Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising a first film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85, a second film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85, a lipid having a melting point of at least 5 C., optical particle, and at least 20% of water by weight of the composition.

The present invention relates to the use of a blend of sugars comprising psicose, mannose, fructose and glucose to suppress the discoloration of vitamin B12 in aqueous compositions. Furthermore, the invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising said blend, Vitamin B12 and one or more preservatives selected from phenoxyethanol, (ethyl)hexylglycerin and/or an 10 1,2-alkandiol.

The present invention provides peptoid polymers capable of reducing or inhibiting the formation of ice crystals at sub 0 C. temperatures. Also provided are peptoid-peptide hybrids comprising the peptoid polymers provided herein. The peptoid polymers and peptoid-peptide hybrids provided herein are useful for making cryoprotectant solutions. The peptoid polymers, peptoid-peptide hybrids, and cryoprotectant solutions provided herein are useful for making antifreeze solutions, frozen food products, and cosmetic care products. Also provided herein are methods for preserving a tissue, an organ, a cell, or a biological macromolecule using the compositions described herein.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising an aqueous solution of at least about 70% by weight water in combination with selected fatty acid salts and optionally an alcohol and/or a cooling sensate, as well as methods of using the same to treat symptoms of hot flashes. The fatty acid salts form fiber-like crystalline particles that together form a self-supporting mesh structure with voids, the aqueous solution being contained in the voids. When the composition is compressed above a critical stress, the mesh allows for the entrapped aqueous solution to be expressed.

Described herein are personal care compositions comprising a sulfate-free surfactant system and a preservative system comprising an organic acid; along with methods of making and using same.
