In addition, a preferred embodiment of the water in oil type cosmetic composition for preventing syneresis of the present disclosure is characterized by the compound which is solubilized by being neutralized being a water soluble compound which has a sulfonic acid group. Further, a water in oil type cosmetic of the present disclosure is characterized by containing: a compound which is solubilized by being neutralized; a gelling agent; water; and a powder component; the viscosity of the water in oil cosmetic being greater than or equal to 7000 mPa.Math.s.

A personal care composition includes a structured cleansing phase; a benefit phase including triglycerides, a cationic deposition polymer, and anionic microcapsules; and a carrier; and methods relating thereto.

The present invention relates to novel compounds and their use as fragrance materials.

The invention includes an improved wax melt in a foam safety media of melamine for subsequent melting in a conventional warmer or other candle melting device. The melts release their fragrance when heated conventionally but remain associated with the foam safety media during use to be substantially spill-proof. The melts are produced by piping heated liquid wax with fragrance and other desirable components into a container that dispenses discrete quantities onto a melamine foam safety media on a moving conveyor for cooling and hardening and subsequent packaging into discrete wax melts in a melamine foam safety media.

Systems and methods for generating user-specific recommendations of products or services by collaborative filtering executed and/or performed by one or more trained or untrained predictive models configured to ingest product attribute(s), product purpose(s), user location data, and/or user demographics. The predictive model(s) are leveraged to detect and determine user-specific preferences for, and preferences against, particular attributes, features, ingredients, aesthetic styles, and so on.
