A method for forming a coating on a skin surface using a nanofiber sheet, the method including: (1) applying to the skin a sheet transparentizing agent containing 2 mass % or more of one or more oil agent; and (2) transferring a white nanofiber sheet mainly composed of a water-insoluble polymer to the skin after (1), where the transferred white nanofiber sheet becomes transparent and the coating is a transparent coating through which the skin is visible.

Natural polymer-based fibrous elements including a modified polymer derived from a natural polymer and a surfactant, method for making such natural polymer-based fibrous elements and methods for making such fibrous structures are provided.

The present invention relates to preventing color transfer and sticking of powder-containing cosmetics to clothes or the like. A coating formation method of the present invention includes an electrostatic spraying step of electrostatically spraying a composition directly onto a skin surface onto which powder-containing cosmetics have been applied, thereby forming a coating on the skin. The composition contains a component (a) and a component (b) below. It is preferable that the method further includes a liquid agent applying step of applying a liquid agent containing one or more selected from water and oils that are in liquid form at 20° C. on the skin onto which the powder-containing cosmetics have been applied, wherein the liquid agent applying step is performed subsequent to the electrostatic spraying step. (a) One or more volatile substances selected from water, alcohols, and ketones; and (b) a polymer having a coating formation ability.

The invention relates to separated, decompacted, cellulose-based fibres acquired from a vegetable raw material, wherein the separated, decompacted, cellulose-based fibres have an aspect ratio after soaking in water of longitudinal diameter to transverse diameter of 1:1 to 1000:1 and a water-binding capacity of >200 wt. % and a water retention capacity of >50%, and a method for acquiring and producing these separated, decompacted cellulose-based fibres. The purification method involves incubation of the vegetable material with an aqueous decomposition solution containing at least one dissolved amino acid and/or peptide with 2-50 amino acids to decompose the compacted cellulose-based fibres.

An applicator for applying fibers to a surface is described herein. The applicator includes a body having a first end and a second end. The first end has a first opening configured to couple to a container housing the fibers and to receive the fibers from the container. The second end has a second opening for dispensing the fibers from the body. The applicator also includes an air flow generating member for creating an air current for propelling the fibers through the second opening as the fibres pass along a pathway between the first opening and the second opening. The fibers are directed along the pathway from the first opening towards the second opening and into the air current by gravity.

A wet wipe with a substrate having cellulosic fibers and a lotion is provided. The lotion may have between about 96.0% and about 99.5%, by weight of the lotion, of water. The lotion may have a preservative system having benzoic acid and/or a salt thereof, succinic acid and/or a salt thereof, and phytic acid and/or a salt thereof. The lotion may also have a pH buffering system and a pH of about 3.5 to about 5.

Disclosed is a composite for forming a coacervate interfacial film. The composite for forming the coacervate interfacial film contains a cationic hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle structure containing a hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle and a cationic surfactant coupled to a surface of the hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle, and an anionic cellulose nanofibril containing an anionic functional group in at least a portion thereof, in which the composite may form the coacervate interfacial film at an interface of an oil phase and a water phase through electrostatic interaction between the cationic surfactant and the anionic functional group.
