Method of enhancing penetration of water-soluble actives
First Claim
1. A method of enhancing the delivery of water-soluble skin care actives into keratinous tissue, comprising the step of applying to the keratinous tissue a composition comprising an water-in-oil emulsion comprising a aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase, wherein the aqueous phase comprises a water-soluble skin care active, and whereupon application of shear stress to the composition, the aqueous phase is visibly separated from the non-aqueous phase, as evidenced by the visual presence of water droplets on the keratinous tissue.

14. A method of providing to a consumer an immediate benefit and of enhancing delivery of a skin care active into keratinous tissue, comprising the step of applying to keratinous tissue in need of a benefit a composition comprising from about 1.2% to about 70% of a non-aqueous phase and from about 30% to about 98.8% of a aqueous phase, wherein:
-
a) the non-aqueous phase comprises; i. from about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight of the composition, of a non-emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer; ii. from about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight of the composition, of an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer; iii. from about 1% to about 70%, by weight of the non-aqueous phase, of a solvent for the non-emulsifying and emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomers; b) the aqueous phase comprises and at least one water-soluble skin care active selected from the group consisting of vitamin B compounds, vitamin C compounds, peptides and peptide derivatives, sugar amines, oil control agents, antioxidant precursors, radical scavengers, sunscreens, protease inhibitors, skin lightening agents, a sunless tanning agent, and mixtures thereof, and a dermatologically-acceptable carrier. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
