Cosmetic compositions are widely used to obtain certain benefits like e.g. anti-aging, skin lightening and moisturizing effect. These benefits are delivered by benefit agents (actives) like e.g. anti-oxidants, hyaluronic acid and resorcinol, pheynylethyl resorcinol and 4-alkyl substituted resorcinol. However, these actives have a certain shelf life beyond which they tend to degrade in terms of chemical activity and/or their color stability. The present invention discloses a novel process to prepare cosmetic compositions that improved color stability of resorcinol, pheynylethyl resorcinol and 4-alkyl substituted resorcinol and compositions comprising such actives when prepared as per said process.

Compositions for topical application that effectively deliver antioxidants across the epidermis, dermis, or a combination thereof into cells and/or the bloodstream while concurrently maintaining chemical activity of the antioxidants. In certain aspects, these formulations include emulsions and balms each having a lipophilic carrier and a lipophilic antioxidant solubilized by the lipophilic carrier. Also disclosed herein are methods for making these compositions for topical application.

Provided herein is a method of reducing or preventing sunburn caused from visible and ultraviolet radiation in a subject, the method comprising topically applying to the subject a sunscreen composition comprising inorganic UV filtering agents, antioxidants, and at least one inorganic pigment, wherein the at least one inorganic pigments and antioxidants are present in an amount effective to reduce or prevent sunburn caused from visible light. Also provided herein are sunscreen compositions and methods of increasing the SPF of a sunscreen composition that comprises at least one inorganic UV filtering agent.

The invention also relates to the use of a skin care composition of the invention for treating or preventing acne.

A non-aerosol and non-oily fragrance product comprising a uniformly diffusive hair mist spray formulation including: about 0.1-15.0 percent by weight fragrance, about 5.0-10.0 percent by weight solubilizer, about 3.0-4.9 percent by weight ethylhexylglycerin, about 0.5-5.0 percent by weight propanediol, about 38.0-50 percent by weight alcohol, and up to about 45.0 percent by weight water (aqua). The product can also include about 0.01-15.0 percent by weight additives such as amino acid complex. The hair mist product is free of silicone, which can weigh down the hair, and contains no quaternium or cationic compounds. The hair mist spray is VOC compliant, exhibits long-lasting fragrance notes, and enhances hair shine with a non-greasy and silky luxurious feel.

The present invention relates to an additive composition for cosmetics material containing vitamin-C, the additive composition improving the feel on the skin of vitamin-C which is an anti-oxidant.
