A device for applying a cosmetic composition to the lips and a method thereof, the device includes an applicator member with a partially flocked applicator head, a container containing the composition which is in the form of an emulsion of water; a film-forming agent chosen from vinyl polymers comprising at least one carbosiloxane dendrimer-based unit; a non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil; and a non-volatile phenyl silicone oil.

The present disclosure relates to antiperspirant cosmetic agents, in the case of which the total amount of antiperspirant compounds can be clearly reduced without the antiperspirant effect of said agents or the storage stability of said agents being impaired, comprising—in each case with respect to the total weight of the antiperspirant cosmetic agent—a) 1 to 30 wt % of at least one antiperspirant compound, b) 0.1 to 10 wt % of salicylic acid, c) at least one compound of formula (I), in which n represents 0 or 1, X represents —H, Na+, K+, or NH4+, R1 is selected from —H, —COOX, or —(CH2)—COOX, R2 is selected from —H, C1-10 alkyl, or COOX, R3 is selected from —(CH2)—COOX, —(CH2)2-N[(CH2)—COOX]2, —CH(R1)—COOX, —(CH2)2-NH[CH(COOX)(CH2COOX)], —CH(R4)—C(R5)(R6)—COOX, R4 is selected from —H, C1-10 alkyl, or COOX, and R5 and R6 are, independently of each other, —H, —OH, or C1-10 alkyl.

A cosmetic having excellent properties in transparency, spreadability, smoothness, skin compatibility and safety is prepared using a synthetic talc that is flake-like particles containing 2:1-type laminar crystals of silicate which have a basic structure of an octahedron sheet sandwiched between two tetrahedron sheets. The flake-like particle has a mean volume particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm, and 0.3° or less of half width at half maximum of peak present at 2θ equal to 9.4°±1° when measured by unoriented powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) using CuKα rays, and the cosmetic is substantially free of Mg.sub.3Si.sub.2O.sub.5(OH).sub.4.

A thickened aqueous composition containing about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer, about 0.1% to about 20%, of a silicone elastomer; about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight, of a fatty alcohol; and from about 20% to about 98% of water.

The present invention relates to a low-viscosity cosmetic composition and methods using a natural emulsifying agent. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition using a naturally derived saccharide-based surfactant in place of a chemical surfactant and realizing a low-viscosity formulation to offer safety to the skin, feel good on the skin with fast absorption, give stability to the formulation and add luster to the skin in an effective manner.

Dry mixtures and liquid formulations are provided that comprise metal oxide and/or metal hydroxide nanocrystalline particles. The dry mixtures are advantageously formulated with select surfactants to be readily solubilized and stable in liquid carriers. Additional select components are provided in preferred combinations that are capable of achieving improved biocidal and chemical agent efficacy. Notably, the inventive formulations provided herein allow for easier delivery of the formulations and increased shelf stability.
