Abstract

The present invention is directed to a water-in-oil emulsion composition comprising: a lipophilic personal care composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 1% to about 30% of a polyglycerin fatty acid ester having a polyglycerin of 2-20 units and at least one branched fatty acid residue of 8 to 22 carbons; (b) from about 0.01% to about 6% of glycerin, wherein the amount of glycerin is no more than 20% of the polyglycerin fatty acid ester; (c) from about 0.001% to no more than an amount dissolvable in glycerin of a water-soluble skin benefit agent; and (d) a lipophilic carrier which is substantially free of surfactant.

Claims

1. A lipophilic personal care composition comprising by weight:

(a) from about 1% to about 30% of a polyglycerin fatty acid ester having a polyglycerin of 2-20 units and at least one branched fatty acid residue of 8 to 22 carbons;

(b) from about 0.01% to about 6% of glycerin, wherein the amount of glycerin is no more than 20% of the polyglycerin fatty acid ester;

(c) from about 0.001% to no more than an amount dissolvable in glycerin of a water-soluble skin benefit agent; and

(d) a lipophilic carrier which is substantially free of surfactant.

2. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 1 wherein the water-soluble skin benefit agent is selected from the group consisting of flavonoid compounds, vitamin B3 compounds, ascorbic acid compounds, panthenol, bacterial cultured mediums, allantoin, sodium lactate, PCA soda, amino acids, urea, sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate, collagen, elastin, pectin, carageenan, sodium alginate, trehalose, tuberose saccharide, chitin derivatives, chitosan derivatives, water-soluble plant extracts, and mixtures thereof.

3. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 1 wherein the water-soluble skin benefit agent comprises flavonoid compounds.

4. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 1 wherein the water-soluble skin benefit agent comprises vitamin B3 compounds.

5. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 1 wherein the lipophilic carrier comprises an N-long chain acyl acidic amino acid ester of sterol having formula (I):

XOC(O)—

(CH2)n-CH(NHCOR)—

C(O)OY  

 

(I)

wherein one of X and Y is an ester residue of sterol selected from the group consisting of phytosterol, cholesterol, lanosterol, stigmasterol, its hydrogenates, and its derivatives, and the other is selected from H, an alkyl or alkenyl of 8-30 carbons, and ester residue of monohydric solid alcohol of 12-38 carbons;

COR is a long chain acyl group of 8-22 carbons; and

n is an integer of 1 or 2; and

having a water holding capability of at least 400%, and is liquid at 25°

C.

6. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 1 wherein the lipophilic carrier comprises a dimer acid ester having a water holding capability of at least 240%, and is liquid at 25°

C.

7. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 1 wherein the composition is prepared by the steps of:

(1) dissolving the water-soluble skin benefit agent into glycerin;

(2) dissolving the product of step (1) into the polyglycerin fatty acid ester; and

(3) mixing the product of step (2) with the anhydrous lipophilic carrier.

8. The lipophilic personal care composition of claim 7 for use as a lipstick, the lipstick comprising by weight:

(a) from about 5% to about 30% of the polyglycerin fatty acid ester;

(b) from about 1% to about 6% of glycerin; and

(c) from about 0.001% to about 5% of the water-soluble skin benefit agent.

9. The lipstick composition of claim 8 further comprising a solid wax.

10. The lipstick composition of claim 8 further comprising a color powder.
