  • Optically diffusing particles
    Patent number: 10675225
    Abstract: A soft-focus composition comprises particles. The particles comprise a substrate with a metal oxide coating. The metal oxide coating covers from about 50% to about 75% of the surface area of the substrate. The particles have a span of from about 0.1 to about 2.1. From about 50% to about 75% of the particles are platelet shaped and the remainder are at least one different shape. This soft-focus composition can be used in cosmetic and personal care formulations to impart a soft-focus effect on the skin to hide fine lines and blemishes while allowing the natural glow of the skin to shine through.

  • COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING LOW LEVELS OF COLORANT TO ENHANCE SKIN APPEARANCE
    Publication number: 20150132236
    Abstract: A composition for providing enhanced skin appearance, particularly in terms of providing the appearance of reduced dryness and flakiness for an extended period of time, is disclosed. The compositions include low levels of skin coloring agents, including self-tanning compounds, such as DHA and/or erythrulose, in a topical cosmetic base. The levels of self-tanning compounds utilized are lower than those typically found in self-tanning compositions. A method for enhancing skin appearance utilizing those compositions is also disclosed.
