Disclosed are personal care formulations, personal care methods and personal care devices that comprise or use a gel, lotion, cream or the like comprising (a) one or more active ingredients for providing a beneficial effect to the skin and/or hair and/or mucous membranes of a human and (b) from about 1 percent by weight to about 50 percent by weight of foam forming component(s) comprising trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E).

Disclosed are personal care formulations, personal care methods and personal care devices that comprise or use a gel, lotion, cream or the like comprising (a) one or more active ingredients for providing a beneficial effect to the skin and/or hair and/or mucous membranes of a human and (b) from about 1 percent by weight to about 50 percent by weight of foam forming component(s) comprising trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E).

The present invention relates to compositions of spherical microparticles composed of a wall material and at least one cavity that comprises a gas and/or a liquid, which have pores on the surface thereof, wherein the spherical microparticles have a mean particle diameter of 10-600 μm and wherein at least 80% of those microparticles, the particle diameter of which does not deviate from the mean particle diameter of the microparticles of the composition by more than 20%, each have on average at least 10 pores, the diameter of which is in the range from 1/5000 to ⅕ of the mean particle diameter, and, furthermore, the diameter of each of these pores is at least 20 nm, wherein the wall material consists of a composition comprising at least one aliphatic-aromatic polyester, and the wall material has a solubility at 25° C. of at least 50 g/l in dichloromethane, a method for the preparation thereof and also the use thereof.

The present disclosure relates to delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for releasing an active ingredient including a step of contacting a powdered composition with a medium having a pH≤7. The powdered composition includes granules made of a water soluble polymer matrix, an oil phase dispersed in said matrix and carbonate particles. Consumer products such as an antiperspirant or deodorant composition or a powder soft drink beverage composition including the powdered composition are also object of the present disclosure.

A cleaning wipe having a nonwoven substrate impregnated with a dispersal composition including at least one of a polar solvent and a water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed. The dispersal composition provides an enhancement to the dispersion of the nonwoven substrate including a binder when placed within a waste water stream after use, thereby more effectively disposing of the wipe after use.

The present disclosure discloses a composition for skin anti-inflammation and skin moisturizing, which contains an Artemisia extract extracted using a skin cosmetic solution as an extraction solvent as an active ingredient. Specifically, the composition according to the present disclosure, which contains the Artemisia extract obtained using an effective and safe extraction solvent, may exhibit superior skin safety and usability as well as superior anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects. In addition, the composition according to the present disclosure, which contains the Artemisia extract extracted using the skin cosmetic solution that can be used as a cosmetic ingredient as an extraction solvent, may superbly maintain Artemisia flavor without an additional flavoring agent.

The present invention relates to the use of a methacrylate or acrylate modified polysaccharide; or a single-chain polysaccharide methacrylate or acrylate-based nanoparticle, having a surface tension measured by Du Noüy Ring method equal to or lower than 63 mN/m, as oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer; and an oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer composition, and an oil-in-water emulsion containing them. It also relates to processes for their preparation, and their uses.

A cleaning wipe having a nonwoven substrate impregnated with a dispersal composition including at least one of a polar solvent and a water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed. The dispersal composition provides an enhancement to the dispersion of the nonwoven substrate including a binder when placed within a waste water stream after use, thereby more effectively disposing of the wipe after use.

The present invention is in the field of emulsifiers and provides novel emulsifier mixtures for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations or in detergents. The emulsifier mixtures according to the invention comprise a citrate ester mixture and at least one 1,2-alkanediol, 1,3-alkanediol, 1,4-alkanediol and/or 1,5-alkanediol and are characterized by increased stability and low precipitation over a wide temperature range and during a long storage period.

Disclosed herein are nanoemulsions, the nanoemulsions comprising biologically active ingredients. Further disclosed are processes for preparing the nanoemulsions and methods of their use.
