Abstract: A combined insect repellent and sunscreen composition is disclosed including 3-9 % by weight in total of at least two emulsifiers, based on the total weight of the composition. The composition preferably comprises titanium dioxide as the inorganic compound and N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide and dipropyl pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate as insect repellents. A method of manufacturing a sunscreen composition is also disclosed. The composition including one or more insect repellents and one or more sunscreening agents, is the form of an emulsion having an oil phase and a water phase and is manufactured by preparing the oil phase and the water phase and combining to form an emulsion prior to the addition of at least one inorganic compound used as a sunscreening agent.

Abstract: An insecticidal composition in the form of an aerosol water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed which comprises:(a) an amount of an aqueous suspension of microencapsulated insecticide to give an insecticide concentration in the composition of from 0.001 to 5% w/w;(b) one or more solvents in an amount of from 1 to 20% w/w;(c) one or more emulsifiers in an amount of from 0.2 to 10% w/w and selected from the group comprising mono-, di-and tri-sorbitan esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters, mono- and poly-glycerol esters, ethoxylated nonionic emulsifiers, propoxylated nonionic emulsifiers and ethoxylated/propoxylated nonionic emulsifiers;(d) from 2 to 80% w/w of one or more propellants;(e) optionally from 0.001 to 5% w/w of one or more oil phase soluble insecticides; and(f) the balance being water.
