Zinc oxide compositions and methods for controlling zinc oxide particle size for sunscreen applications are provided herein. An example composition includes multiple zinc oxide particles, wherein each of the zinc oxide particles is (i) coated with an optical coating material and (ii) of a size that is below a maximum threshold; and a medium layer within which the zinc oxide particles are suspended, wherein the medium layer comprises a mixture of one or more media, and wherein each of the media has a refractive index below a predetermined threshold.

The present invention is directed to kit for cleansing and refreshing the hair and the scalp comprising (1) a leave-on aqueous cleansing composition comprising (a) a 1,2-diol having a carbon chain with a length of more than 8 carbons in its molecule, and (b) hydrophobic particles, and (2) a substrate for partially removing the leave-on aqueous cleansing composition from the hair and the scalp. The present invention is also directed to a method of cleansing and refreshing the hair and the scalp by applying a leave-on aqueous cleansing composition on the hair and the scalp and partially removing the composition using the substrate.

The present invention is directed to an aqueous hair care composition for cleansing and refreshing the hair and the scalp comprising a 1,2-diol having a carbon chain with a length of more than 8 carbons in its molecule, hydrophobic particles, and a malodor protection material. The malodor protecting material may be an odor blocking material, an odor masking material or an odor neutralizing material or a combination thereof. The hair composition may be a leave-on or a rinse-off composition.

Disclosed is a hydrophilic cosmetic composition comprising a surfactant and Dead Sea salts in the form of solid granules. The surfactant may include a mixture of an anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant or a mixture of a non-ionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant.
