Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising hydroxyapatite and a silica abrasive as well as methods of reducing or inhibiting enamel erosion, repairing enamel erosion damage, increasing enamel microcrack resistance and/or increasing enamel microscratch resistance using these compositions.

A process is disclosed for obtaining citrus fiber from citrus peel. Citrus fiber is obtained having a c* close packing concentration value of less than 3.8 wt % anhydrous base. The citrus fiber can be used in food products, feed products, beverages, personal care products, pharmaceutical products or detergent products.

Disclosed is a cosmetic or dermatological preparation which comprises one or more extracts of Saxifraga oppositifolia (purple saxifrage) and/or one or more extracts of Soldanella alpina (alpine snowbell). The use of these extracts to combat extrinsic and intrinsic skin aging is likewise described.

Bleaching agents with improved resistance to oil separation and better miscibility with dye-containing formulations comprise—in relation to their weight—from about 0.015 to about 10 wt.-% ethylene octene copolymer(s), from about 5 to about 70 wt.-% oil component(s), from about 1 to about 70 wt.-% peroxydisulfate(s) chosen from the group of sodium peroxodisulfate and/or potassium peroxodisulfate and/or ammonium peroxodisulfate, and ≦1 wt.-% free water.

A thickened aqueous composition containing about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer, about 0.1% to about 20%, of a silicone elastomer; about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight, of a fatty alcohol; and from about 20% to about 98% of water.

Rheology modifiers comprising cross-linked poly(amino acid) and methods of their use in aqueous compositions. The modifiers comprise cross-linked poly(amino acid) microparticles having a mean equivalent diameter when fully swollen in deionized water of up to 1000 μm, as measured by laser diffraction. In particular, the poly(amino acid) is D-, L- or D,L-Y-poly(glutamic acid). A method of preparing the modifier comprises cross-linking a poly(amino acid), drying the cross-linked poly(amino acid) and grinding the cross-linked poly(amino acid) to have the required diameter.

The invention relates to stable, mild and moisturizing lamellar liquid cleansing compositions which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. However, these liquids often are either unstable or cause poor lather production and other sensory deficits The use of a specific ratio of total acyl isethionates to acyl glutamates or other divalent anionic surfactant in a structured liquid product improve stability and lather production, mildness and acceptable odor.

Disclosed is a self-invertible inverse latex comprising an aqueous phase containing: a) a crosslinked anionic polyelectrolyte (P) including: —at least one first monomer unit derived from 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl) amino] 1-propanesulfonic acid in the form of a free or partially or totally salified acid; —at least one second monomer unit derived from at least one monomer selected from the elements of the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-carboxyethyl acrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, 3-methyl 3-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl) amino] butanoic acid, the carboxylic function of said monomers being in the free, partially salified or totally salified acid form; and —at least one third monomer unit derived from a polyethylenic crosslinking monomer (AR); b) ethylenediamine disuccinic acid in the form of trisodium salt.

A physically stable skin care serum emulsion composition with a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The continuous phase can include from about 0.5% to about 1.5% sodium hyaluronate with a weight average molecular weight from about 500,000 to about 1,000,000 Da according to the European Pharmacopoeia Method. The continuous phase can also include a thickening agent that includes polyacrylamide polymers and copolymers. The dispersed phase can include silicone. The composition can have an average viscosity from about 4,000 cP to about 25,000 cP and can be stored and dispense via a dropper package.

A physically stable skin care composition with a continuous phase and a dispersed phase and a method for making the same. The continuous phase can include from about 0.5% to about 1.5% sodium hyaluronate with a weight average molecular weight from about 500,000 to about 1,000,000 Da according to the European Pharmacopoeia Method. The continuous phase can also include at least two thickening agents that can includes polyacrylamide polymers and copolymers and a carboxylic acid polymer. The dispersed phase can include silicone. The composition can have an average viscosity greater than 25,000 cP and the sodium hyaluronate can be fully hydrated.
