Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition including water, about 0.1% to about 0.4% of a 4-substituted resorcinol, an ester having at least about 25 carbon atoms, and a polymeric emulsifier is provided. The composition comprises less than about 5% by weight of oils and is substantially free of monomeric emulsifier. Methods of treating the skin are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A composition comprising at least about 70% by weight water; about 0.1 to about 0.4% by weight of 4-hexyl resorcinol; about 1 to about 3% by weight of octyldodecyl neopentanoate; and acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer; wherein the composition comprises less than 5% by weight oils including octyldodecyl neopentanoate and is substantially free of emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl monoglyceryl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, alkyl ether sulfosuccinates, alkyl sulfosuccinamates, alkyl amidosulfosuccinates, alkyl carboxylates, alkyl amidoethercarboxylates, alkyl succinates, fatty acyl sarcosinates, fatty acyl amino acids, fatty acyl taurates, fatty alkyl sulfoacetates, alkyl phosphates, amide ethoxylates, monoglyceride ethoxylates, sorbitan ester ethoxylates, alkyl polyglycosides, polyoxyethylene derivatives of polyol esters wherein the polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester (1) is derived from (a) a fatty acid containing from about 8 to about 22, such as from about 10 to about 14 carbon atoms, and (b) a polyol selected from sorbitol, sorbitan, glucose, α-methyl glucoside, polyglucose having an average of about 1 to about 3 glucose residues per molecule, glycerine, pentaerythritol and mixtures thereof, (2) contains an average of from about 10 to about 120, such as about 20 to about 80 oxyethylene units; and (3) has an average of about 1 to about 3 fatty acid residues per mole of polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol esteralkyl glucosides, silicone emulsifiers, alkyl betaines, amidoalkyl betaines, amidoalkyl sultaines, amphophosphates, phosphorylated imidazolines, carboxyalkyl alkyl polyamines, alkylimino-dipropionates, alkylamphoglycinates (mono or di), alkylamphoproprionates (mono or di), N-alkyl b-aminoproprionic acids, alkylpolyamino carboxylates, alkyl quaternaries, benzyl quaternaries, ester quaternaries, ethoxylated quaternaries, and alkyl amines. 2. A composition comprising at least about 70% by weight water; about 0.1 to about 0.4% by weight of 4-hexyl resorcinol; about 1 to about 3% by weight of octyldodecyl neopentanoate; acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer; cetearyl olivate; sorbitan olivate; and glycerin; wherein the composition comprises less than 5% by weight oils including octyldodecyl neopentanoate. 3. The composition of claim 2 substantially free of emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl monoglyceryl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, alkyl ether sulfosuccinates, alkyl sulfosuccinamates, alkyl amidosulfosuccinates, alkyl carboxylates, alkyl amidoethercarboxylates, alkyl succinates, fatty acyl sarcosinates, fatty acyl amino acids, fatty acyl taurates, fatty alkyl sulfoacetates, alkyl phosphates, amide ethoxylates, monoglyceride ethoxylates, sorbitan ester ethoxylates, alkyl polyglycosides, polyoxyethylene derivatives of polyol esters wherein the polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester (1) is derived from (a) a fatty acid containing from about 8 to about 22, such as from about 10 to about 14 carbon atoms, and (b) a polyol selected from sorbitol, sorbitan, glucose, α-methyl glucoside, polyglucose having an average of about 1 to about 3 glucose residues per molecule, glycerine, pentaerythritol and mixtures thereof, (2) contains an average of from about 10 to about 120, such as about 20 to about 80 oxyethylene units; and (3) has an average of about 1 to about 3 fatty acid residues per mole of polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol esteralkyl glucosides, silicone emulsifiers, alkyl betaines, amidoalkyl betaines, amidoalkyl sultaines, amphophosphates, phosphorylated imidazolines, carboxyalkyl alkyl polyamines, alkylimino-dipropionates, alkylamphoglycinates (mono or di), alkylamphoproprionates (mono or di), N-alkyl b-aminoproprionic acids, alkylpolyamino carboxylates, alkyl quaternaries, benzyl quaternaries, ester quaternaries, ethoxylated quaternaries, and alkyl amines.
