The invention provides lipid bodies isolated from yeast, compositions comprising the lipid bodies, products made from the lipid bodies, methods of making the lipid bodies, and methods of using the lipid bodies. The lipid bodies of the invention have an exceptionally large size and high internal neutral lipid content, providing a number of advantages for a variety of practical applications.

There is provided a method of preparing silica nanocapsules, the method comprising mixing a surfactant with water at a temperature that is above the gel-to-liquid transition temperature of the surfactant to form a mixture, passing the mixture one or more times through at least one pore to obtain a dispersion of vesicles, and adding a silica precursor to the dispersion of vesicles to form silica nanocapsules. Also provided is a silica nanocapsule formed from a vesicle template, and a method of delivering one or more types of molecules to a subject. In a specific embodiment, hollow silica nanocapsules having substantially lens-shaped are synthesized by employing dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DODAB) or dioctadecyldimethyl ammonium chloride (DODAC) as the vesicle template and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica precursor.

The present invention relates to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic and, specifically, to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic containing: an oily portion; and a water-releasing ingredient that is spread out in the oily portion, wherein the water-releasing ingredient has water particles encompassed by a plurality of plate-shaped materials to which emulsifiers are bound. According to the present invention, provided is a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic, which can provide a moist and cool feeling by directly supplying a large quantity of water, has excellent dosage form stability by having a hardness suitable for stick cosmetics, and simultaneously has excellent application texture, excellent storage stability and excellent color tone.

A deodorant aerosol composition comprising (i) a deodorant material consisting of a mixture of zinc neodecanoate, a perfumery-compatible solvent oil and optionally at least one fragrance material, (ii) a hydrocarbon carrier fluid which is liquid at 20° C., and (iii) a propellant, wherein the hydrocarbon carrier fluid is saturated and has at least ten carbon atoms.

The invention relates to spray-dried, washfast dye compositions (preferably in the form of pigment powders) having a bleeding rate of ≤0.5% and consisting of water-soluble functional dyes, preferably food dyes, which are firmly incorporated in a silica matrix. Apart from low bleeding of dye, these compositions are remarkable for their high stability to pH changes and/or ascorbic acid. The invention is also directed to the production of the dye compositions and the use thereof. The dye compositions are preferably employed in coloring foods, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, but also in other uses.

Cosmetic products with a high concentration of propolis bioactive components produced using a new method that achieves increased concentration of, beneficial for skin health, phenolic components. The increase in the concentration of bioactive components is achieved by incorporating a piece of beeswax of specific dimensions into the cosmetic product after having been sprayed with propolis tincture. In the cosmetic product the extraction of the bioactive components of the propolis (terpenes, phenolic components) takes place assisted by the surfactants of the cosmetic product.

A skin cleansing article configured to deliver cosmetics or dermal therapies to a user's skin and a method of making the same are provided. For example, the skin cleansing article includes a core substrate comprising a resin. The core substrate has a first region containing a first active cleansing formulation and a second region containing a second active cleansing formulation. The skin cleansing article is substantially dry or solid and is water-dispersible or water-soluble. When the water-soluble core substrate is contacted with water having a temperature greater than 10° C. for a period of time, the core substrate is dispersible or soluble according to Testing Method MSTM-205 to release the first active cleansing formulation and/or the second active cleansing formulation.

Disclosed is a microcapsule comprising: (i) a core comprising a benefit agent; and (ii) a shell comprising silica; wherein said shell comprises plate-like inorganic materials having an average thickness of 1-1000 nm; wherein said benefit agent is fragrance, pro-fragrance, hair conditioning agent, anti-dandruff agent, moisturizers, emollients, dyes and/or pigments, colour care additives (including dye fixing agents), or a mixture thereof.

A cosmetic composition includes one or more solvents and one or more rejuvenation cosmetic components. The one or more solvents include dimethyl sulfoxide and/or dimethyl sulfone. The one or more rejuvenation cosmetic components, include botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, and/or exosomes. A delivery system includes a transdermal patch including the cosmetic composition. The cosmetic composition is topically applied to the skin of a patient.

An anhydrous stick composition, including deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, or a combination thereof; a carrier; a structurant; and a cyclodextrin perfume complex, comprising cyclodextrin and a perfume, wherein the perfume comprises perfume raw materials and 10% or more, by weight of the perfume, of the perfume raw materials have: a cyclodextrin complex stability constant of about 3.0 or less, a C log P of about 2.5 or less; and a weight average molecular weight of about 200 Daltons or less.
