Publication number: 20200179244Abstract: The hollow particles according to the present invention has a balloon structure which includes a cavity inside a shell, and include convex portions with a size of 3 to 100 nm on the surface. The particles have a true specific gravity of 0.3 to 3.0 g/cm3, a specific surface area (m2/cm3) per unit volume calculated by a BET method of not less than 0.5 and less than 60, and an average particle diameter (d1) of 1 to 20 ?m. Cosmetics containing such hollow particles have a soft texture property similar to plastic beads.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2018Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: JGC CATALYSTS AND CHEMICALS LTD.Inventors: Satoshi WATANABE, Naoyuki ENOMOTO, Ikuko SHIMAZAKI, Kenichi SUEMITSU

Publication number: 20200179245Abstract: Disclosed herein are oil-in-water dispersions and sunscreen compositions that contain them, which exhibit high in vivo sun protection factor (SPF) efficiency due to the ability of the dispersions to both absorb and scatter ultraviolet (UV) light. These high efficiency sunscreen compositions include discrete oil particles that are enclosed within a solid coating and dispersed in an aqueous phase, wherein each oil particle contains an organic ultraviolet A (UVA) and/or an organic ultraviolet B (UVB) absorbing compound, and optionally a photostabilizer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: Deckner Consulting ServIces, LLCInventors: George Endel Deckner, Nickolas Huss

Publication number: 20200179248Abstract: Present disclosure relates to a solvent-free method of encapsulating a hydrophobic active in personal care, hydrophobic active in crop protection or a hydrophobic active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in polymeric nanoparticles. The method includes mixing the hydrophobic active in a polymer melt, wherein the polymer melt comprises a melt of a block co-polymer, wherein the polymer melt acts as a solvent for the hydrophobic active. The method further includes maintaining the polymer melt in water for sufficient time to allow self-assembly of the block co-polymer to encapsulate the hydrophobic active therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2018Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Praveen Thoniyot, Parijat Kanaujia, Alexander M.
