Abstract

An anhydrous topical composition provides a water repellent surface. The anhydrous topical composition has at least one film former with surface tension lower than 35 dynes/cm, at least one particle having a hydrophobic surface or a hydrophobic surface treatment, and a volatile topical carrier.

Claims (28)

1. A topical composition comprising:

at least one film former comprising a silicone having a surface tension lower than dynes/cm, wherein said silicone comprises C 24-28 alkyldimethylsiloxy trimethylsiloxysilicate, and wherein said at least one film former is present in an amount of 0.5% to 10% by weight based on a total weight of said topical composition;

hydrophobic particles comprising silica silylate, wherein said particles are present in an amount up to 10% by weight based on the total weight of said topical composition;

a volatile topical carrier present in an amount of 10% to 80% by weight based on the total weight of said topical composition; and

a sunscreen active agent selected from the group consisting of an organic sunscreen active agent.

2. The topical composition of claim 1 , further comprising a colorant selected from the group consisting of an organic pigment or dye, an inorganic pigment or dye, and mixtures thereof.

3. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said organic sunscreen active agent is selected from the group consisting of an organic ultraviolet A long-wave sunscreen active agent, an organic ultraviolet B shortwave sunscreen active agent, an organic full spectrum sunscreen active agent, an encapsulated organic ultraviolet filter, or combinations thereof.

4. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said organic sunscreen active agent comprises avobenzone, terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid, bis-disulizole disodium, disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexylbenzoate, bis-diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl benzoate, bis-benzoxazolylphenyl ethylhexylamino triazine, octocrylene, octinoxate, octisalate, homosalate, ensulizole, ethylhexyl triazone, enzacamene, amiloxate, diethylhexyl butamido triazine, benzylidene malonate polysiloxane, padimate-O, trolamine salicylate, cinoxate, p-aminobenzoic acid, oxybenzone, meradimate bis-octrizole, bemotrizinol, drometrizole trisiloxane, sulisobenzone, dioxybenzone, or combinations thereof.

5. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said organic sunscreen active agent comprises avobenzone and further comprises terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid, bis-disulizole disodium, disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexylbenzoate, bis-diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl benzoate, bis-benzoxazolylphenyl ethylhexylamino triazine, octocrylene, octinoxate, octisalate, homosalate, ensulizole, ethylhexyl triazone, enzacamene, amiloxate, diethylhexyl butamido triazine, benzylidene malonate polysiloxane, padimate-O, trolamine salicylate, cinoxate, p-aminobenzoic acid, oxybenzone, meradimate, bis-octrizole, bemotrizinol, drometrizole trisiloxane, sulisobenzone, dioxybenzone, or combinations thereof, and wherein said film former further comprises a wax, an ester, a resin, a rosin, or combinations thereof.

6. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said silicone comprises isododecane (and) C 24-28 alkyldimethylsiloxy trimethylsiloxysilicate, cyclopentasiloxane (and) C 24-28 alkyldimethylsiloxy trimethylsiloxysilicate, or combinations thereof.

7. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said silica silylate comprises silica dimethicone silylate, silica dimethyl silylate, or combinations thereof.

8. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said silica silylate is present in an amount of 1% to 6% by weight based on the total weight of said topical composition.

9. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said hydrophobic particles are present in an amount of 5% to 10% by weight based on the total weight of said topical composition.

10. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said volatile topical carrier is non-polar or polar.

11. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said volatile topical carrier comprises ethanol, isododecane, volatile hydrocarbons, volatile silicones, or combinations thereof.

13. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said topical composition has an initial water contact angle greater than 90 degrees.

14. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said topical composition has a water contact angle greater than 60 degrees after 40 minutes or after 80 minutes.

15. The topical composition of claim 1 , wherein said topical composition is in the form of a lotion, a cream, an emulsion, a gel, a suspension, an aerosol, or a powder.

16.

17. A topical composition comprising:

a sunscreen active agent selected from the group consisting of an organic sunscreen active agent;

at least one film former comprising a silicone having a surface tension lower than 35 dynes/cm, wherein said silicone comprises C 24-28 alkyldimethylsiloxy trimethylsiloxysilicate, wherein said at least one film former is present in an amount of 0.5% to 10% by weight based on a total weight of said topical composition;

hydrophobic particles comprising silica silylate, wherein said particles are present in an amount up to 10% by weight based on the total weight of said topical composition; and
