The invention relates to a hair care composition comprising: from about 23 weight % to about 45 weight % total surfactant; from about 15 weight % to about 45 weight % anionic surfactant; from about 1 wt % to about 4.75 wt % soluble salt, and an aqueous carrier, wherein the hair care composition has a viscosity of less than 8,000 cP at 26.5 C. The hair care composition can be dispensed as a foam.

A method of increasing the solubility of a water-insoluble or slightly water-soluble hydrophobic organic compound in an aqueous solvent includes adding a saponin component selected from escin, glycyrrhizin, and Quillaya saponaria extract to the aqueous solvent in an amount sufficient to trigger the formation of micelles, wherein in a first step the hydrophobic organic compound is pre-dissolved in an organic solvent, and in a second step the organic solvent comprising the pre-dissolved compound is admixed to the aqueous solvent, whereby at least a part of the insoluble or slightly soluble hydrophobic organic compound gets solubilized and dissolved in the aqueous solvent, yielding an aqueous composition having an increased concentration of said organic compound dissolved therein. Also indicated are pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions including a water-insoluble or slightly water-soluble organic compound dissolved in an aqueous solvent at substantially increased concentrations.

Improved formulations for topical treatment that ensure at least localized transdermal or systemic delivery of an active agent through skin, nails or hair follicles are disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a mouthwash composition containing an amine fluoride or amine base plus fluoride and an alkyl glucoside, as well as related methods for use of said compositions.

Methods for forming dermatological compositions that deliver water and/or other hydrophilic compounds into or through the dermis using reverse micelles. The methods include forming compositions with an oil-based continuous phase and an emulsifier that form nanoparticle micelles. The nanoparticle micelles are formulated into biocompatible topical ointments that are stable at room temperature and can be distributed in consumer packaging and consumer distribution channels.

A hair care composition comprising from about 10% to about 25% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.01% to 10% of one or more surfactant soluble antidandruff agents; from about 0.5% to 10% of one or more thickening polymers that are able to raise the viscosity of the formulation to at least 3000 cps at 2 s.sup.1; wherein the composition without thickening polymer has a viscosity of less than about 3000 cps at 2 s.sup.1 and is unable to be thickened above 3000 cps at 2 s.sup.1 with sodium chloride salt in the range of about 0.1% to about 3%.

The present invention relates to a liquid drop releasing cosmetic material, and particularly to a cosmetic material of releasing liquid drop by rubbing, which comprises: (a) a card house structure having a space formed with a plate-shaped substance therein; and (b) liquid drop contained in the space of the card house structure.

A liquid drop releasing cosmetic material according to the present invention has an excellent visual effect and feeling of use by releasing liquid drop due to rubbing during use and fundamentally solves side effect and antipathy of users due to silicone polymer because it is free from a silicone polymer, and has excellent stability in a cosmetic material of a drop releasing structure.

Improved formulations for topical treatment that ensure at least localized transdermal or systemic delivery of an active agent through skin, nails or hair follicles are disclosed.

A composition that includes an activatable aggregate is described herein. The aggregate has a core and a shell. In some embodiments, when the aggregate is exposed to acoustic energy, the core of the aggregate includes a hydrogel that is capable of absorbing a relatively large amount of water. The core of the aggregate is covalently bound to a shell of linear aliphatic moieties. The aggregate is synthesized to minimize the amount of water in the core, prior to exposure to acoustic energy. Methods of hydrating using the compositions are also provided.
