Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising (i) 1 to 30 wt % of a non-hydrocarbon emollient; and (ii) 2 to 60 wt % of a blend of silicone elastomer gel of the Formula (I) and solvent; wherein the solvent for the silicone elastomer gel is selected from cyclic or linear polydimethylsiloxanes; wherein the w/w ratio of the amount of the non-hydrocarbon emollient to the combined amounts of the silicone elastomer gel and said solvent is from 1:50 to 1:1 and where the amount of the non-hydrocarbon emollient is less than the amount of the silicone elastomer gel; and wherein the composition comprises less than 2 wt % capric caprylic triglycerides and less than 5 wt % crosslinked elastomeric silicone polyether, wherein said non-hydrocarbon emollient is an alkenyl or alkyl ester of a C10-20 fatty acid, an ether-ester, a polyhydric alcohol ester, a wax ester, a mono-, di- or triglyceride, a sterol ester, a fatty alcohol, a fatty acid, lanolin or its derivative, wax ester, a phospholipid, beeswax or a sterol.

Cosmetic compositions comprising silicone elastomer and emollient

A method for preparing silicone elastomers containing hydrophilic skin actives with excellent characteristics is described. The elastomer shows enhanced efficacy with respect to the skin actives compared to skin care compositions formulated with individual elastomer and active components. Skin care compositions containing the inventive silicone elastomers and methods of skin treatment are also described.

Process for preparing a silicone elastomer with hydrophilic actives and a personal care composition containing the elastomer

Non-solid skin conditioning compositions comprising 12-hydroxy stearic acid, aminosilicone and water are disclosed. The compositions have a relatively low viscosity and are suitable for spreading on the skin.

Skin conditioning compositions containing 12-hydroxystearic acid

Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning compositions comprising 12-hydroxy stearic acid. Compositions contain 12HSA, yet have a relatively low viscosity, so are suitable for spreading on the skin, and are stable on storage and structurally reversible through temperature cycling.

Leave-on nonsolid skin conditioning compositions containing 12-hydroxystearic acid and ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a triglyceride, a castor oil, glycerin, and a polyglyceryl ricinoleate. The composition is a vegetable sourced alternative to petrolatum and has been found to be an excellent moisturizing composition and delivering good skinfeel properties and lustre to skin.

Vegetable sourced petrolatum cosmetic

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a crosslinked silicone elastomer, a zinc oxide or zirconium oxide of average particle size less than 300 nm and a light reflecting inorganic material of platelet shaped particles having an average particle size of about 10,000 to about 30,000 nm, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier system. The composition achieves soft focus and radiance properties which improve the appearance of skin. Good coverage over imperfections such as pores and uneven skin tone is achieved while retaining a natural skin appearance.

Pigmented cosmetic composition exhibiting radiance with soft focus

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a chemically modified starch which is preferably a hydroxypropyl di-starch phosphate or an acetylated di-starch adipate, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram. The composition has a silky sensory feel and exhibits a positive normal force, preferably ranging from about +0.5 to about +5 grams. The glycerin to chemically modified starch is present in a weight ratio ranging from about 100:1 to about 2:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Silky feel cosmetic emulsion chassis based on glycerin and chemically modified starch

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a copolymer which is preferably a C-Cacrylates crosspolymer, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram, wherein the composition has a normal force of from about +5 to about +50 grams thereby achieving a silky sensory feel on skin, the glycerin to copolymer being present in a weight ratio ranging from about 350:1 to about 10:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Silky feel cosmetic emulsion chassis

A cosmetic water-in-oil composition is provided which includes a water-in-oil emulsifying silicone surfactant, an ultrafine titanium dioxide and conjugated linoleic acid. The presence of conjugated linoleic acid stabilizes the composition against color degradation and also maintains an approximately steady viscosity.

Cosmetic emulsions with inorganic sunscreens stabilized with conjugated linoleic acid

A cosmetic water-in-oil composition is provided which includes a water-in-oil emulsifying silicone surfactant, crosslinked silicone elastomer and conjugated linoleic acid. The conjugated linoleic acid functions to improve radiance on facial surfaces to which the composition is topically applied.

Oil continuous phase cosmetic emulsions with conjugated linoleic acid

A cosmetic water-in-oil composition is provided which includes a water-in-oil emulsifying silicone surfactant, organic sunscreen agent and conjugated linoleic acid. The conjugated linoleic acid functions to moderate shine on facial surfaces to which the organic sunscreen agent formulated composition is topically applied.

Cosmetic emulsions with sunscreens and conjugated linoleic acid

A cosmetic product and method for imparting a natural-appearing tan to skin is provided, the product being in the form of a multi-compartment dispenser. A first and second substance are stored in separate compartments of the dispenser, at least one of the substances including a silicone. Additionally, the first substance contains an alpha-hydroxy aldehyde such as dihydroxyacetone and the second substance contains at least one amino acid.

Self-tanner cosmetic compositions

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes green tea and a sunscreen compound which is effective to at least partially block ultraviolet radiation from harming human skin, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
