A viscous composition of the present invention comprises specific cellulose fibers (A), (A′) and (A″) and the specific cellulose fibers (A), (A′) and (A″) are used with appropriate selection according to uses of a cosmetic composition, a gel-like composition and a spray composition. Therefore, in case where the composition is used as the cosmetic composition, a cosmetic composition which is excellent in shape retention ability and dispersion stability and excellent in water tolerance to satisfy the properties and the performance which is necessary for cosmetics is obtained. Additionally, in case where the composition is used as a gel-like composition, gel-state can be kept without separation or water release. Furthermore, in case where the composition is used as a spray composition, since it is possible to time-dependently keep stable gel state even if functional additives such as electrolytes, ionic substances, etc. are contained, it is possible to mix various functional additives which is necessary for the use without any problem.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a dispersion of acrylic polymer particles, a thermoplastic elastomer, a semi-crystalline polymer and an organic solvent. The compositions of the present invention may optionally contain at least one colorant. The invention also relates to a method for making up and/or enhancing the appearance of a keratinous substrate, in particular lashes, by applying these compositions to the keratinous substrate.

The present invention provides peptoid polymers capable of reducing or inhibiting the formation of ice crystals at sub 0° C. temperatures. Also provided are peptoid-peptide hybrids comprising the peptoid polymers provided herein. The peptoid polymers and peptoid-peptide hybrids provided herein are useful for making cryoprotectant solutions. The peptoid polymers, peptoid-peptide hybrids, and cryoprotectant solutions provided herein are useful for making antifreeze solutions, frozen food products, and cosmetic care products. Also provided herein are methods for preserving a tissue, an organ, a cell, or a biological macromolecule using the compositions described herein.

Succinic acid esters of resveratrol and topical compositions containing the esters.

Disclosed are compositions including dihydroxyalkyl substituted polygalactomannan, and the optional further substitution of such with cationic and/or hydrophobic moieties. Method of making such compositions is also disclosed as well as the use of such compositions in industrial applications, fabric laundering, and personal and household care.

Improved dermal filler formulation comprising a hyaluronic acid and a botulinum toxin.

The present invention provides a composition containing component (A): a compound represented by the formula (1)

##STR00001##

wherein each symbol is as described in the DESCRIPTION or a salt thereof, component (B): a water-soluble moisturizing component and component (C): water, as a stable composition which is superior in affinity and adhesion to the skin and hair, easily provides effects as a cosmetic, and is also superior in the sustainability of the effect.

The present invention concerns the use of a specific copolymer to homogenize compositions that include coloring pigments and/or pearlescent pigments and film-forming polymers, as well as the cosmetic compositions containing said copolymer.

Disclosed are reusable false lashes that employ the latest nano technology wherein the nano glue is already built-in on the lashes. The lash features a special layer of pressure sensitive adhesive that may suitably be applied on the back of the base of false lashes so that the lashes may be easily adhered to human skin with strength. The lash is configured to use a cooperating eyeliner that may be applied beforehand to assist in adhering the false lash to the skin. A lash eyeliner system allows a user to simply clean or rinse the lash base after use with water so that the lashes can be reused.

The invention relates to fragrance mixtures comprising at least one 60 wt.-% fragrance molecules which are characterized such that they are oriented along a virtual axis X, Y and Z, having a dimension of X>5 angstrom, Y>3 angstrom and angstrom.
