Conventional cosmetics include an emulsified system combining an aqueous phase and an oily phase, which allow a combination of cosmetic active agents having different aqueous/oil affinities within the same system. However, these emulsified systems can be inconvenient because variation of the type or amount of materials in the emulsion can lead to destabilization of the emulsion and consequent variation of both the visual properties of the composition as well as the topical performance of the composition. In addition, the water adds unnecessary volume to the composition, raising transportation costs for the product. Anhydrous cosmetics are generally in the form of liquids or solids that require components that make the product opaque, readily water-soluble, and non-resistant to melting.

Table 1 illustrates the components used to form the skin treatment bar. All percentages in Table 1 are weight percentages unless otherwise indicated. “Final” percentages indicate wt % in the combined mixture of Phases A. B, and C. The ethylhexyl olivate was predominantly hexadecanoic acid (C16:0) and octadecenoic acid (C18:1 and C18:2) derived from olive oil fatty acids and esterified with ethylhexanol, and also included a small concentration of squalene.
Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil
Cocos Nucifera (coconut) oil (99.8%) and
Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Hibiscus) seed oil
Tanacetum annum (Tansy) essential oil
The Jojoba oil and ethylhexyl olivate were weighed into a main compounding vessel. The composition was continuously mixed using a magnetic stirring bar, and was heated to 148° C. The dibutyl ethylhexanoyl glutamide and dibutyl lauroyl glutamide were weighed out in a separate vessel and were slowly sifted into the main compounding vessel with vigorous mixing until no powder was visible on top of the composition, The main compounding vessel was heated to 150-155° C. (155° C. was not exceeded). Preparation of Phase A materials was complete once substantially all the glutamide particles were dissolved on inspection with the naked eye.
The Phase B components were weighted together in a separate vessel. After combining all the Phase B components, mixing at 50° C. was initiated and was continued until the mixture liquified and was translucent and nearly clear. The Phase B mixture was poured into the main compounding vessel, causing the temperature of the composition in the main compounding vessel to slightly drop. The main compounding vessel was stirred and was heated to 150-155° C. without exceeding 155° C. until the composition therein appeared clear and uniform. Once this occurred, the heating equipment was turned off, and the mixing was continued.
The Phase C components were weighed and combined together. The Phase C mixture was added to the Phase A/Phase B mixture in the main compounding vessel that has the heat turned off. Phase A, B, and C were mixed together in the main compounding vessel until the mixture was clear and uniform.
The mixture was then directly poured into silicone molds while the mixture was at 148-150° C. The pouring procedure was completed within 5 minutes. The product was allowed to cool for a minimum of 3 hours, and was then removed from the molds as solid bars. The bars were then processed for packaging.
