The subject of the present invention is a cosmetic composition of oil-in-water type comprising: (1) hydrophobic silica aerogel particles having a specific surface area per unit of mass (S.sub.M) ranging from 500 to 1500 m.sup.2/g and a size, expressed as volume-average diameter (D[0.5]), ranging from 1 to 1500 μm ; (2) at least one gemini surfactant of formula (I): ##STR00001##
in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 denote, independently of one another, an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 25 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 denotes a spacer consisting of a linear or branched alkylene chain containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; X and Y denote, independently of one another, a —(C.sub.2H.sub.4O).sub.a—(C.sub.3H.sub.6O).sub.bZ group; n ranges from 1 to 10 ; and (3) at least one fatty phase comprising at least one fatty substance chosen from solid fatty substances and pasty fatty substances. The composition in accordance with the invention makes it possible to make good the lack of cutaneous lipids in dehydrated skin, and to provide comfort and persistent nutrition, while at the same time having sensory properties, for example a non-greasy and non-tacky effect and a matt skin appearance, and also good skin penetration properties, even with a high level of solid fatty substance.

Methods and compositions for reducing, (e.g., controlling, inhibiting, preventing, protecting against, or minimizing) staining, (e.g., resulting from stains and/or discoloration) of teeth in the oral cavity are provided. Aspects of the compositions include a component or components (e.g., a wax and an oil) capable of reducing staining of the teeth. In some instances, the compositions further include an agent which enhances the mineralization of teeth.

An anhydrous personal care composition, comprising: (a) 45 to 60 weight % of at least one ester, selected from (i) triglycerides, (ii) diglycerides, (iii) monoglycerides, (iv) monoesters of diols, and (v) diesters of diols; (b) a first wax having a melting point of from 35° C. to 72° C. present in an amount of 5 to 25 weight %; (c) a second wax having a melting point of 73 to 90C present in an amount of 1 to 10 weight %; and (d) at least one plant oil having a saponification value of from 150 to 275 mg KOH/g present in an amount of 5 to 35 weight.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing an anti-wrinkle functional cosmetic substance comprising cutting herbal materials comprising angelica gigas root, rehmannia glutinosa root, a paeonia albiflora root, mentha arvensis, angelica dahurica root, scrophularia buergeriana, rheum undulatum root/stalk/stem, sanguisorba officinalis root, and cinnamomum cassia bark into pieces, putting a mixture of the herbal material pieces, talc, a pearl powder, deep ocean water into an extractor, sterilizing the mixture, then fermenting the mixture by mixed lactobacillales strain, and then hot-water extracting the mixture into a solid, freeze-drying the extracted solid into a freeze-dried powder, and dissolving and high-speed mixing the freeze-dried powder, adenosine, and borax in a beeswax, a perilla oil, an olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, and a helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil heated and chamaecyparis obtusa water heated.

Disclosed are low wax mascara compositons comprising a liquid fatty substance, an emulsifying system including a sucrose fatty acid ester and a co-emulsifier, a viscosity increasing agent, a film forming system including a film forming polymer and a co-film former, and water. Also disclosed are methods for making up and/or enhancing the appearance of eyelashes by applying said compositions to the lashes.

The present invention is directed towards a composition, especially a cosmetic composition, in particular for coating keratin fibres such as the eyelashes, comprising: —at least one aqueous phase gelled with at least one synthetic polymeric hydrophilic gelling agent; and —at least one oily phase gelled with at least one lipophilic gelling agent chosen from meltable compounds, said oily phase also comprising at least one volatile oil; said phases forming therein a macroscopically homogeneous mixture, said composition comprising less than 10% by weight of non-volatile oil(s), relative to the total weight of the composition, said composition comprising from 10% to 70% by weight of volatile oil(s), relative to the total weight of the composition, said composition comprising a water content at least equal to 15% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

Methods, formulations and production systems are provided. Methods comprise extracting black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) oil by processing BSFL, modifying the BSFL oil into modified BSFL (MBSFL) oil by converting triglycerides in the BSFL oil to medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in the form of monoglycerides, fatty acid salts and/or free fatty acids, e.g., by saponification and/or hydrolysis, and applying the MBSFL oil to suppress biofilm development and/or microorganism growth (e.g., of Gram-positive and/or Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and possibly viruses). Applications of the MBSFL oil include dermal and/or oral applications, topical therapy, as well as applications to medical equipment and industrial applications.
