wherein components (i) and (ii) are polymerized by radical precipitation polymerization in a polar solvent.

A low-viscosity water-in-oil cosmetic emulsion preparation gives a smooth use feeling, lightly spreads when applied, and has excellent dispersed-powder stability. The cosmetic emulsion preparation has (A) a polar oil which is liquid at 25° C. and has an IOB value exceeding 0.1, (B) a hydrocarbon oil, (C) a polyoxyalkylene; and alkyl-modified organopolysiloxane represented by general formula (I), and (D) a powder surface-treated with both an N-acylamino acid and methylpolysiloxane. (In formula (I), R represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-5 alkyl group, x is an integer of 5-50, y is an integer of 1-30, z is an integer of 20-200, a is an integer of 2-20, b is an integer of 1-5, c is an integer of 2-20, and d is an integer of 0-20). ##STR00001##

Disclosed are a novel self-assembled amino acid supramolecular polymer, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. The self-assembled supramolecular polymer is N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine or a salt thereof, and the salt thereof comprises sodium N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alaninate and potassium N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alaninate. The disclosed polymer is more effective at inhibiting bacteria and removing pesticides, and can be widely applied to the daily chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. Further disclosed are three methods for preparing the compound. The methods produce products in high yields and are suitable for industrial production.

An aqueous oxidizing compositions comprising one or more amino acids and hydrogen peroxide are described. The aqueous oxidizing compositions reduce hair damage during chemical services. The effect of hair damage reduction was found to be further improved when polycarboxylic acids were added to bleaching powder, oxidative dyeing, and permanent waving compositions.

Provided is a cosmetic composition which includes at least one silicone resin and at least one emulsifier.

The instant disclosure relates to a rheological-modifying and stabilizing polymer blend, cosmetic compositions comprising the polymer blend, and methods for stabilizing, for modifying viscosity, and for treating the skin using the polymer blend or using cosmetic compositions comprising the polymer blend. The rheological-modifying and stabilizing polymer blend comprises: (i) a carbomer; (ii) acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer; and (iii) ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/steareth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer.

The salt-stable cosmetic composition is in the form of a low viscosity emulsion (oil in water) and is especially stable at high electrolyte contents and includes a salt-stable polymeric system comprising a polymer blend such that the salt-stable cosmetic composition resists phase separation, pilling and gellifying at high salt content, conferring a flowable, lightweight lotion-type texture.

The invention relates to new oil gelling polyurethanes useful for preparing clear gels in organic media (oils, solvents) and to a process for their preparation. The invention also relates to the gels formed from these gelling polyurethanes and to compositions containing them, in particular cosmetic compositions.
