Sprayable compositions containing metal oxides
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a composition comprising a high load of metal oxides that is phase stable and sprayable. It comprises a branched hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane copolymer and a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion copolymer comprising of one or more acrylate monomers and an ethoxylated associative comonomer.
1. A composition comprising:
(a) at least about 10 weight percent of a metal oxide;
(b) about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of branched hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane copolymer; and
(c) about 0.1 to about 5.5 weight percent of a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion copolymer comprising an ethoxylated associative comonomer and one or more acrylate monomers, wherein the branched hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane copolymer is a copolymer of hexamethylene diisocyanate, PEG-200, and Methyl Gluceth-10, end-capped with Trideceth-6 and a fatty alcohol containing 16 to 20 carbons.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide is selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and mixtures thereof.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide comprises zinc oxide.
4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the zinc oxide comprises coated particles.
5. A composition comprising:
(a) at least about 10 weight percent of a metal oxide;
(b) about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of branched hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane copolymer; and
(c) about 0.1 to about 5.5 weight percent of a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion copolymer comprising an ethoxylated associative comonomer and one or more acrylate monomers, wherein the hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion copolymer is selected from the group consisting of acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer, acrylates/steareth-25 methacrylate copolymer, and mixtures thereof.
6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsion copolymer comprises acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer.
7. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsion copolymer comprises acrylates/steareth-25 methacrylate copolymer.
8. The composition of claim 1 substantially free of organic UV filters.
9. The composition of claim 1 comprising an organic UV filter.
10. A sunscreen composition according to claim 1 .
11. A color cosmetic composition according to claim 1 .
12. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the metal oxide is selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and mixtures thereof.
13. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the metal oxide comprises zinc oxide.
14. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the zinc oxide comprises coated particles.
15. The composition of claim 5 substantially free of organic UV filters.
16. The composition of claim 5 comprising an organic UV filter.
17. A sunscreen composition according to claim 5 .
18. A color cosmetic composition according to claim 5 .
