  • Aqueous cosmetic composition comprising porous silica particles and at least one humectant
    Publication number: 20050100565
    Abstract: An aqueous composition for the skin, comprising porous silica particles having an oil absorption capacity of at least four times by weight their own weight, at least one humectant, and at least 20% water, wherein the porous silica particles and the at least one humectant are present in a combined amount effective to provide moisturization and oil absorption to the skin. Also, a method for providing moisturization and oil absorption to skin by applying the inventive composition to the skin.

  • Cosmetic compositions containing di-block, tri-block, multi-block and radial block copolymers
    Patent number: 6827928
    Abstract: The subject-matter of the present invention is a transfer-free composition comprising (a) at least one of a di-block, tri-block, multi-block and/or radial block copolymer and optionally (b) a film former or a mixture of film formers. The composition may comprise any one of a di-block, tri-block, multi-block or radial block copolymer or any mixture or blend of co-polymers. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention result in a film with very good retention, good transfer resistant properties, and which does not migrate over time. The compositions have cosmetic properties which are improved in relation to those of the “transfer free” products of the prior art.
