Methods and compositions for delivering medicine and other substances to the brain and the body via the cribriform plate using foamable compositions are described. Methods and compositions for improving nasal hygiene and moisturizing the nasal cavity using foamable compositions are also described.

Methods and systems are disclosed for removing a tattoo from a subject's skin by application of a cold plasma that is delivered via a liquid-gas mixture. The plasma can be delivered in the form of gas bubbles, in which at least a portion of gas is in the form of a plasma.

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.

A subject of the present invention is a composition comprising: a) at least one sebum-absorbing powder with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or at least one styling powder; b) at least one aluminium salt other than the sebum-absorbing powders with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or than the styling powders; c) optionally a propellant. A subject of the present invention is also to a process for the thy-washing and cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising a step of applying the composition to the hair.

Cosmetic products and methods for the care of keratin-containing fibers using the cosmetic products are provided herein. In an embodiment, a cosmetic product includes a) a cosmetic preparation and b) a device for the flash evaporation of the cosmetic preparation a). The a cosmetic preparation a) includes, based on its total weight, a1) from about 70 to about 99% by weight of a polar solvent and a2) at least about 0.1% by weight of care components.

The disclosure relates to a cosmetic product, comprising a) a cosmetic preparation, containing, in relation to its total weight, a1) about 45 to about 95 wt. % of at least one polar solvent; a2) about 0.1 to about 25 wt. % of at least one solid material; b) a device for flash evaporation of the cosmetic preparation a), and to a method using corresponding products and to the use of the cosmetic preparation a) as process material in a device for flash evaporation.

A viscous composition of the present invention comprises specific cellulose fibers (A), (A′) and (A″) and the specific cellulose fibers (A), (A′) and (A″) are used with appropriate selection according to uses of a cosmetic composition, a gel-like composition and a spray composition. Therefore, in case where the composition is used as the cosmetic composition, a cosmetic composition which is excellent in shape retention ability and dispersion stability and excellent in water tolerance to satisfy the properties and the performance which is necessary for cosmetics is obtained. Additionally, in case where the composition is used as a gel-like composition, gel-state can be kept without separation or water release. Furthermore, in case where the composition is used as a spray composition, since it is possible to time-dependently keep stable gel state even if functional additives such as electrolytes, ionic substances, etc. are contained, it is possible to mix various functional additives which is necessary for the use without any problem.

The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an anhydrous antiperspirant composition comprising an inorganic polyionic cluster having structure of (I) or (II); where M is Ca or Mg; and wherein the composition is substantially free of abrasives, which means less than 3.0% by weight of the composition; wherein anhydrous means the water content of the composition is less than 3.0%.

The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising from about 14% to about 40% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.1% to about 10% of one or more surfactant soluble agents having a C log P greater than 3.0; wherein when the personal care composition is diluted to about 1.5% surfactant concentration has a ratio of surfactant diffusion coefficient to soluble agent diffusion coefficient greater than 1.2.

A method of treating the hair including providing a concentrated hair care composition in a foam dispenser. The concentrated hair care composition includes one or more silicones, perfume, and less than 6% high melting point fatty compounds. The method also includes dispensing the concentrated hair care composition from the foam dispenser as a dosage of foam; applying the foam to the hair; and rinsing the foam from the hair. The foam has a density of from about 0.025 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.40 g/cm.sup.3 when dispensed from the foam dispenser. The one or more silicones form a silicone layer that has a normalized thickness of deposition of from about 0.001 nm/ppm to about 0.019 nm/ppm.
