An oil-in-water emulsion for treating the skin comprising from about 2 to about 10 weight percent of a cationic emulsifier such as dimethyl distearyl ammonium halide, a substantially nonionizable humectant such as glycerine and a weakly acidic material having a disassociation constant of about I to 6. The amount of weakly acidic material is such that the pH of the finished emulsion is about 2.5 to 4.5. also disclosed is a method of preparing the emulsion.

Skin care composition

The present invention is a topical film-forming composition comprising; (a) a non-toxic volatile solvent, (b) a cellulosic material having at least one hydroxyl group on a side chain of a cellulose backbone, (c) an esterification agent capable of reacting with said hydroxyl group on the side chain of said cellulosic material to form an ester, and (d) a glycerol monolaurate crosslinking agent. Various medicinal, antibiotic, anitfungal, anesthetic, analgesic and virucidal agents may be included within the composition.

Topical film-forming compositions

There is disclosed a method for treating skin along with a novel skin care composition comprising the following components in a suitable carrier:

Skin care composition including cyclodextrin materials and method for

The present invention is a skin care composition which provides a high degree of moisturization without leaving a 'tacky' residue on treated skin. The subject composition comprises; (a) from about 2 to about 10 weight percent of a quaternary ammonium compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each alkyl groups having from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each lower alkyl groups having from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, and X is a salt-forming anion, (b) from about 1 to about 40 weight percent of a humectant, and (c) from about 0.01 to about 5 weight percent of non-irritating hydrophobic polymeric microspheres having an average particle size of less than about 50 microns.

The amount of weakly acidic material is such that the pH of the finished emulsion is about 2.5 to 4.5. Also disclosed is a method of preparing the emulsion.

The present invention is directed to a method of forming an oil-in-water emulsion containing water-insoluble components, a water-soluble humectant, a weakly acidic component such as an alpha-hydroxy acid and a quaternary ammonium cationic emulsifier. The emulsion is used as a stable skin care cream.
