A method for producing a powder lead is disclosed, wherein at least one colourant, at least one filler and at least one binder are mixed with a carrier liquid, leads are shaped from the wet compound, the leads shaped in step b) are guided through a chamber in which they are exposed to a pulverulent covering agent, and the powdered leads are guided into a drying apparatus and dried therein.

Provided is a polyurethane gel composition containing A and B below. Here, A represents a polyurethane obtained by reaction of (a) a hydrogenated polybutadiene having isocyanate groups at the terminals and (b) a glycol represented by HO—R.sub.3—OH (wherein R.sub.3 represents a linear or branched C2 to C6 alkylene group optionally having an ether bond), or A represents a polyurethane obtained by reaction of (c) a hydrogenated polybutadiene having hydroxyl groups at the terminals, (d) a diisocyanate compound, and the (b) glycol represented by HO—R.sub.3—OH (wherein R.sub.3 represents a linear or branched C2 to C6 alkylene group optionally having an ether bond), and B represents an oil agent. The polyurethane gel composition of the present invention is particularly useful as a raw material for cosmetics since a film of an oil-soluble gel obtained using the polyurethane gel composition is exceptionally excellent in any point of transparency, high gloss, elasticity, and resilience.

An anhydrous broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen composition (e.g., compact or stick; which may be untinted, tinted, or contain shimmer-imparting ingredients) consisting essentially of: (a) two Photoprotective Metal Oxides that block, reflect, refract or otherwise attenuate ultraviolet radiation (i) at least one Zinc Oxide particle, preferably uncoated and having an average particle size of greater than about 100 nanometers (ii) and at least one Titanium Dioxide particle, preferably coated, (b) two Siliceous Compounds—(i) an amorphous spherical silica and (ii) a mixture of diatomaceous algae comprising at least two, preferably three, and still more preferably all four of Fragilaria zeilleri, Gomphomena angustatum, Navicula radiosa, and Cyclotella andancensis, wherein each algal species has photonic and porous silica crystals and (c) two Film-Forming Polymers, preferably copolymers of Dimethicone.

The invention is directed to a composition comprising a first low-melt wax, a second low-melt wax, a high-melt wax, one or more oil phases, and optionally a flavoring agent.

Methods for reclaiming formula components of an antiperspirant composition and recycling formula into its component parts for recycling into an antiperspirant composition.

An anhydrous personal care composition, comprising: (a) 45 to 60 weight % of at least one ester, selected from (i) triglycerides, (ii) diglycerides, (iii) monoglycerides, (iv) monoesters of diols, and (v) diesters of diols; (b) a first wax having a melting point of from 35° C. to 72° C. present in an amount of 5 to 25 weight %; (c) a second wax having a melting point of 73 to 90° C. present in an amount of 0.5 to 15 weight %; and (d) at least one plant oil having a saponification value of from 150 to 275 mg KOH/g present in an amount of 5 to 35 weight.

An antiperspirant composition having less than 2% free water and comprising a first salt that is M(i)AI(SO.sub.4).sub.2 or Al.sub.2(SO.sub.4).sub.3 and a second salt that is CaX.sub.2, wherein X is CI.sup.−, Br.sup.−, I.sup.−, NO.sub.3.sup.− or mixture thereof, wherein the first salt and the second salt are formulated or contained in a manner that prevents physical interaction between these two components prior to their application and wherein the product also comprises a third salt which is an inorganic base selected from metal hydroxide or carbonate or metal oxide having a water solubility of at least 0.01 g/dm.sup.3 at 20° C.

The invention relates to a composition for slowing cellular ageing which comprises at least: S-Adenosyl-methionine; an extract of at least one adaptogenic plant selected among plants belonging to the Astragalus, Dioscorea, Schisandra, Panax, Eleuterococcus, Rosmarinus, Pfaffia, Morinda, Cordyceps or Lepidium genera; a vitamin selected among the B vitamins, vitamin C, or a mixture thereof; except for compositions comprising 7-keto-DHEA and an extract of one or more adaptogenic plants belonging to the Dioscorea or Lepidium genera. A liquid or solid food supplement can be characterised in that it comprises the composition. A dermatologically acceptable composition can be characterised in that it comprises at least 10 wt % of the composition.

A method for producing a powder lead is disclosed, wherein at least one colourant, at least one filler and at least one binder are mixed with a carrier liquid, leads are shaped from the wet compound, the leads shaped instep b) are guided through a chamber in which they are exposed to a pulverulent covering agent, and the powdered leads are guided into a drying apparatus and dried therein.

The present disclosure relates to the field of delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for preparing a powdered composition including granules. The granules include at least one active substance present in an encapsulated form and in a non-encapsulated form. They are obtained by drying a mixture including an aqueous phase of a water-soluble polymer, a Pickering emulsion including a non-encapsulated active substance and a microcapsule slurry including an encapsulated active substance that can differ or being the same as the non-encapsulated substance. The disclosure further relates to granules obtained by the process and to products containing them.
