Disclosed are mono-dose products and systems for caring for, cleansing, and/or conditioning keratinous substrates, comprising an internal core formulation comprising at least one component chosen from surfactants and conditioning agents, a protective shell coating comprising at least one structuring agent, and optionally a water-resistant coating comprising at least one wax. Also disclosed are methods of caring for, cleansing, and/or conditioning the skin, hair, and/or scalp with the mono-dose products and systems.

Copolymers are formed of monomers of poly(dimethylsiloxane) and poly(alkylene oxide) of the following formula: A.sub.x-XCH.sub.2CH.sub.2—[B.sub.yC.sub.z].sub.n—X-A.sub.x. In the formula, each X independently represents a —CH.sub.2— group or an oxygen atom, A represents a polydimethylsiloxane derivative, B represents a polyethylene glycol unit, C represents a polypropylene glycol unit, x and n independently represent an integer from 1 to 150, and y and z independently represent an integer from 0 to 150. The copolymers can be used as emulsifiers in personal care compositions.

The present invention relates to a composition, in particular cosmetic, in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, comprising a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed oil phase in the form of drops (G1) and drops (G2), wherein the size of the drops (G1) is less than 500 μm and the size of the drops (G2) is greater than 500 μm.

Provided is an oral care composition, e.g., a dentifrice, comprising a calcium abrasive, e.g., calcium carbonate, potassium nitrate (KNO.sub.3), and a basic amino acid, in free or salt form, e.g., arginine, in free or salt form, wherein the potassium nitrate is present in an amount of 0.1-1% by weight of the composition and methods of using the same.

This patent document discloses a kit containing abase component and an activating component for cosmetics, therapeutic and aesthetic application purposes. The kit, comprised innovative technology, ingredients, and formulations that overcome the drawbacks of unviable, unpractical, unwearable and unmarketable products, enables a film-formed “young-looking skin” to cling onto the real skin for much longer period of time, and is truly wearable and viable to the consumers for achieving the benefits of dramatically reducing or diminishing eye bags, dark circles, enlarged pores, wrinkles, age spots, and so on with desired and rapid results. The film is comfortable, invisible, safe, non-invasive and easy to wear.

A method for filling multiple colors of liquid color cosmetic materials, comprises the steps of: separating a sponge, into a plurality of sponge pieces by dividing the sponge; forming a coating film on the outer lateral side, or on the outer lateral side and on the lower surface of each of a plurality of the sponge pieces; impregnating different liquid color cosmetic materials into each of the sponge pieces having a coating film formed thereon; and fitting the angles of each of the sponge pieces, and coupling the sponge pieces. Liquid cosmetic materials having different colors are not mixed in one container without comprising a separate partition film, and a boundary line is clearly distinguished.

Dynamic make-up product having in its formulation magneto-chromatic microspheres, which modify their orientation and therefore the color of the make-up product under the action of a magnetic field, wherein said dynamic make-up product, once exhausted, is configured to be recharged by means of a refill containing interchangeable capsules inside which the dynamic make-up product is contained. The refill is inserted in a casing haying all the magnetic side surfaces which cooperate with a magnetic field source generating a magnetic force.

Disclosed is a cosmetic composition for, e.g., use on eyelashes, that includes a latex polymer and a polyhydroxyalkanoate, where the polyhydroxyalkanoate is present in the composition in a total amount of between about 1% and about 5% by weight, and the monomers of the polyhydroxyalkanoate have carbon chain lengths of between 3 and 5.

The present invention relates to mild, natural and sustainable powder cleansing composition which dissolves quickly in water providing excellent process ease to the consumer, to form a ready to use, homogenous personal care cleansing formulations. The personal care cleansing compositions of the present invention comprising blend of N-acyl glutamates and O-acyl isethionates, one or more co-surfactants, suspending agent and organic acid and when shaken with water at room temperature by the consumer, quickly dissolves over a period of less than 15 seconds to form ready to use cleansing compositions.

Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently bind at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the binding compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their free thiol state, for at least one week or one month, or more, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, hair coloring or highlighting, and hair straightening, are also provided.
