Abstract: A hair care composition comprising from about 10% to about 25% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.01% to 10% of one or more surfactant soluble antidandruff agents; from about 0.1% to 10% of one or more anionic polymers from about 0.01% to 5% of one or more cationic polymers; wherein the composition has a deposition efficiency of greater than 1.2X that of a control composition wherein the control composition comprises 14% SLE1S, no polymeric constituents, 1% of the surfactant soluble antidandruff agent at a pH of about 6.

Abstract: A personal care composition may have 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 composition may further comprise a solid UV active soluble in the isosorbide diester and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The personal care composition may be in the form of an emulsion having an aqueous phase comprising water and an oil phase. The oil phase may comprise the isosorbide diester and a solid UV active soluble in the isosorbide diester. In a particular embodiment, the solid UV soluble in the isosorbide diester UV active may be selected from 4-tert-butyl-4?-methoxy dibenzoylmethane, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, and combinations thereof. Methods of making the aforementioned personal care compositions are disclosed.

Abstract: An oil in water emulsion that has a water phase and an oil phase. The water phase includes greater than about 0.5% of the salt form of a neutralized acid, the acid being preferably salicylic acid; and, from about 2% to about 0.001%, by weight of a gum. The oil in water emulsion is stable, that is, it is substantially unaltered in chemical state and physical homogeneity, upon exposure to 14 days at a temperature & humidity of about 50° C. and 60% RH. The gum is preferably xanthan gum, and the emulsion may include from about 0.01 to about 10%, of an emulsifier.

Abstract: A UV composition that contains from about 0.2% to about 2% of a UV stabilizer which is an alpha-cyanodiphenylacrylate of the general formula: At least one of R1 or R2 is a C1-C8 alkyoxy radical, and one of R1 or R2 is a straight or branched chain C1-C30 alkoxy radical or any non-alkoxy radical, or hydrogen; and R3 is a straight or branched chain C1-C30 alkyl. Further, the UV composition comprises from about 1.5% to about 3.5% of a UV active which is a butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, and from about 3% to about 9% of a UV active that is 2-Ethylhexyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate. A dermatologically acceptable carrier is also provided. Preferably, the weight ratio of alpha-cyanodiphenylacrylate to butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane is from about 1:2 to about 1:5.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a personal-care composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion comprises at least about 10% of a non-polar silicone oil; from about 0.1% to about 10% of a first oil-soluble solid sunscreen; and from about 0.1% to about 10% of a second oil-soluble solid sunscreen. The weight ratio of the first sunscreen to the second sunscreen may be from about 0.8 to about 2.0, or from about 1.0 to about 1.5. The first sunscreen may be oxybenzone. The second sunscreen may be avobenzone. The composition may further comprise a skin-care active selected from the group consisting of a vitamin B3 compound, a sugar amine, a peptide, a hexamidine compound, and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a method for improving the solubility of a second oil-soluble solid sunscreen in the oil phase of a water-in oil emulsion.
