Abstract:
1. A personal skin care composition consisting essentially of: (a) from about 50% to about 77%, based on the total weight of the composition, of water; (b) from about 0.6% to about 0.9%, based on the total weight of the composition, of a preservative mixture, said preservative mixture selected from the group consisting of phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and isobutylparaben; (c) from about 8% to about 12%, based on the total weight of the composition, of a carbomer; (d) from about 4.2% to about 6.3%, based on the total weight of the composition, of tridecyl stearate; (e) from about 1.6% to about 2.4%, based on the total weight of the composition, of hydrogenated lecithin; (f) from about 1.2% to about 1.8%, based on the total weight of the composition, of behenyl alcohol; (g) from about 0.08% to about 0.12%, based on the total weight of the composition, of stearyl glycyrrhetinate; (h) from about 2.8% to about 4.2%, based on the total weight of the composition, of octyldodecyl myristate; (i) from about 0.1% to about 10%, based on the total weight of the composition, of squalane; (j) from about 0.16% to about 0.24%, based on the total weight of the composition, of an approximately 18% solution of sodium hydroxide and water; (k) from about 2.4% to about 3.6%, based on the total weight of the composition, of a mixture consisting of glucosamine HCl, red algae extract, yeast extract, and urea; (1) from about 0.24% to about 0.36%, based on the total weight of the composition, of benzalkonium chloride; (m) from about 0.16% to about 0.24%, based on the total weight of the composition, of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate; and (n) stoichiometrically balanced amounts of hydroxyl ions and stearates, wherein the hydroxyl ions are neutralized by the stearates; and wherein the composition has a pH between 6.0 to 7.0 and a viscosity of LV T-E @ 0.3 rpm of 150,000 cps.
