Described herein is a composition of matter comprising i) at least one compound of formula (I) ##STR00001## in the form of any of its stereoisomers; and wherein R.sup.1 represents a phenyl group optionally substituted by one or two C.sub.1-3 alkyl or alkoxy groups or by one or two halides group; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent, independently from each other a heterocyclic group comprising from 1 to 3 heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, optionally substituted by one or two C.sub.1-3 alkyl groups; and ii) at least a C.sub.1-6 linear or branched alkyl lactate. Also described herein is a method of using the composition of matter as part of a flavoring or perfuming composition or of a flavoring or perfuming consumer product. Also described herein is a process to prepare the composition of matter and the polymorph of compound of formula (I).

Provided are azeotrope-like compositions consisting essentially of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and uses thereof, including use in refrigerant compositions, refrigeration systems, blowing agent compositions, and aerosol propellants.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic in which the ultraviolet protection effects are increased by heat, and a method for manufacture thereof. The manufacturing method of the present invention includes

(1) a step of preparing a sample composition containing (A) an ultraviolet protectant and (B) one or more humectants that have an IOB of 5.0 or lower and that are selected from among alkylene oxide derivatives and polyhydric alcohols; and

(2) a step of selecting a sample composition in which ultraviolet protection effects are increased after heat treatment in comparison to before heat treatment, in accordance with an evaluation method including the following steps (i) to (iv): (i) a step of forming a coating film of the sample composition on a substrate, (ii) a step of heat-treating the coating film of the sample composition, (iii) a step of measuring ultraviolet protection effects of the coating film of the sample composition that has not been heat-treated and of the coating film of the sample composition that has been heat-treated, and (iv) a step of comparing the measured ultraviolet protection effects.

The absorbent article comprises at least a topsheet layer and a backsheet layer, each layer having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface, and longitudinal and transversal edges, the article having a longitudinal front portion, a longitudinal back portion and a crotch portion located between the front and the back portion. The article comprises a first and a second zone of microencapsulated phase change material on a surface of a layer of the article. The first and second zones are selected form zones having different microencapsulated phase change materials, different concentrations of a microencapsulated phase change material or comprise microencapsulated phase change material having different phase change temperature intervals.

A method in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention includes increasing a concentration of a modified or unmodified saccharide within a subject's skin, applying an applicator to the subject's skin, and cooling the subject's skin via a heat-transfer surface of the applicator. The saccharide within the subject's skin can enhance a resistance of at least some cells within the subject's skin to damage associated with the cooling. A corresponding system includes the applicator, the saccharide, and an energy-delivery device. The energy-delivery device can be configured to apply ultrasound, optical, thermal, or another type of energy to the subject's skin to drive the saccharide into the subject's skin. The system can also include a penetration enhancer configured to enhance penetration of the saccharide into the subject's skin. The penetration enhancer can be applied with the saccharide or separately.
