Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to compositions for cosmetic or pharmaceutical application. The compositions include a carrier and rheology modulators.
Claims25
A therapeutic composition comprising:
- a first rheology modulator comprising a pharmaceutical or a cosmetic active agent at least part of which is suspended in the therapeutic composition;
- and
- a carrier comprising:
- a) a second rheology modulator selected from the group consisting of (i) a combination of at least one fatty alcohol and at least one wax;
- (ii) a combination of at least one fatty acid and at least one wax;
- and (iii) a combination of:
- at least one fatty alcohol, at least one fatty acid, and at least one wax;
- and
- b) at least one hydrophobic solvent;
- the carrier being otherwise free of or containing less than 0.1% by weight of surfactant;
- wherein the at least one wax comprises a hydrogenated castor oil;
- wherein the viscosity of the therapeutic composition is at least about 30% higher than the viscosity of a first partial composition comprising the carrier without the first rheology modulator;
- and is higher than the viscosity of the first rheology modulator and the at least one hydrophobic solvent without the second rheology modulator;
- and
- wherein the viscosity of the first partial composition is less than about 25,000 cPs at room temperature.
