Further, certain aspects of the present invention are illustrated in detail by way of the following examples. The examples are given herein for illustration of the invention and are not intended to be limiting thereof.
The process for preparing non-ionic based emulsion composition is described in example-1(a). Various ingredients including their weight proportions used for preparing the skin care composition are disclosed Table-1. In a first step, phase A was prepared, wherein, 2.00% w/w of Propylene glycol is mixed with 56.78% w/w water in a beaker under continuous stirring at a temperature of 75° C. to obtain a homogenized mixture. Thereafter, 0.30% w/w Carbopol was added under continuous stirring until a smooth and uniform mixture free with lumps is obtained. 0.30% w/w methyl paraben preservative was then added to the mixture to obtain a resultant Phase A solution. Simultaneously, phase B components corresponding to example-la and listed in Table-1 were mixed together under continuous stirring at a temperature of 75° C. to obtain a yellow colored clear solution of phase B. This phase B solution was then added to the phase A solution under continuous stirring to obtain a mixture of phase a and phase B which is off white in color. The mixture of phase A and phase B was slowly cooled to 65° C. and subsequently mixed with phase C components corresponding to example-la listed in Table-1. The pH of the mixture of Phase A, phase B and phase C was maintained at around 5.6. Thereafter, 1.0% w/w of vinyl pyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate copolymer was added to the mixture of Phase A, Phase B and Phase C to obtain a resultant skin care/sunscreen composition. The pH of resultant composition was maintained at 5.5-6.0.

Various ingredients including their weight proportions used for preparing the skin care/sun screen composition of example-2 are disclosed Table-2. In a first step, 2.0% w/w Propylene glycol and 53.73% w/w water were mixed together in a beaker under continuous stirring at a temperature of 75° C. to obtain a homogenized mixture. Thereafter, 0.20% w/w of Carbopol was sprinkled under continuous stirring until a smooth and uniform mixture free with lumps was obtained. Thereafter, 1.0% w/w LiquaPar MEP preservative (Phenoxyethnaol and Methylparaben and Ethyparaben and Caprylyl Glycol) was added under continuous stirring to obtain a Phase A solution. Simultaneously, the phase B components corresponding to example 2a listed in Table-2 were mixed together under continuous stirring at a temperature of 75° C. to obtain a yellow colored & clear solution of phase B. The phase B solution was then added to the phase A solution under continuous stirring to obtain a mixture of Phase A and Phase B. The obtained mixture of phase A and phase B was then slowly cooled to 65° C. and mixed with phase C components corresponding to example 2a listed in Table-2 to obtain a mixture of Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C. 1.0% w/w of vinyl pyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate was then added to the mixture of Phase A, Phase B and Phase C under continuous stirring at a temperature of 55° C. to obtain the resultant composition. pH of the composition was adjusted around 5.24 with phase E components listed in Table-2.
Another set of skin care compositions (corresponding to examples 2 b & 2c) were also prepared in the same manner as for example 2a. In example 2b, a copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone and long chain alpha-olefins (Genax V220) were used instead of the copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate; In example 2c, no polymer is used.
Water resistance properties of the skin care compositions of examples 2 a, 2b and 2c were duly evaluated.
Example 3a describes a process for preparing skin care composition in lamellar gel base form. Various ingredients including their weight proportions were used for preparing the skin care/sun screen composition of example-3 are disclosed Table-3. In a first step, 60.99% w/w of water, 0.05% w/w of disodium EDTA, 3.0% w/w of Lubrajel, 1.0% w/w of Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol, and 0.30% w/w of methylparaben were mixed together in a step wise manner under continuous stirring to obtain a homogeneous mixture. 0.30% w/w of carbomer was then sprinkled to the mixture under continuous stirring at a temperature of 75° C. to obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture of Phase A and Phase B. In a separate beaker, all the Phase C components corresponding to the example 3a listed in Table-3 were mixed together and heated at a temperature of 80° C. to obtain a yellow colored & a clear solution. The temperature of the phase C solution is then maintained at 75° C. and then gradually added to the mixture of Phase A and Phase B under continuous stirring to obtain a mixture of Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C. In a separate beaker, phase D components corresponding to example-3a listed in table-3 were mixed together at room temperature. The phase D solution was then added to the mixture of Phases A, B and C at 50° C. 1.0% w/w Phase E (Vinylpyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate copolymer) was added to the mixture of Phase A, phase B, Phase C and Phase D at 55° C. to obtain a resultant composition. The pH of the resultant composition was maintained at 6. The resultant composition was then cooled to 25° C.
Another set of skin care compositions (corresponding to examples 3b & 3c) were also prepared in the same manner as for example 3a. In example 3b, a copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone and long chain alpha-olefins (Genax V220) were used instead of the copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate; In example 3c, no polymer is used.

Example 4a describes a process for preparing anionic base emulsion compositions. In a first process step, phase A was prepared. For this 45.70% w/w water was added to a beaker and heated. Rest of the Phase A components corresponding to example 4a and listed in Table-4 were then added to the water under continuous stirring to obtain Phase A solution. Subsequently, 0.50% w/w of Ultra Thix P-100 was added to the Phase A under continuous stirring at 75° C. to obtain a homogeneous mixture of Phase A and Phase B. In a separate beaker, all the Phase C components corresponding to example 4a in Table-4, were mixed together and heated at 75° C. to obtain a yellow colored & a clear solution of phase C. The phase C solution was then added to the homogeneous mixture of phase A & phase B under continuous stirring. The temperature of the mixture of phases A, B and C is lowered to 65° C. Simultaneously, in a separate beaker, phase D components corresponding to example-4a in Table-4 were mixed together and added to the mixture of phases A, B and C at 65° C. 1.0% w/w of Phase E (Vinylpyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate copolymer) was added under continuous stirring at 55° C. to obtain a resultant composition. The pH of the resultant composition was adjusted to 6, if necessary. The resultant composition was cooled to 25° C.
Another set of skin care composition (corresponding to example 4b) was also prepared in the same manner as for example 4a. In example 4b, no polymer is used

Example 5a describes a process for preparing non-ionic base emulsion compositions. In a first process step, 76.80% w/w water, 0.050% w/w Tetrasodium EDTA, and 3.0% w/w Lubrajel were added together in a beaker and heated at 75° C. while heating, 0.60% w/w Ultra Thix P-100 was also added to the beaker to obtain a homogeneous mixture of phase A & phase B. In a separate beaker, all Phase C components corresponding to example 5a listed in Table-5 were mixed together under continuous stirring until watery white and hazy solution is obtained. The phase C solution is then added to the homogeneous mixture of phase A & phase B under continuous stirring. In a separate beaker, all phase D components corresponding to example-5a in Table-5 were mixed together under continuous stirring at 75° C. The phase D solution was then added to the main beaker having a mixture of Phase A, B and C to obtain a mixture of Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, and Phase D. In a separate process step, phase E components corresponding to Example 5a in Table 5 were added to obtain a clear and watery white solution of Phase E. The phase E solution was then added to the mixture of Phases A, B, C and D at 55° C. and mixed well. Followed to this, 1.0% w/w of Phase F (Vinylpyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate copolymer) was added to the mixture of phases A, B, C, D and E under continuous stirring at 55° C. to obtain a resultant composition. The pH of the resultant composition was adjusted to 6, if necessary. The resultant composition was cooled to 25° C.
Another set of skin care compositions (corresponding to examples 5b & 5c) are also prepared in the same manner as for example 5a. In example 5b, Aluminum starch Octenylsuccinate was used instead of the copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate; In example 5c, no polymers are used.
