Described herein is dosage of foam including from about 5 cm.sup.3 to about 70 cm.sup.3 of the foam. The foam includes from about 0.5 g to about 4 g of a detersive surfactant; from about 0.001 g to about 4 g propellant; a foam density of from about 0.02 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.25 g/cm.sup.3; and a bubble size distribution having an R.sub.32 of from about 5 μm to about 150 μm.

The present disclosure provides porous composite powder which includes biodegradable polymer particles with a porous structure having positive charges dispersed uniformly thereon and further includes inorganic particles. The porous composite powder adsorbs and removes fine particulate matter remaining in the skin and skin pores effectively through ionic bonding, while maintaining a spherical shape. The present disclosure also provides a method for preparing porous composite powder for adsorption of fine dust including particles forming a composite homogeneously, while maintaining a spherical shape, through a single process.

This disclosure provides a spray type cosmetic composition comprising hydroxypropyl starch (HPS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). In more detail, this disclosure provides a spray-type cosmetic composition for makeup fixer, comprising HPS and PVP, which has excellent properties such as makeup maintaining ability, spraying power, and less stickiness at the same time.

An anhydrous shampoo composition includes two surfactants selected from (a) sodium cocoyl isethionate, and (b) at least one of sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate and sodium cocoyl methyl isethionate; and propanediol. The compositions can further include glycerin, gaur and citric acid. The shampoos compositions are capable of foaming when combined with water during use for cleaning and conditioning keratinous fibers.

Compositions and methods are disclosed herein for treating female pattern hair loss with a topical composition used to remove minoxidil from the hairs. A method for diagnosing subjects in need of a topical composition used to remove minoxidil from the hair treatment and guiding the application of a topical composition used to remove minoxidil from the hair treatment are also described. Additionally, a method for diagnosing a subject at high risk for female pattern hair loss who will likely respond to topical composition used to remove minoxidil from the hair prophylactic treatment is described. A method for combining the composition described herein with topical minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia is described. In addition, cosmetic compositions are described as well as methods of improving the appearance of hair following application of minoxidil.

An advantageous deodorizing composition comprising at least one zinc carboxylate salt and aluminium chlorohydrate is provided, as well as a deodorant consumer product comprising the same. Furthermore, a method of suspending aluminium chlorohydrate in an at least essentially anhydrous solvent is provided, as well as a method of preventing clumping of aluminium chlorohydrate in a deodorizing composition or a deodorant consumer product and a method of preventing clogging of a nozzle of a deodorant spray containing a deodorizing composition.

Materials and methods for formulating a baby wash/shampoo are provided herein. For example, this document provides materials and methods for formulating a foaming baby wash/shampoo compositions that contain natural ingredients and are not irritating to babies' skin and eyes.

The invention relates to an aerosol device comprising: a container containing a cosmetic composition which comprises at least one fixing polymer, and a dispensing head (3) comprising a body (5) and an end part (7) comprising at least two outlet orifices (12) configured to allow spraying of the composition about a longitudinal axis (Y) of the end part (7) in at least two different directions, the dispensing head (3) comprising at least first (15) and second (16) chambers, through which the composition stream successively passes before it exits via the outlet orifices (12).

The invention relates to a foam formulation comprising an essentially emulsifier-free emulsion of the oil in water type, comprising an oil phase and a water phase.

A composition for topical application to the skin, comprising at least one humectant, at least one consistency regulator, and at least one emulsifier, wherein the emulsifier includes a fatty acid esterified with a hydroxyl group, wherein the fatty acid has at least one carbon chain of 18 or fewer carbon atoms. The emulsifier can include ethers, polymers, amides, amines, or sulfates.
