Abstract:
Provided is a method of formulating hydrophobic pesticides comprising emulsifying an aqueous phase and a water-immiscible phase to form a formulation; wherein the aqueous phase is comprised of water and optionally a freeze/thaw agent, one or more emulsifiers, or combinations thereof, and the water-immiscible phase comprises the hydrophobic pesticide and one or more emulsifiers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to synthetic fatty phosphoric acid esters which when neutralized with a neutralizing agent fonctions as a surface active agent. Neutralizing agents include sodium and potassium carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates and sodium borates. Said surface active agents may be used to prepare stable oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions, and various solutions of varying polarity and viscosity; particularly for use in various dermatological applications.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical systems, and methods for enhanced absorption of hydrophilic therapeutic agents. Compositions and systems of the present invention include an absorption enhancing carrier, where the carrier is formed from a combination of at least two surfactants, at least one of which is hydrophilic. A hydrophilic therapeutic agent can be incorporated into the composition, or can be co-administered with the composition as part of a pharmaceutical system. The invention also provides methods of treatment with hydrophilic therapeutic agents using these compositions and systems.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a single phase emulsifiable concentrate composition comprising (a) between about 0.05 and about 25 wt.% of a biologically, fungicidally and/or herbicidally active aza compound; (b) between about 2 and about 40 wt.% of a lactam selected from the group of N-methyl pyrrolidone, N-methyl caprolactam, a C8 to C18 alkyl pyrrolidone, a C8 to C18 caprolactam and a mixture thereof; (c) between about 2 and about 20 wt.% of a moisture scavenging agent selected from the group consisting of a liquid molecularly hindered carbodiimide, a molecular sieve or a mixture thereof and (d) between about 10 and about 80 wt.% of a mixture of at least two non-ionic surfactants having an overall hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) above 7. The invention also relates to the stable oil-in-water (o/w) miniemulsions prepared from the above by dilution to between about 40 and about 99.99 wt.% water for a "pour on", dip or spray solution useful in the treatment of animals or plants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to emulsifier-free cosmetic or dermatological preparations representing finely dispersed systems of the water-in-oil type, containing 1) an oil phase 2) a water phase and 3) one or more types of micronized, inorganic pigments having a) an average particle size of less than 200 nm, and whose particles have b) both hydrophile and lipophile properties, and thus have an amphiphilic character and are arranged along the water/oil interface surface, and which c) are chosen from the metal oxide group, which d) optionally have a surface coating; as well as optionally containing other cosmetic or pharmaceutical auxiliary agents, additives and/or active agents.

Abstract:
A lotion such as a sunscreen includes a pH indicator which colorizes the lotion until the lotion is applied to the human skin, whereinafter the colored lotion turns clear. A physiologically compatible pH indicator such as phenolphthalein is used which has a red appearance from pH 7.5+ and which has a clear appearance from about pH 7.0 to 7.5, the general pH range of the skin. The invention is suitable for use in any lotion, gel, mousse or medication that is best applied in an even and uniform manner to the skin. Accordingly, one preferred use of the invention is in UV-protecting sunscreens so that a user can ensure even distribution of the sunscreen on the body. In certain aspects of the invention, a cap houses the pH indicator and attaches to a container of the lotion, e.g., a sunscreen. The pH indicator mixes with the lotion as it is applied to the skin. The invention further provides methods of manufacturing sunscreens and the like with a pH indicator that turns substantially colorless upon application to the skin.
Abstract:
A stable, efficacious therapeutic cream wherein principal therapeutic compounds are one or more C-20 to C-28 long chain aliphatic alcohols, of which n-docosanol is exemplary, comprising sucrose cocoate, sucrose stearates or sucrose distearate, or mixtures thereof, is disclosed.
