An aerosol cosmetic exhibits an improved feeling of use while having high UV blocking properties. An aerosol cosmetic is filled up as a bulk solution together with a propellant in a pressure-resistant container and includes ethyl alcohol that is a main dispersion medium, an organic ultraviolet absorber, and an ester oil. The organic ultraviolet absorber includes an organic ultraviolet absorber that is solid at room temperature. The solid organic ultraviolet absorber is dissolved in the ester oil.

Cosmetic emulsions are disclosed that can remain stable even with relatively high salt based cosmetic astringent content. In one aspect, an emulsion can include a water phase including water and a rheology modifier including Microcrystalline Cellulose and Cellulose Gum. The emulsion can also include an oil phase comprising Steareth-2 and Glyceryl Stearate and an emulsifier selected from the group consisting of: Steareth-20, Steareth-21, and combinations thereof. The emulsion can include a salt based cosmetic astringent providing at least about 1.0% of the emulsion by weight.

An object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol product for forming a warming cream composition which is capable of achieving excellent dispersion stability of hydration exothermic substance powder and of easily forming a warming cream composition having a sufficient warming effect. The aerosol product of the present invention includes a double structure container provided with a discharging mechanism for simultaneously discharging contents filled in the two liquid concentrate filling spaces. The propellant filling space is filled with a propellant composed of compressed gas. The first liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a composition, which includes hydration exothermic substance powder dispersed in a liquid medium containing a polyhydric alcohol and a higher alcohol and having a viscosity (at 20° C.) of 1000 to 10000 mPa.Math.s, containing 10 to 40% by mass of the hydration exothermic substance powder, and 0.05 to 20% by mass of the higher alcohol, and having a viscosity (at 20° C.) of 1000 to 125000 mPa.Math.s. The second liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a composition containing water and 0.1 to 10% by mass of a viscosity modifier.

An aerosol hair cleansing agent comprising a hair cleansing agent stock solution containing a surfactant (A) containing an anionic surfactant (A1) and two or more nonionic polymers (B) having weight average molecular weights different from each other, and a propellant (C) containing carbon dioxide. The component (B) contains a nonionic polymer (B1) having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 or more and 5,000,000 or less and contains a nonionic polymer (B2) having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 or more and 200,000 or less.

Agents for cosmetically treating keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair, contain in a cosmetically acceptable carrier (i) at least one ester of formula (I), where R.sup.1 stands for a linear or branched (C.sub.2-C.sub.30) alkyl group, a linear or branched (C.sub.8-C.sub.30) alkenyl group, a (C.sub.2-C.sub.30) alkylpoly(oxyethylene) group, an optionally substituted aryl group, an optionally substituted aryl(C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkyl group or a (C.sub.2-C.sub.6) hydroxyalkyl group, and R.sup.2 stands for an optionally substituted aryl group, a linear or branched (C.sub.8-C.sub.30) alkyl group, a linear or branched (C.sub.8-C.sub.30) alkenyl group, an optionally substituted aryl (C.sub.1-C.sub.4) alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl (C.sub.2-C.sub.4) alkenyl group or a (C.sub.2-6) hydroxyalkyl group, and (ii) at least one oil selected from at least one compound of the group comprising silicones and paraffin oil, which are particularly suited in the form of a spray mist for giving shine to keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair.

Provided is a cleaner composition which causes no malfunction due to clogging even when contained in a pump foamer container, or the like, and repeatedly used, and is excellent in resilience and persistence of foam, and feeling after washing off. The cleaner composition includes a soap that is obtained by neutralizing a higher fatty acid with sodium N-methyltaurate, and a polymer including dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride as a monomer unit and having a molecular weight of 200000 or less.

The present invention teaches a foamable pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions comprising an aprotic polar solvent; foam compositions and uses thereof.

The invention relates to a hair treatment process comprising the application to the hair of a composition comprising at least one fatty substance using an aerosol device comprising:—a container containing the composition and one or more propellants, it being possible for the propellant(s) to be present in the composition or, in the container, separate from the composition,—a means for dispensing said composition comprising:—a body (3) that is open at its two opposite axial ends,—an engaging part (10) that is open at its two opposite axial ends, at least partially defining a dispensing orifice (12).
