Viscous alcohol-containing sunscreen compositions

摘要

The present disclosure provides a composition that maintains a high and desirable viscosity while having a high amount of alcohol. Suitable thickeners and gelling agents are mixed with the alcohol to achieve this effect. An emulsion stabilizer can also be added. These components can also be combined with a sunscreen. The resulting composition provides benefits such as cooling and desirable skin feel, but is still easily spreadable and viscous enough to function effectively as a sunscreen.

主权项

1. A sunscreen composition, comprising:
0.1 to 10 percent, based on the weight of the total composition, of a rheology modifying agent selected from the group consisting of a copolymer of acryloyldimethyltaurine and vinylpyrrolidone, a copolymer of acrylic acid and vinylpyrrolidone, acrylic-based anionic polymers, carbomers, and any combinations thereof; 0.01 to 5 percent, based on the total weight of the composition, of a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, polysaccharide gums, and a combination thereof; and 10 to 40 percent, based on the total weight of the composition, of an aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a mixture thereof; 5 to 30 percent, based on the total weight of the composition, of a sunscreen active; and 0.01 to 5 percent, based on a total weight of the composition, of an emulsion stabilizer comprising natural fibers,wherein said composition provides a cooling sensation when rubbed on a user's skin.
