Application No.: 12/156966   Filing Date: 06/Jun/2008

Abstract:

There is provided a body wash composition that includes sun screen materials. The body wash composition is formulated so that it may be applied during normal hygiene activities, such as washing. However, the composition applies an effective of sun screen material to the body such that the sun screen continues to provide effective solar protection even after rinsing or washing of the human body. Further, the material is a non greasy, easy to apply material that may be used during showering activities in a manner similar to a bar soap or cleanser. The composition includes a variety of materials that assist in the processing and storage of the body wash. Effective amounts of solar protective material include octyl methoxycinamate, octyl salycilate, and titanium dioxide. Testing shows that the product provides a solar protective level of at least approximately 14 even after multiple rinsings.

Title: Anhydrous cosmetic compositions comprising at least one polymeric gelling agent, at least one non-volatile oil, and poly(methyl methacrylate) particles

Applicant/Assignee: L'OREAL S.A

Application No.: 11/099556   Filing Date: 06/Apr/2005

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to anhydrous compositions for making up or caring for the skin, for example foundations, comprising at least one liquid organic phase comprising at least one non-volatile oil, at least one amorphous gelling polymer formed by polymerization of an olefin, and poly(methyl methacrylate) particles, wherein the amount of the at least one non-volatile oil present in the composition is greater than the amount of poly(methyl methacrylate) particles present in the composition. The compositions may exhibit a smooth and melting creamy texture, spread easily over the skin, and make it possible to obtain a homogeneous make-up that has a powdery and matt finish and that confers a pleasant softness on the skin. The make-up may also exhibit good properties of hold.
