Title: Emulsification systems and emulsions

Application No.: US2001-0865296 Applic. Date: 2001-05- 29

Abstract: Personal care or cosmetic oil in water emulsions include an oil emulsifier and a combination of a Xanthan polysaccharide and a polyglucomannan polysaccharide to provide enhanced stability even at low emulsifier stabiliser levels. The emulsifier stabiliser system provides stable emulsions without dominating system rheology, particularly viscosity. Thus, the emulsions can have a low viscosity suitable for formulation as milks or thin lotions, or can be thickened, desirably by thickening agents other than the Xanthan and/or polyglucomannan, to provide emulsion creams or gels. This enables the system to be used very flexibly in end use applications.; The emulsifier is desirably a non-ionic emulsifier and particularly is a combination of a low HLB and a high HLB emulsifier and can be formulated with conventional alcohol ethoxylate surfactants or from non-EO surfactants e.g. sucrose ester high HLB surfactants and citrate or sorbitan ester low HLB surfactants.

However, such emulsions tend to lose clarity or structural strength during storage. Deviating from alpha-cellobiose octanonanoate can result in impaired clarity and/or impaired hardness of emulsion sticks. However, acylated cellobiose which contains acyl substituents of formula -O- CO-R in which R represents an n-octyl residue and the percentage Y of the nonanoate acyl substituent -O-CO-R at the anomeric carbon is at least 60% and the percentage A of alpha anomer is greater than the anomer and not higher than A=74.5 +0.2Y when Y is up to 92% and not higher than A=161-0.74Y when Y is greater than 92% offers the production of sticks combining structurant stability with product clarity and hardness.

Abstract: A device for containing and dispensing a fluid product, such as a cosmetic product, in the form of a spray. The device includes a reservoir containing the product at substantially atmospheric pressure, with the reservoir having flexible walls that preferably do not have shape memory. The device is equipped with a spray member for spraying the product in response to pressure exerted on the flexible walls of the reservoir, and an anti-air-intake element provided in order to prevent any entry of air inside the reservoir when said pressure ceases. When pressure is applied, the walls are deformed and the product is sprayed from the container. After dispensing is completed, the walls are maintained in the deformed state because air is prevented from entering the container.; As a result, the next spraying action occurs more immediately and consistently because the container remains substantially filled with the product as the volume of the container is reduced upon deformation of the container walls.

Application No.: US2003-0337513 Applic. Date: 2003-01 -07

Abstract: The present invention features a sustained-release microcapsule for long-term pest controlling. In general, a microcapsule has a capsule core including active pest-control ingredients and diluents, and a capsule shell which physically separates the capsule core from the surrounding medium. Diluents are arranged to entrap active ingredients therein and to provide resistance to mass transfer of the active ingredients therethrough. The capsule shell generally includes the shell pores and provides additional resistance to mass transfer of the active ingredient therethrough. Diluents are selected from a class of material such that the mass transfer resistances existing in the capsule core and/or capsule shell depend on the temperature of the surrounding medium.

Application No.: US2002-0310824 Applic. Date: 2002-12-06

Abstract: Disclosed herein are chemopreventive methods and topical formulations for the prevention and treatment of ultraviolet light-induced skin cancers, pre- cancerous lesions, and hyperproliferative disorders in mammals, such as humans, utilizing doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Low doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are present in the topical formulations and allow continued regular use over an extended period of time to prevent such disorders. In particular, the present invention is particularly suitable for non-melanoma skin cancers as these cancers tend to appear in areas of the skin that have had excess sun exposure (head, neck and arms) meaning that the chemopreventive agent would not need to be applied over the entire body of the typical patient.; Moreover, it is possible to identify "high-risk" individuals within the populations because people who report one episode of NMSC tend to have a high incidence of a subsequent episode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new method for determination of realistic UV protection factors or bread spectrum indices of a sunscreen preparation. Realistic UV protection factors are calculable by determination of the theoretical and the experimental UV absorbances of known UV filters in wavelength steps of about 5 nm in the range of 290-400 nm from a definite basic formulation (emulsion, gel etc.) and on a transparent substrate and introducing of the values in a mathematical model. These factors are in conformity with values measured in vivo. The number of the experiments for developing new formulations are significant reduced because only basic formulation, kind and concentration of the filters have to enter.

The high cationic charge density of the nanosphere improves deposition of active ingredients onto skin.; The high cationic charge density on the nanosphere surface is created by incorporating a cationic conditioning agent into the solid hydrophobic matrix of the nanospheres, by incorporating a cationic charge "booster" in the moisture sensitive microsphere matrix, or by using a cationic conditioning agent in the nanosphere matrix in conjunction with a cationic charge "booster" in the microsphere matrix. The invention also pertains to soap products comprising the controlled release system of the present invention.

Title: Use of cyclic 2,4-diphosphoclycerates (cdgp) and/or derivatives thereof in cosmetic and dermatological formulations

Application No.: US2003-0344969 Applic. Date: 2003-06-06

Abstract: The invention relates to the inclusion of the low molecular weight substance (compatible solute), cyclic 2,4-diphosphoglycerate (cDGP), from extremophilic micro-organisms and/or derivatives of said compound, for example, an acid, a salt, or an ester, in cosmetic or dermatological formulations for protection of the skin from environmental influences and to increase the regeneration capacity. According to the invention, cyclic 2,4-diphosphoglycerate is implicated in active cell protection of the endogenous cell radical traps, antioxidants, the DNA, cell membranes and further cell compartments, by means of a protective effect of the above, against damaging environmental effects, for example, UV radiation, IR radiation, and environmental stress (thermal, chemical and physical).; The compatible solute may serve as co-solvent and penetration improver for other active ingredients added to the cosmetic formulation, in order to not only stabilise the above in the cosmetic formulation, but also for active transport into deeper skin layers.
