Abstract

A gelled nail polish remover includes of a thickening agent of approximately 1.0%-5.0% by weight, low volatility organic solvents of approximately 85%-99% by weight, a skin conditioning agent of approximately 0.1%-5.0% by weight, and an antioxidant of approximate 0.15%-0.3% by weight, which are mixed to form a gel for removing nail polish and featuring low toxin, low volatility, low flammability, and almost no odor smell.

Claims

1. A gelled nail polish remover, comprising:

a gelling agent having a percentage of approximately 1.0%-5.0% by weight, the gelling agent being selected from hydroxypropyl cellulose ((C₃₆H₄₄O₁₈)_n), cross-linked acrylic acid polymer (C₂H₁₀O₂), and acrylate/C_10-30 alkyl acrylate cross-polymer;

a solvent having a percentage of approximately 85%-99% by weight, the solvent comprising dibasic ester and glycol ether; and

a skin conditioning agent having a percentage of approximately 0.1%-5.0% by weight and an antioxidant having a percentage of approximately 0.15%-0.3% by weight.

2. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in claim 1, wherein hydroxypropyl cellulose contained in the gelling agent has a molecular weight in a range of approximately 850,000-1,150,000.

3. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dibasic ester contained in the solvent is a mixture of three dibasic esters including dimethyl succinate (CH₃OOC(CH₂)₂COOCH₃), dimethyl glutarate (CH₃OOC(CH₂)₃COOCH₃), and dimethyl adipate (CH₃OOC(CH₂)₄COOCH₃).

4. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in claim 3, wherein the dibasic ester takes a percentage of approximately 0%-70%.

5. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in claim 1, wherein the glycol ether contained in the solvent is diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (C₄H₉(OCH₂CH₂)₂OH).

6. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in 5, wherein diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (C₄H₉(OCH₂CH₂)₂OH) takes a percentage of approximately 25%-99%.

7. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in 1, wherein the skin conditioning agent is selected from a group including lanolin, vitamin E, acetic ester, panthenol and aloe vera.

8. The gelled nail polish remover as claimed in 1, wherein the antioxidant is selected from methylparaben (C₈H₈O₃) and propylparaben (C₁₀H₁₂O₃).
