COMPOSITIONS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF SKIN MOISTURIZATION

摘要

The invention relates to skin moisturising compositions comprising upto 30% of coconut oil as a single active and cosmetically acceptable excipients, water, and optionally sensory modifiers wherein the said compositions retain moisturizing for substantially extended periods. The excipients are emulsifiers, structurants and thickeners. The sensory modifiers are preferably included in the compositions containing coconut oil from 10-30%. The invention also discloses a process for the preparation of moisturising compositions comprising steps! preparing a water phase by mixing water and preservatives followed by addition of thickener with heating upto 70°C; preparing an oil phase by mixing coconut oil, emulsifiers and structurants with heating upto 70°C; adding the heated oil phase to heated water phase followed by homogenization at temperatures upto 50 °C; adding neutralizer followed by the optional addition of a sensory modifier with heating upto 50 °C.
