"TOPICAL COSMETIC COMPOSITION". The present invention relates to a topical cosmetic composition with a continuous aqueous phase, in the form of a lotion, cream or gel, which contains: i) from 0.01% to 25% by weight of a particulate organic material which has an average particle size of 0.5 to 30 µm; (ii) more than 8% by weight of a humectant selected from glycerine, polyalkylene glycol, urea, panthenol D or DL, hexane-1,2,6-triol, guanidine or derivatives thereof, alkylene glycols such as butylene glycol and propylene glycol , and mixtures thereof; iii) 2% to 20% by weight of organic sunscreen to provide highly effective levels of moistening and protection against UV radiation while maintaining an excellent skin feel. Preferred embodiments are oil-in-water emulsions where the particulate material has been previously dispersed within an organosiloxane oil to impart a non-stickiness to the skin. |
