Example SI: Single Stage Polymer

[0034] A 1 -liter round-bottom flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, thermocouple, condenser and inlets for the addition of monomer and initiators was charged with deionized water (150.0 g), sodium dodeeyl sulfonate surfactant (3.3 g of a 23% DS-4) and sodium carbonate (LI g). The flask contents were then stirred and heated at 85 °C. A monomer emulsion was prepared by charging deionized water (81.1 g) and sodium dodeeyl sulfonate surfactant (3.1 g of 23% DS-4) to a container and set to stir. After the surfactant was incorporated into the water, butyl acrylate (BA)(50 g), ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA)(100 g), methyl methacrylate (MMA)(96.3 g), methacrylic acid (MAA)(3.8 g) and ally] methacrylate (AL,MA)(0.2 g) were added slowly to the stirring mixture in the container. A cofeed catalyst solution was also prepared by charging sodium persulfate (0.25 g) and deionized water (22 g) in another container. When the flask contents reached a temperature of 85 °C, 10 g of the above prepared monomer emulsion was charged to the flask, followed with a deionized water rinse (10 g) water rinse, followed by an initiator solution of sodium persulfate (0.9 g) in deionized water (5.7 g). After initial polymerization and at 85 °C, a monomer emulsion cofeed to the flask of the above prepared monomer emulsion was begun at a rate of 1 97 g/min. for 15 minutes and then at a rate of 3 93 g/min. for the next 75 minutes. Simultaneously, with the monomer emulsion cofeed the catalyst cofeed was begun at a rate of 0.24 g/min. for 92 minutes. At the completion of the cofeeds, the flask contents were chased to reduce the amount of residual monomers to provide the product single stage polymer.

Upon reaching temperature, potassium persulfate (2.2 parts) was added to the flask contents while maintaining the temperature controller at 80 °C. After three hours after the potassium persulfate addition,

2,2'-azobis[/V-(2-carboxyethyl)-2-methylpropionamidine] tetrahydrate (2.2 parts) was added to the flask contents while maintaining the temperature controller at 80 °C.

The Phase II ingredients were then added to the flask contents with mixing until uniform. The Phase III ingredients were then added to the flask contents with mixing until uniform.

In-vitro SPF Measurements

[0038] The suncare formulations prepared according to Comparative Examples C1-C4 and Examples 1-6 were each allowed to settle for one week before in-vitro SPF

measurements. The in-vitro SPF performance of each of the suncare formulations was then tested in triplicate using an in-vitro technique according to the following protocol.

[0039] The substrate used for the in-vitro SPF measurements was a rough PMMA substrate (6 pm - HD6 available from Schonberg GMBH & Co. KG). The suncare formulations to be tested were each applied to three separate rough PMMA substrates using an RDS #7 wire draw down bar to provide a uniform layer of the suncare formulation over the surface of the PMMA substrate at a rate of 1.2 to 1.3 mg/cm ² . Each deposited layer of suncare formulation was allowed to dry for fifteen (20) minutes under ambient conditions in the laboratory. The UV absorption of each dried layer of suncare formulation between 290 nm and 400 nm was then measured at six (6) separate points using a Labsphere UV-2000S Spectrometer. The in-vitro SPF value for each suncare formulation prepared according to Comparative Examples C1-C4 and Examples 1-6 was then calculated based on the results of the UV absorption measurements. The average from the triplicate samples of each suncare formulation prepared according to Comparative Examples C1-C4 and Examples 1-6 is reported in in TABLE 3. TAM E 3

The substrates were then removed from the water bath and left to dry under ambient laboratory conditions for 20-30 minutes after which the in-vitro SPFs for each formulation was measured and compared to its original in-vitro SPF measurement and the 1 hour SPF retention was calculated as reported in

TABLE 4. The substrates were then each immersed in the controlled temperature water bath under the noted conditions for an additional hour. The substrates were then removed from the water bath and left to dry under ambient laboratory conditions for 20-30 minutes after which the in-vitro SPFs for each formulation was measured and compared to its original in-vitro SPF measurement and the 2 hour SPF retention was calculated as reported in

The color reading of each sample was then measured by colorimeter (Ocean Optics). The wear resistance of the deposited film of color cosmetic formulations was characterized by the change (DE) before and after abrasion with a pre-cut bath towel (55 mm x 45 mm). The bath towel was fixed to a moving robotic part that moves back and forth periodically at a constant speed. The film was abraded by the bath towel by 3 wear cycles under a pressure of approximately 600 Pa, each wear cycle lasts 6 seconds. Readings were taken from five point on each deposited film. The average of the five readings from each of the duplicate deposited films is provided in TABLE 7.
