1) 7544352 Cosmetic Powder Composition With Improved Moisturization Properties and Process For Making and Using Same. Halloysite can be used to make time release moisturizing cosmetic powder. A cosmetic powder composition is provided for retarding moisture loss from skin to which the powder is applied. The cosmetic powder composition has a moisturizer coated filler powder and a time release moisturizing agent.
2) JP08048613 Powdery Cosmetic. When used in cosmetics, rod shaped halloysite nanotubes improve adhesion and reduce caking.
3) US20070202061 Cosmetic Skincare Applications Employing Mineral-Derived Tubules For Controlled Release. Halloysite nanotubes can be used to create topical skin treatments with extended release properties. Compositions and methods pertaining to the topical treatment of skin are disclosed. This invention relates to topical compositions for regulating the condition of skin, especially for regulating visible and/or tactile discontinuities in skin associated with skin aging, environmental affects and the like.
4) US20030161866 Novel Pharmaceutical Formulation to Limit or Delay Surface Absorption. Halloysite can reduce surface absorption of active ingredients such as insect repellent and sunscreen.
5) US20070292459 Halloysite microtubule processes, structures, and compositions. Halloysite can be filled with two or more active ingredients for for sequential time release applications.
6) 6503495 Cosmetic compositions having improved wear and beauty. Halloysite clay can be used to add several wear benefits to mascara.
7) 6074672 Powdered Cosmetic Compositions Containing Silicone Elastomers. Halloysite can be a major ingredient in skin enhancing cosmetic powders.
8) US20130078293 Hybrid Powder of Halloysite Nanotube and Light-Scattering Nanoparticle, Method for Preparing the Same, and UV-Screening Cosmetic Composition Containing the Same Active Ingredient. Halloysite is effective and safe for use in UV-screening cosmetics.The light-scattering nanoparticles are loaded into the halloysite nanotubes, which can prevent the light-scattering nanoparticles from penetrating the skin, which minimizes side effects, such as redness and irritation.
9) US20090232887 Pharmaceutical Compostion Having Reduced Abuse Potential. The controlled release of active ingredients from halloysite nanotubes increases safety of pharmaceuticals.
