Gel Technology Suitable for Use in Cosmetic Compositions

摘要

A gel system comprising a fractal network of nanoparticles and macroscopic particles is disclosed. The gel system is capable of forming an “optical gel” effective to blurrfine lines and wrinkles as a consequence of the size domain differences between the fractal particles and the macroscopic particles. Cosmetic compositions comprising such gels and methods for their use are also disclosed.

主权项

1. A method for optically blurring the appearance of skin imperfections selected from the group consisting of wrinkles, fine lines, and pores comprising the step of applying to the skin gel comprising (a) a fractal network of nanoparticles dispersed in a suitable medium such that the nanoparticles coalesce to form the fractal network; and; (b) translucent macroscopic elastomeric particles enveloped in said fractal network of nanoparticles; where the refractive index of the nanoparticles does not match the refractive index of the macroscopic particles; and wherein the gel is anhydrous.
