Abstract:
1. Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning composition comprising: (a) from about 0.01 to about 15% by weight of the composition of 12-hydroxystearic acid; (b) from about 0.1 to about 30% by weight, of the composition of a nonionic surfactant comprising (b1) a high HLB ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil with an HLB above 10, and (b2) a low HLB ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil with an HLB below 10, (b3) wherein the weight ratio of high HLB ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil to low HLB ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil is from about 80:20 to about 5:95; (c) an inorganic neutralizing agent in an amount to maintain the pH of the composition in a range of from about 5.5 to about 8.0; (d) from about 0.05% to about 10% of a thickening polymer; (e) wherein the composition is an emulsion or cream and the viscosity of the composition is in the range of from about 1 Pas to about 500 Pas, (f) wherein the composition is structurally reversible through temperature cycling between room temperature and 50° C.
