Compositions and devices are described that provide controlled release of beneficial bacteria to the oral cavity. Such bacteria can subsequently colonize the oral cavity and displace or suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Described devices include a stabilized preparation of such beneficial bacteria and provide a consumable liquid, wet foam, or gel that includes such bacteria when used.

Semisolid oral dispersions for improving the health and/or appearance of the oral cavity. The semisolid oral dispersions include hydrophilic active agent particles in hydrophobic phase. The hydrophilic active agent particles can include bleaching agents, antimicrobial agents, anticalculus agents, and/or combinations thereof. The hydrophilic active agent particle can have a solubility in water of at least about 20 parts, by weight of the particles, in about 100 parts, by weight, of water.

The invention is directed to a foam precursor liquid and foam cleansing composition that comprise a cellulose ether and surfactant. The precursor liquid results in a foam with excellent lather characteristics upon dispensing from a pump foam dispenser, and the liquid does not thicken to impede or clog the dispenser it is dispensed from. The foam precursor liquid is easily pourable prior to dispensing and makes refilling and reusing pump foam dispensers very convenient for consumers conscious about using less plastic.

The disclosure is directed to processes and methods of reducing bloating and breakage of containers and packaging that house oral care compositions. Also contemplated are products and formulations that are produced or obtained from the processes and methods described herein.

A hair cosmetic composition containing or being prepared by blending a component (A), a component (B), and a component (C) below: component (A): a cationic surfactant, component (B): an amphoteric surfactant, and component (C): one or more kinds selected from the group consisting of a nonionic surfactant (C1), a modified silicone having a cationic group (C2), and a sugar alcohol having 4 or more carbon atoms (C3), having a mass ratio [(B)/(A)] of 0.4 or more and 5 or less, having a content of a higher alcohol of 0.1% by mass or less, and being used by filling up a non-gas type foam discharge container, and hair cosmetics using the hair cosmetic composition are provided.

A truffle configured cosmetic article which includes a protective outer shell, an inner volume of cosmetic and a capsule positioned in the cosmetic containing active ingredients. An appliance is adapted to receive the article, heat and blend the article to produce a warm skin formulation which can be applied by the user. The article is produced with the use of a mold. A combination of wax and coconut oil is melted and applied to most of the interior surface of the mold, defining a volume into which a cosmetic is applied as well as a capsule additive. The article is then sealed with additional wax and coconut oil material. The article is then released and ready for use in the appliance or to be wrapped.

An aerosol antiperspirant or deodorant product with a dispenser with a dispenser container filled with nitrogen gas and a reservoir filled with antiperspirant or deodorant composition. The composition is dispensed without substantial clogging in the valve assembly or changes to the mass flow rate and/or average particle size distribution.

A cleansing composition containing pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, and a co-surfactant. The cleansing compositions can help skin maintain its natural barrier against bacteria, can help balance skin's pH, and can help skin retain moisture.

The present invention relates to novel 1-hexyl-1H-pyrazole-4,5-diamine derivative compounds of formula (I), to a composition for oxidation dyeing of the keratin fibres containing same, to a process for preparing the compounds of formula (I), to reaction intermediates, to an oxidation dyeing process using the composition, to the use of the compounds of formula (I) for oxidation dyeing of keratin fibres, and also to a kit; and to the 1-hexyl-4,5-diaminopyrazole derivative compounds of formula (I) below: ##STR00001##
and also the addition salts thereof with organic or mineral acids, the tautomers thereof, and the solvates thereof such as hydrates, in which ALK is as defined in the description.

Methods are described that provide controlled release of beneficial bacteria to the oral cavity. Such bacteria can subsequently colonize the oral cavity and displace or suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Described devices include a stabilized preparation of such beneficial bacteria and provide a consumable liquid, wet foam, or gel that includes such bacteria when used.
