A sunscreen cosmetic composition is provided which is a water and emollient oil emulsion containing an inorganic sunscreen agent such as titanium dioxide with a relatively large particle size ranging from about 0.1 to 20 micron and an organic sunscreen agent. High levels of sunscreen activity are achievable without any significant adverse effect on emulsion aesthetics.

Sunscreen cosmetic composition

A skin treatment composition is provided which includes a crosslinked non-emulsifying siloxane elastomer, a skin conditioning agent, a volatile siloxane and no more than 5% water. Hydrocarbons such as petrolatum and polyols such as glycerin are the preferred skin conditioning agents. Inclusion of the elastomer provides a non-traditional smooth/silky feel to the skin upon application with a non-draggy rub in.

Anhydrous cosmetic compositions

A skin treatment composition is provided which includes a crosslinked non-emulsifying siloxane elastomer, a volatile siloxane and at least 50% by weight of water. Inclusion of the elastomer provides a unique liquid/powdery feel when rubbed into the skin.

Crosslinked elastomeric silicones in aqueous emulsion cosmetic

A cosmetic composition is provided whose major component is petroleum jelly and incorporates a C.sub.18 -C.sub.30 acyl lactylate. Most preferred is behenoyl lactylate. Relatively nongreasy and easily spreadable compositions result which have improved skin healing, moisturization and other skin benefit properties.

Petroleum butter

A cosmetic composition is provided that includes a C.sub.2 -C.sub.22 .alpha.-hydroxy carboxylic acid or salt thereof dispersed within petroleum jelly with the aid of a phosphatide. Additional components may include a sterol and a C.sub.10 -C.sub.22 fatty acid.

Petroleum jelly with alpha hydroxy carboxylic acids

A cosmetic composition is described that includes an aqueous combination of petroleum jelly, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate and a C.sub.12 -C.sub.15 alkyl lactate. The composition provides petroleum jelly in a nongreasy but efficacious form to counteract skin dryness.

Petroleum jelly cream

A nail polish or lacquer removing composition is provided that includes a volatile organic solvent such as acetone, gelatin and glycerin present to stably suspend the gelatin in the solvent.
