| Composition of a water-soluble sunscreen preparation for acne rosacea | 20090202460 | 20090813 |
| The object of the invention is to provide a topical preparation for (acne) rosacea and other sensitive skin types that protects the face from harmful UV rays without the use of chemical sunscreen ingredients. It has long been found that chemical sunscreen ingredients (most popular are oxybenzone and avobenzone) can cause an increase of rosacea symptoms (flushing, erythema, papules) (Nedorost (2003) and Landers et al., 2003). Furthermore, typical waterproof sunscreen preparations also contain various forms of silicones that are used to increase the hydrophobicity of the sunscreen. These waterproof sunscreen preparations impair the release of heat from the skin. The combination of this “trapped heat” and a sensitivity to chemical sunscreen ingredients, is harmful to rosacea skin. Therefore, a sunscreen preparation that is water-soluble and uses... |

| Personal care compositions with color changing indicator | 20060222675 | 20061005 |
| The invention describes a composition for use in disinfecting a surface for personal use, such as a public restroom facility or telephone. The composition and delivery of the composition provides for the placement of a thin layer of disinfectant which includes a acid-base indicator. The acid-base indicator disappears as the thin layer effects the germicidal activity of the disinfectant. The composition is also rapidly drying, so that the acid-base indicator disappears as well as the disinfecting composition leaving the surface dry. The invention also relates to use of the compositions in a lotion, such as a sunscreen. Use of the acid-base indicator provides a method to visualize where the lotion is applied by color, with the color then later dissipating.

| Natural sunlight photostable composition | 20060177389 | 20060810 |
| The present invention relates to photostable compositions that provide protection from ultraviolet radiation (“UVR”). The invention particularly relates to the sunscreens avobenzone, octocrylene and oxybenzone, forming a triplet combination. Compositions of the present invention are free of diesters or polyesters of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and also are substantially free of substantial amounts of other sunscreens and substantial amounts of optimizing agents. Sunscreens of the invention may be essentially free of, or free of, lower monohydric alcohol and/or acrylates/C12-22 alkylmethacrylate copolymer in an effective non-pilling amount used to gel a C1-C4 alcohol. The triplet combination surprisingly provides and substantially maintains the initial SPF value of the sunscreen composition throughout the period of UVR exposure. Compositions of the invention are photostable such that each of sunscreen active in... |
| Skin cancer prevention method and product | 20060177390 | 20060810 |
| The increased use of sunscreens, while limiting damage to the DNA, may promote cancer growth by preventing vitamin D synthesis in the skin. According to the present invention, the beneficial effects of UV radiation are obtained by incorporating vitamin D into the topical sunscreen. Application of the sunscreen prevents the harmful effects of UV radiation and the included vitamin D is activated by the skin to calcitriol for cancer prevention. Because calcitriol also promotes cellular growth and differentiation, the topical sunscreen with vitamin D may be of benefit for photoaging.
