Abstract
A composition for topical application to the skin comprising at least one unsolubilized oil-soluble hydrophobic cooling ingredient having a heat of fusion above 100 J/g and a melting point substantially near body temperature, a polymeric emulsifier in which the cooling ingredient is not soluble, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.
Claims10
A composition for topical application to the skin comprising:
- at least one unsolubilized oil-soluble hydrophobic cooling ingredient having a heat of fusion above 100 J/g and a melting point substantially at body temperature;
- a polymeric emulsifier in which the cooling ingredient is not soluble;
- and
- a cosmetically acceptable carrier that does not solubilize the cooling ingredient.
A method of causing a cooling sensation on the skin comprising applying to the skin a composition comprising at least one unsolubilized oil-soluble hydrophobic cooling ingredient having a heat of fusion above 100 J/g and a melting point substantially at body temperature, a polymeric emulsifier in which the cooling ingredient is not soluble, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier selected so that the vehicle does not solubilize the cooling ingredient.
A method of maintaining the unsolubilized state of an oil-soluble hydrophobic cooling ingredient having a heat of fusion above 100 J/g and a melting point substantially at body temperature comprising incorporating the cooling ingredient into a polymeric emulsifier in which the cooling ingredient is not soluble.
