The present invention provides a stable peptide-conjugated, ascorbic acid derivative, a method for preparing the same, and a cosmetic composition comprising the same as an active ingredient. The stable peptide-conjugated ascorbic acid derivative of the present invention has both the effect of whitening the skin by inhibiting melanin production and the effect of reducing skin wrinkles by activating collagen production, and may be used in a cosmetic composition.

The present disclosure is broadly concerned with petrolatum-based compositions as a suspension matrix for the active ingredients. The disclosure is also concerned with processes for forming stable emulsions of active ingredients in petrolatum.

This invention provides particles encapsulating active agent that do not produce functional effects or remove functional effects until they are triggered by contacting with at least one exogenous source. The particles in this invention minimize toxic effects to the body of the active agent and the material that interacts with an exogenous source as well as minimize body chemicals from degrading both the active agent and the material that interacts with an exogenous source inside the particle.

Methods of enhancing deposition of a high viscosity benefit agent can include manufacturing a personal care composition comprising the high viscosity benefit agent and a low viscosity benefit agent by adding the high viscosity benefit agent and the low viscosity benefit agent separately to a cleansing phase.

Methods for enhancing fragrance of a rinse-off cleansing composition prior to use can include combining surfactant, perfume, solvent, and water, to form the composition, wherein the composition is not a ringing gel.

A method of formulating a personal cleansing product that will adhere to skin, includes: combining a cleansing composition with from about 18% to about 70%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant; wherein the composition has a low shear viscosity of 100 Pa*s or more and a high shear viscosity 5 Pa*s or less; and a package with an orifice, wherein the package has a dispensing velocity of 50 cm/s or more.

A hybrid mint plant characterized by an essential oil composition profile, methods of cultivating the hybrid mint plant, and methods of producing an essential oil composition with the essential oil composition profile using the hybrid mint plant are disclosed.
