LIGHT AESTHETIC SUNSCREEN COMPOSITIONS
The present invention provides sunscreen composition comprising a hydrophobically modified polyurethane, a taurate copolymer, and glyceryl stearate. This composition has surprisingly light aesthetics while providing excellent UV protection.
1 . A sunscreen composition comprising:
(a) at least about 10 weight percent of one or more UV filters;
(b) about 0.55 to about 0.75 weight percent of a hydrophobically modified polyurethane;
(c) about 0.4 to about 0.6 weight percent of a taurate copolymer; and
(d) at least about 0.1 weight percent of glyceryl stearate.
2 . The composition of claim 1 comprising at least about 0.1 weight percent avobenzone.
3 . The composition of claim 2 further comprising octocrylene, homosalate, and octisalate.
4 . The composition of claim 1 further comprising hyaluronic acid.
5 . The composition of claim 1 further comprising silica.
6 . The composition of claim 1 further comprising a humectant selected from the group consisting of glycerin, pentylene glycol, and mixtures thereof.
7 . A sunscreen composition comprising at least about 10 weight percent of one or more UV filters and having a linear complex viscosity of about 2000 to about 5000 cP at 100 rad/s.
8 . The composition of claim 6 comprising at least 0.1 weight percent avobenzone.
9 . The composition of claim 8 , further comprising octocrylene, homosalate, and octisalate.
10 . The composition of claim 6 further comprising hyaluronic acid.
11 . The composition of claim 1 further comprising silica.
12 . The composition of claim 1 further comprising a humectant selected from the group consisting of glycerin, propylene glycol, and mixtures thereof.
13 . A sunscreen composition comprising:
(a) at least about 10 weight percent of a combination of UV filters comprising avobenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, and octisalate;
(b) about 0.55 to about 0.75 weight percent of a hydrophobically modified polyurethane;
(c) about 0.4 to about 0.6 weight percent of a taurate copolymer; and
(d) at least about 0.1 weight percent of glyceryl stearate;
(e) silica;
(f) a humectant selected from the group consisting of glycerin, propylene glycol, and mixtures thereof; and
(g) ethanol.
