WATER IN OIL EMULSION COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SUNSCREEN ACTIVES AND SILOXANE ELASTOMERS

摘要

The present invention relates to water in oil emulsion compositions suitable for use as sunscreen comprising: from about 0.1% to about 15% of an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer; from about 1% to about 40% of a solvent for the emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer; from about 0.01% to about 5% of an additional emulsifier; from about 50% to about 99% of aqueous phase; and from about 0.01% to about 30% of a sunscreen active; wherein when shear stress is applied to the composition during spreading on skin, aqueous phase is released from the emulsion.
