SUNSCREEN OR MEDICINAL WIPES HAVING HIGH SUNSCREEN FORMULATION TRANSFER RATE

摘要

Sunscreen wipes comprising a thixotropic, quick-breaking sunscreen formulation are disclosed. The sunscreen formulation comprises water, at least one sunscreen active, Pemulen TR-2, a stabilizing emulsifier, and a neutralizing agent. By formulating the sunscreen formulation such that it has specific high shear and low shear viscosities at a pH range of from about 5 to about 6, the transfer rate of the sunscreen formulation to the skin during use is significantly increased as compared to conventional sunscreen wipes. The present invention is further directed to a medicinal wipe comprising a wipe substrate and a medical formulation. The medicinal formulation comprises water, Permulen TR-2, high spreadability emollient, medicinal active (such as skin protectant agent psoriasis medication, antifungal agent, anorectal drug or acne medication), stabilising emulsifier and neutralising agent.
