MOSQUITO REPELLENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING DEET AND WATER ISOLUBLE ACRYLATE POLYMER

摘要

Mosquito repellent compositions comprising an active agent and an oil-soluble, water insoluble acrylate polymer having specific solubility parameters of approximately 6-10 (cal/cc) 1/2 in poorly hydrogen bonding solvents are disclosed. The compositions are substantive to the skin, have increased effective lifetimes and are cosmetically acceptable.
