Topical compositions for application to the stratum corneum include a polyester and an active ingredient which is a chemical exfoliating agent, sunless tanning agent, skin lightening agent and/or an insect repellent. The polyester substantially retains the active ingredient on or in the stratum corneum. A method for improving the effect of the active ingredient in a topical composition includes providing a polyester which functions to substantially retain the active ingredient on or in the stratum corneum to improve the effect of the active ingredient.

Compositions and methods for improving the performance of chemical

Sunscreen formulations including functionalized polyesters and at least two organic active sunscreen ingredients are provided. One of the organic active ingredients is at least partially soluble in the other, and the organic active ingredients are compatible and co-soluble with the functionalized polyester. The functionalized polyesters are also included in sunscreen formulations as dispersing agents for inorganic active sunscreen ingredients.

Polyester-based suncreen formulations

A dry sunscreen composition comprising effective amounts of octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, homosalate, menthyl anthranilate, octocrylene, benzohenone-3, propylparaben, BHT, PVP/eicosene copolymer, octyldodecyl neopentanoate, C.sub.12-15 alcohols benzoate, titanium dioxide, and acrylates copolymer. A process for preparing a dry sunscreen composition that involves: combining effective amounts of octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, homosalate, menthyl anthranilate, octocrylene, benzohenone-3, propylparaben, BHT, and PVP/eicosene copolymer to form a first section of ingredients; heating the first section of ingredients to a sufficient temperature with substantially constant mixing until it becomes clear and homogenous; combining effective amounts of C.sub.12-15 alcohols benzoate, and octyldodecyl neopentanoate to form a second section of ingredients by mixing at substantially ambient temperature; adding effective amounts of titanium dioxide and coloring agent to the second section of ingredients by mixing at ambient temperature until it becomes a uniform paste; adding the uniform paste to the first section of ingredients to form a homogenous fluid; milling the homogenous fluid at a sufficient temperature until a predetermined size is obtained; heating the milled homogenous fluid to a predetermined temperature; adding a first amount of acrylates copolymer to the milled homogenous fluid and mixing to form a third section of ingredients; and adding the third section of ingredients to additional acrylates copolymer and mixing until it forms a homogenous dry sunscreen composition.
