According to the present invention there is provided a cosmetic composition comprising a cosmetically acceptable carrier and a surfactant system consisting of: (i) an anionic surfactant; (ii) an amphoteric surfactant; and (iii) a non-ionic surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.5% to about 25% by weight of the surfactant system, wherein the amphoteric surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.5% to about 50% by weight of the surfactant system, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.5% to about 45% (e.g. 43%) by weight of the surfactant system, and wherein the total amount of the surfactant system present in the cosmetic composition is from about 1.5% to about 25% by weight of the composition.

The present invention relates to cosmetic skin care compositions which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and an anionic emulsifier. The copolymer is used in a cosmetic composition comprising the anionic emulsifier for reducing the material transfer to a contacted surface. Preferably the copolymer is polyquaternium-110.

The present invention relates to cosmetic skin care compositions which comprise a hyperbranched copolymer of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine having quaternary terminal groups and at least one non-ionic emulsifier being an ether or an ester of (poly)ethylene glycol.

Water-in-oil sunscreen emulsion compositions including an aqueous phase emulsified within an external fatty phase are provided. The external fatty phase includes at least one silicone fatty compound and at least about 10% by weight of organic UV filters with respect to the entire sunscreen composition. The compositions include an emulsifying silicone elastomer and a non-elastomeric silicone surfactant.

The compositions further include swellable clay and pigment.

A non-Newtonian, lyophilic colloid comprised of (i) at least one anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (ANSG) having a molecular weight greater than about 500 kDa and (ii) glycerin.

The present application is directed to a cosmetic composition comprising melanoidins, wherein said melanoidins are characterized by having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of from 200 daltons to 300 kDa, preferably from 1 to 300 kDa and more preferably from 1 to 100 kDa, for example from 10 to 100 kDa. The melanoidins are obtainable or are obtained by a process comprising the steps of: a) providing a particulate foodstuff which comprises melanoidins; b) treating said particulate foodstuff with an aqueous extractant solution having a pH greater than 7 to extract melanoidins as solute in the aqueous phase; c) physically separating said aqueous phase from the residual treated particulate foodstuff; d) fractionating the dispersed or dissolved components of said aqueous phase on the basis of molecular weight; and, e) dehydrating said fractionated aqueous phase to obtain at least one solid melanoidin fraction therefrom.

The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an antiperspirant composition free from aluminum and/or zirconium salt, and/or zinc based antiperspirant active, comprising an oil-in-water emulsion comprises oil phase and an emulsifier, wherein said oil phase comprises a lipophilic material having a melting point greater than 40° C.; wherein said composition comprises at least 4 wt % of said lipophilic material.

Disclosed are personal care compositions, e.g., natural liquid soap compositions, comprising an effective amount of a long chain alkyl (C.sub.6-C.sub.22) anionic surfactant (e.g., disodium 2-sulfolaurate), an effective amount of an amphoteric surfactant (e.g., cocamidopropyl betaine), an effective amount of one or more alkyl glucoside(s) (e.g., decyl glucoside and coco-glucoside); and water, as well as to methods of using these compositions.
