Also provided is a method of prolonging the physical stability of a film-former on the skin by applying to the skin a self-healing composition containing the film-former and a porous polymeric release system comprising a solvent for the film-former. | 11-19-2009 |
20100040696 | Composite Particles Having An Antioxidant-Based Protective System, And Topical Compositions Comprising The Same - The present invention relates to topical compositions containing a dispersion of composite particles. Each of such composite particles contains one or more core particles encapsulated or entrapped in a polymeric shell. At least some of the core particles are formed of a material capable of causing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Each of the composite particles further contains: (1) a first antioxidant co-encapsulated or co-entrapped with the core particles inside the polymeric shell for quenching or scavenging ROS generated in the vicinity of the core particles, and (2) a second antioxidant coated over the polymeric shell for preventing or reducing oxidative damage to the skin, such as lipid peroxidation. The particle dispersion of the present invention therefore can be readily formulated into topical sunscreen compositions with organic sunscreen agents susceptible to oxidative decomposition or degradation to provide improved protection against skin damage caused by exposure to UV light. | 02-18-2010 |
20110044919 | Compositions With Perfluorinated Ingredients - The invention is directed to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one perfluorinated component and at least one aromatic component, wherein the aromatic component is present in an amount sufficient to compatibilize the fluorinated component in the cosmetic composition; transfer resistant, long wearing or other types of cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions containing the components and a method for compatibilizing a fluorinated component in a cosmetic composition using an aromatic component, and cosmetic compositions containing at least one perfluorinated amide. | 02-24-2011 |
20120015010 | Compositions Comprising Pigment Particles Entrapped In Collapsed Polymeric Microspheres, And Methods Of Making The Same - Topical compositions containing pigment particles entrapped in microspheres are provided. Each of the microspheres contains a collapsed polymeric shell that has entrapped therein one or more pigment particles. The microsphere-entrapped pigment particles are characterized by enhanced color intensity, improved stability, and better dispersibility, which can readily be used either alone or in combination with other skin active ingredients to form better colored cosmetics. | 01-19-2012 |

20130071453 | Compositions Comprising Solid Particles Entrapped In Collapsed Polymeric Microspheres, And Methods Of Making The Same - The present invention relates to topical compositions containing solid particles that are stabilized via entrapment by microspheres and methods for making the same. Each of the microspheres contains a collapsed polymeric shell that has entrapped therein one or more solid particles. The solid particles are preferably formed of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide or both, which can readily be used either alone or in combination with other sunscreen agents to form sunscreen compositions of broader UV protection spectrum and enhanced photostability. | 03-21-2013 |
20130156830 | Composite Particles, Compositions And Methods - Composite particulates, topical composition containing composite particulates, methods for improving the appearance of skin depth, dimensionality or undertones; a method for improving the ashy, chalky or mask-like appearance of color cosmetic compositions on the skin; and a method for reducing the number of shades in a color cosmetic shade range by formulating the cosmetic with composite particulates. | 06-20-2013 |
20130194261 | System For Skin Treatment Analysis Using Spectral Image Data To Generate 3D RGB Model - A method is provided for tracking and analyzing changing skin conditions and displaying such conditions in an RGB image format on a three dimensional virtual model to facilitate research and consumer communication. The system involves building a catalog, library or database of skin conditions in the form of datasets taken from spectral images that include the skin conditions of interest. For each spectral image dataset identifying a skin condition of interest a corresponding RGB dataset is calculated and compiled in a database. The database of calculated RGB datasets is used to diagnose skin conditions of subjects by analyzing RGB or spectral photographs of the subject. The spectral or RGB data sets can also be used to predict the effects of proposed treatments and the resulting altered skin condition can be displayed in RGB images that are readily comprehended. | 08-01-2013 |

20140304629 | SKIN DIAGNOSTIC AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS, APPARATUS AND ARTICLES - Skin diagnostic techniques employed in conjunction with image processing techniques. For example, a user information module captures a user skin image. A graphical user interface enables selection of a skin-related application from a plurality of skin-related applications. A processor determines user skin image data from the user skin image, and identifies one or more sets of skin image data in the skin image database that correspond to the user skin image data based on one or more parameters specified by the skin-related application. The processor applies at least one image processing filter that corresponds to the one or more identified sets of skin image data from the skin image database to the user skin image to generate a simulated user skin image. An output display displays the simulated user skin image. | 10-09-2014 |
