A deodorizing cosmetic agent in the form of a suspension and related methods of use. The deodorizing cosmetic agent includes 1.0 to 35 wt % at least one hectorite, 55 to 95 wt % at least one oil, less than 3.0 wt % water. The deodorizing cosmetic agent does not include any aluminum-containing compounds.

A method for applying an emollient fluid to the skin includes cooling an emollient fluid and applying the cooled fluid to the skin. The emollient fluid may be made from a powdered plant product mixed into an aqueous medium. The fluid may be cooled to form a solid which is applied to the skin. Optionally, the solid is formed on an applicator which serves as a handle for the user. A kit which includes a mold, an applicator and a supply of emollient product is provided. The powdered plant product may be made from a powdered plant, powdered fruit or powdered extract of any one or more of pineapple, pumpkin, rice, banana, oats, cucumber, strawberry, lemon peel, watermelon, guava, mango avocado, tomato, blueberries, pomegranate, green tea (matcha), spirulina, dragon fruit, and beet.

Antimicrobial micro- or nanoparticles comprising a chlorhexidine salt and an anion, and a method of making the antimicrobial micro- or nanoparticle, are disclosed. The anion in the salt is selected form oxoanions and partially hydrogenated oxoanions of phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.

The invention relates to microcapsules having a particle size distribution that has at least two maxima, wherein the main maximum of the particle size lies in the range of 5 to 100 μm and wherein the volume assumed by the microcapsules that have a particle size less than ¼ of the particle size of the main maximum is greater than approximately 20% of the total volume of the microcapsules.

Disclosed are compositions comprising one or more latex polymers selected from acrylate latex, polyurethane latex polymers, and mixtures thereof, a dispersion of particles of at least one silicone latex polymer; and optionally, a solvent. Methods of using the compositions on keratinous substrates such as hair are also disclosed.

The present disclosure is broadly concerned with petrolatum-based compositions as a suspension matrix for the active ingredients. The disclosure is also concerned with processes for forming stable emulsions of active ingredients in petrolatum.

The invention relates to a compound (1) comprising at least 50% by weight of a functional agent, characterized in that it also comprises a waxy matrix (3), within which said functional agent is dispersed, wherein said compound (1) is solid at room temperature and intended to be dispersed by fluidization and/or solubilization within a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition to incorporate therein said functional agent, said functional agent being formed from solid particles (2) having undergone a surface treatment resulting in a reductions in the absorption capacity of the waxy matrix (3) by said treated solid particles (2), as compared to untreated solid particles of the same nature. The invention also relates to a formulation of cosmetic and/or dermatological compositions.

The present invention relates to a personal washing composition comprising a detersive surfactant, at least one rheology modifying polymer, at least one cationic conditioning polymer, at least one benefit agent, and an anionic polymer of polysulfonic acid. The composition is a sulfate-free or substantial sulfate-free personal washing composition. The present invention further relates to a method of achieving improved conditioning benefits and/or improved deposition of benefit agents onto hair and/or skin.

The disclosure describes compositions for dental varnishes, methods of making the compositions, and methods of using the compositions, such as in the treatment and prevention of hypersensitivity in teeth.

Methods, processes, and kits-of-parts for treating hair and scalp and increasing blood circulation of the scalp are provided. The methods and processes include applying aqueous compositions onto hairs and scalps, wherein the aqueous compositions comprise dispersed scrub particles that provide further improvement of blood circulation compared to scalps treated only with cleansing and carbon dioxide comprising compositions.
