diaryl-2-propenoic acid derivatives with [A] a C16 to C50 straight or branched chain, substituted or un-substituted, conjugated or non-conjugated hydrocarbon, or [B] a siloxane, polysiloxane, organo-modified polysiloxane residue, a group represented by the formula R10[Si(R10)2]n— and R11 which is a silicone residue derived from a silicone represented by the formula R11OH having a molecular weight up to about 30,000, wherein each R10 is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, aryl and aryloxy and n is from 1 to about 500.
摘要:
Disclosed is an insect repellent composition. The composition has an amount of an insect repellent active effective to repel insects when the composition is applied to the skin, and an amount of a urethane polymer sufficient to form a film on the surface of the skin. The composition also has a cosmetically-acceptable vehicle. Also disclosed is a method of repelling insects from the skin by applying the composition to the skin.
摘要:
Disclosed is an aerosol insect repellent composition. The composition has (a) an amount of an insect repellent effective to repel insects when applied to the skin and (b) a cosmetically-acceptable vehicle in which to disperse and deliver the insect repellent active. The vehicle has (i) a VOC component capable of volatilizing upon exposure to a reduction in pressure for delivering the composition in an aerosol form, and (ii) a non-VOC component. The aerosol composition has a VOC content of not greater than about 55 wt. % based upon the weight of the aerosol composition. Further disclosed is a method of repelling insects from skin wherein the aerosol composition is applied to or sprayed on the skin.
