Water-in-oil microemulsions containing triglyceride oil for personal care applications are described. The W/O type of microemulsions based on triglyceride oils such as soya oil and sunflower oil are suitable for skin cleansing shower oils. The microemulsions of the patent application allow the use of several mild surfactants, thereby obviating the use of aliphatic amine based anionic surfactants for personal cleansing. The microemulsion based on coconut oil serves like a ‘two-in-one’ formulation for prewash hair conditioning like a typical hair-oil and subsequently like a shampoo for cleansing the hair.

Wetlaid web, selected from the group consisting of wet-laid non-woven fabrics and paper, comprising a cellulosic fibre material in the form of viscose fibre at an amount of at least 5% w/w, characterized in that the wetlaid web comprises microfibrillated cellulose at an amount of 0.5% w/w to 5% w/w, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose has a particle size distribution (x.sub.10) of 5 μm to 30 μm, and a wet-strength agent.

A cosmetic ingredient for cosmetic products has a polymer structure which includes an emollient or film-forming cosmetic polymer which is transparent to light. An organic chromophore molecule is inserted and chemically linked into the polymer, which can be a fixed color molecule or a photochromic molecule capable of rapidly switching from one color to another. The colored or photochromic molecule is inserted and chemically linked by transesterification into a cosmetic oil provided with functionalities which are suitable for the chemical anchoring of the molecule and chemically linked to said oil. The cosmetic oil may be a silicone macrodiol functionalized with a photochromic derivative designed so as to ensure the transition between a colorless state and a colored state following irradiation with ultraviolet light.

The coating formation method of the present invention is a method for forming a coating on a surface of a coating formation target. The formation method of the present invention includes an electrostatic spraying step of electrostatically spraying a composition directly onto the coating formation target, thereby forming a coating composed of a deposit containing fibers. The composition contains a component (a), a component (b), and a component (c) below. (a) One or more volatile substances selected from water, alcohols, and ketones. (b) A polymer having coating formability. (c) A liquid agent containing one or more selected from oils and polyols that are in a liquid form at 20° C.

A discrete dispensed product comprising a first portion; and a second portion at least partially surrounding the first portion provides a premium and distinct appearance to consumers.

A topical sunscreen composition including a lotion having titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, water, avocado oil, sunflower oil, bee's wax, coconut oil, monolaurin, stearyl dimethicone, cetylesters, ethyl linoleate, triethyl citrate, fragrance and Lecithin. In another aspect, there is disclosed a topical sunscreen composition including a lotion having zinc oxide, water, avocado oil, zeolite, bee's wax, coconut oil, monolaurin, ethyl linoleate, bentonite, tri ethyl citrate, fragrance and Lecithin.

The invention describes a cosmetic article, in particular for make-up, in stick form comprising a transparent external product and a liquid internal product in which solid decorative elements are dispersed. The cosmetic article features an attractive, original appearance, which can be appreciated from both an aesthetic and a functional point of view upon application thereof to skin.

A clear personal cleansing composition having an anionic surfactant, a cationic deposition polymer, an aqueous carrier and a level of inorganic salt of from about 0 to about 1 wt %. The composition is substantially free of sulfates and has a % T of greater than about 80%. The composition can further comprise amphoteric surfactants. The composition remains phase stable and minimizes coacervate formulation until after dilution with water.

The invention relates to transparent, stable, film-forming oil-in-water microemulsions, and the use of the microemulsions in leave-on products or wash-off products of hair care application. The microemulsions contain an aminoalkyl-functional organopolysiloxane, a silicone resin, optionally a low viscosity oil, and a surfactant composition, are storage stable, and form coherent crosslinked films upon drying.

The invention provides a liquid cosmetic that contains capsule in an aqueous medium, wherein the capsule comprises agar shell encapsulating an oil component, and the aqueous medium comprises a low molecular polyol and one selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylic polymer and a polysaccharide.
