  • Skin care compositions containing discrete microdroplets of an oil in water stabilized by in situ polymerization of water-soluble vinyl monomer
    Patent number: 5130121
    Abstract: What is provided herein are skin care compositions containing discrete microdroplets of an oil in water stabilized by in situ polymerization of a water-soluble vinyl monomer. The discrete microdroplets are prepared by dispersing the oil, preferably a silicone, in water, adding the water-soluble vinyl monomer, preferably vinylpyrrolidone, and polymerizing the monomer in situ such that the oil is stabilized in the resulting polymer solution as discrete microdroplets.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 8, 1991
    Date of Patent: July 14, 1992

  • Preparation of discrete microdroplets of a high viscosity oil in water
    Patent number: 5084208
    Abstract: What is provided herein is a method for preparing discrete microdroplets of a high viscosity oil in water stabilized by in situ polymerization of a water-soluble vinyl monomer. The method comprises dispersing the oil in water containing a surfactant, adding the water-soluble vinyl monomer, preferably vinylpyrrolidone, optionally with a comonomer, and polymerizing the monomer or comonomers in situ such that the oil is stabilized in the resulting polymer solution as discete microdroplets.
