In accordance with the present invention there is provided an oil-in-water emulsion sunscreen composition comprising (a) a UV active, (b) a first emulsifier having an HLB value less than 5 and (c) optionally a second emulsifier having an HLB value greater than 5 present in an amount of less than 0.2% w/w of the composition. The oil-in-water sunscreen composition is characterized by the absence of an emulsifiable polymer and is capable of providing little to no whitening when applied to wet skin.

Oil-in-water emulsion sunscreen composition

A substantially anhydrous thickener system in the form of a gel for use in oral care compositions comprising: carboxymethyl cellulose or its salts thereof, a chelating agent, and hydroxyethyl cellulose, in a solvent system, wherein the thickener system is heated to a temperature ranging from about 70° C. to about 120° C. to form the gel. A method of preparing the thickener system for use in oral care compositions comprises the steps of: a) charging a mixture of hydroxyethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose into a reaction container, b) dissolving the mixture of a) in a solvent system, c) charging a chelating agent into b), and d) heating the resultant of c) to a temperature of 70°-120° C. for at least about 10 minutes.

Thickener systems for oral care compositions and a method for preparing the same

Compositions comprising sun-care actives and self adapting polymers are disclosed. Self adapting polymers align themselves with the hydrophilic group pointing to the surface during application thus delivering an aesthetically pleasing surface to the consumers with a pleasant after feel. These polymers then rearrange upon contact with water so that the hydrophobic groups now point to the surface which then increases the water resistance of the formulation.

Self adapting polymers for anhydrous sunscreen formulations

A photo protective topical composition, comprising: (i) at least one functional active; and (ii) at least one solubilizing compound having the structure of Formula I: wherein R is C-Ccycloalkyl or linear or branched alkylcycloalkyl, wherein the ring size is C-C; R, R, and Rare each independently selected from the group consisting of H, and linear or branched C-Calkyl, provided that at least two of R, R, Rare H; wherein the solubilizing compound is present in an amount effective to solubilize said functional active. Also disclosed is a method for treating skin, lips, nails, hair, ears, eyelashes, eyebrows and/or scalp with an effective amount of composition.

Solubilizing agents for active or functional organic compounds

Sun-care products are described that protect from UV radiation and do not turn white when applied to wet skin. The sun-care product may comprise (A) a cosmetically-acceptable, substantially non-aqueous vehicle, and (B) a UV active, wherein said non-aqueous vehicle comprises alcohol in an amount of 50% (w/w) or less based on the weight of the sun-care product and an ester wherein said non-aqueous vehicle comprises at least 10%&#x3e;by weight esters based on the total weight of the non-aqueous vehicle and said sun-care product is substantially non-whitening upon application to wet skin.

Clear wet sprays and gels

The invention provides polymers comprising repeating units derived from (a) from 16% by weight to about 35% by weight of said polymer of at least one N-vinyl lactam monomer; (b) at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of functionalized and unfunctionalized C-Calkyl (meth)acrylates, C-Calkyl (meth)acrylamides and combinations thereof; and (c) at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of functionalized and unfunctionalized C-Cbranched alkyl (meth)acrylates, C-Cbranched alkyl (meth)acrylamides, and combinations thereof; wherein the polymer has a glass transition temperature of greater than about 45&#xb0; C. The invention further provides various compositions, such as, personal care, sun care, coatings, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the polymers described herein. The invention furthermore provides water-resistant sun care compositions comprising the polymers described herein. Subscripts x, y and z are described herein. (Formula (I)) 

Vinyl lactam-derived polymers, compositions thereof having enhanced water-resistance, and methods of use thereof

Disclosed are new and improved antiperspirant/deodorant compositions and methods of reducing perspiration, where the new and improved antiperspirant/deodorant compositions contain a water dispersible organic polymer and can reduce the concentration of active antiperspirant ingredients while maintaining antiperspirant efficacy.

Antiperspirant/deodorant compositions

A sun-care composition having an SPF value of at least 15 comprising: (a) one or more sun care actives including a &#xf3;w-resorcinyl triazine compound; (b) an acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer; and (c) a pharmaceutically/cosmetically/dermatologically acceptable vehicle.
