Abstract
An anhydrous personal care composition, comprising: (a) 45 to 60 weight % of at least one ester, selected from (i) triglycerides, (ii) diglycerides, (iii) monoglycerides, (iv) monoesters of diols, and (v) diesters of diols; (b) a first wax having a melting point of from 35° C. to 72° C. present in an amount of 5 to 25 weight %; (c) a second wax having a melting point of 73 to 90° C. present in an amount of 0.5 to 15 weight %; and (d) at least one plant oil having a saponification value of from 150 to 275 mg KOH/g present in an amount of 5 to 35 weight.
Claims19
An anhydrous personal care composition selected from a sunscreen or a diaper cream, comprising:
- (a) at least one ester, wherein said at least one ester is selected from one or more of the following groups:
- (i) triglycerides,
- (ii) diglycerides,
- (iii) monoglycerides,
- (iv) monoesters of diols, and
- (v) diesters of diols,
- and wherein a total concentration of said at least one ester is 45 to 60 weight %, based on the total weight of the composition;
- (b) a first wax having a melting point of 35° C. to 72° C. present in an amount of 5 to 25 weight %, based on the total weight of the composition;
- (c) a second wax having a melting point of 73° C. to 90° C. present in an amount of 0.5 to 15 weight % based on the total weight of the composition;
- (d) at least one plant oil having a saponification value of 150 to 275 mg KOH/g, wherein a total concentration of said at least one plant oil is from 5 to 35 weight %, based on the total weight of the composition;
- and
- (e) zinc oxide, which is present in a concentration of 11 to 15 weight % for the diaper cream or 15 to 22 weight % for the sunscreen, based on the total weight of the composition.
