  • Patent number: 10512595
    Abstract: A multi-layer product for improving the look of human skin by the steps of: apply to the skin a first layer that is a skin care composition; and applying to, and on top of, the first layer, a powder layer. The powder layer has from about 10% to about 30%, by weight of the powder layer, of substantially spherical silicone elastomer particles. The powder layer is an aqueous based composition that is an oil-in-water emulsion comprising a non-volatile oil present in a concentration level such that the weight ratio of non-volatile oil to particulate material is from about 1:10 to about 3:2. At least one of, or both the first layer and the powder layer have a contrast ratio of less than about 20.

  • Publication number: 20180344856
    Abstract: Personal care compositions for use in an absorbent article are disclosed comprising an isosorbide diester having the formula: wherein R? and R? are independently selected from a straight or branched C1-30 chain, which may be saturated or unsaturated. The personal care compositions also comprise a solid cosmetic active soluble in the isosorbide diester and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The personal care composition may be in the form of an emulsion. A personal care composition is also disclosed comprising an isosorbide diester having the formula: wherein R? and R? are independently selected from a straight or branched C1-30 chain which may be saturated or unsaturated and Z1-Z6 are independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, amino, amido, R?, or R?. Methods of making the aforementioned personal care compositions are also disclosed.
