Study Notes

Cosmetics

  • Cosmetics are articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on or introduced into the human body to cleanse, beautify, promote attractiveness, or alter appearance.

Classification of Cosmetics

  • Classified according to their uses, including:
    • Skin care products
    • Antiperspirant and deodorant
    • Color cosmetics (lip color, face makeup)
    • Hair care products
    • Anti-dandruff preparations
    • Dentifrices preparations
    • Acne preparations
    • Baby care products
    • Fragrance preparations

Skin Care Products

  • Two types: products with cosmetic effects and products with pharmacological effects
  • Designed to interact with and treat the skin, the largest organ of the body

Moisturizers

  • Purpose: restore and maintain skin in a good-looking, fully moisturized condition
  • Maintained by hydrating with water, followed by occlusives and humectants
  • Occlusivity: reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) by slowing moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR)
  • Humectancy: materials that attract and bind water to the skin
  • Typical humectants: glycerin, sorbitol, sodium lactate, and sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate

Types of Moisturizers

  • Semi-solid emulsions (creams)
  • Flowable emulsions (lotions)
  • Five types of moisturizing products:
    • All-purpose creams
    • Hand and body lotions
    • Hand and body creams
    • Facial moisturizing lotions
    • Facial night creams

All-Purpose Creams

  • W/O emulsions or high-oil content O/W emulsions
  • Heavy consistency, significant drag on rub-out
  • Oil phase: 30-70%
  • Characteristics: protective, treatment products, and resist wash-off

Hand and Body Lotions

  • O/W emulsions
  • Oil phase: 10-15%
  • Humectant phase: 5-10%
  • Water phase: 75-85%
  • Characteristics:
    • Easy flow and pumpability
    • Fast rub-in
    • Lack of stickiness after rub-in
    • Instantly hydrate the skin
    • Relieve dry skin symptoms
    • Reduce MVTR
    • Prolonged skin improvement

Hand and Body Creams

  • O/W emulsions
  • Higher oil phase and humectant levels than lotions
  • Characteristics:
    • Easy to apply
    • Fast rub-in
    • Good esthetics
    • Resist wash-off
    • Sold in jars or tubes

Facial Moisturizer Lotions

  • Lower concentrations of occlusive agents and humectants than hand and body lotions
  • Quick-breaking, instant-absorbing products with a matte finish
  • Characteristics:
    • Good moisturizing capability
    • Reduce MVTR rates
    • Immediate and short-duration effect on superficial facial lines

Facial Moisturizer Creams (Night Creams)

  • Higher levels of occlusive and humectant materials than facial moisturizer lotions
  • Lighter emollients, quick-breaking emulsions, and controlled levels of humectant materials
  • Characteristics:
    • Excellent moisturizing capabilities
    • Effect on superficial facial lines
    • Additives: volatile silicones for improved rub-in, break, and non-greasy after feel with a matte finish
