Abstract
Topically active compositions having enhanced effectiveness are disclosed. The compositions contain a topically active compound, an anionic surfactant, a hydric solvent, a hydrotrope, an optional cosurfactant, and water, wherein a percent saturation of the topical active compound of the composition is at least 25%. The compositions exhibit a rapid and effective topical effect, and effectively deposit the topically active compound for an effective residual effect.
Claims18
A topically active composition comprising:
- (a) about 0.001% to about 5%, by weight, of a topically active compound;
- (b) about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight, of an anionic surfactant;
- (c) about 0.5% to about 35%, by weight, of a hydrotrope;
- (d) about 0.5% to about 25%, by weight, of a water-soluble hydric solvent;
- (e) 0% to about 5%, by weight, of a cosurfactant selected from the group consisting of a nonionic surfactant, an ampholytic surfactant, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (f) water,
- wherein the topically active compound is present in the composition in an amount of at least 25% of saturation concentration, when measured at room temperature.
