LIGHT AESTHETIC SUNSCREEN COMPOSITIONS
The present invention provides sunscreen composition comprising a hydrophobically modified polyurethane, a viscosity increasing polymer, and glyceryl stearate. This composition has surprisingly light aesthetics while providing excellent UV protection.
1 .- 16 . (canceled)
17 . 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 solution of polyurethane-62 in trideceth-6;
(c) about 0.4 to about 0.6 weight percent of sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vinylpyrrolidine crosspolymer;
(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;
wherein the composition is a phase-stable, oil-in-water emulsion having a linear complex viscosity of about 2000 to about 5000 cP at 100 rad/s at 25° C.
