COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS WITH REDUCED TACK

摘要

Cosmetic compositions in the form of oil-in-water emulsions are provided that comprise high levels of water-soluble skin benefit agents. The compositions herein have reduced tack that is associated with high levels of water-soluble skin benefit agents. The cosmetic compositions comprise cross-linked co-polymers that reduce the tack associated with such compositions, the cross-linked co-polymer comprising: i) from 35 % to 94.5 % water-soluble anionic acrylic monomers by weight of the cross-linked co-polymer; ii) from 5 % to 65 % water-soluble non-ionic acrylate monomers by weight of the cross-linked co-polymer; and iii) from 0.005 % to 0.5 % bifunctional monomeric crosslinking agent by weight of the cross-linked co-polymer; the composition further comprising greater than 10 % of a water-soluble skin benefit agent by weight of the composition. The composition of the present invention exhibit good stability, excellent skin feel characteristics and reduced tack or stickiness when topically applied to the skin.
