The invention relates to an emulsifier-free, skin conditioning cosmetic or dermatological preparation which contains active ingredients.

A topical therapeutic hydrophobic breakable composition includes a carrier comprising (a) about 60% to about 99% by weight of at least one hydrophobic oil; (b) at least one viscosity-modifying agents selected from the group consisting of a fatty alcohol, a fatty acid and a wax; and (c) a tetracycline antibiotic, characterized in that at least part of the tetracycline antibiotic is suspended in the composition; the viscosity of the composition is at least about 30% higher than the viscosity of the carrier without the tetracycline antibiotic; and is higher than the viscosity of the hydrophobic oil and the tetracycline antibiotic without the viscosity modifying agents. The tetracycline is chemically stable in the composition for at least six months; wherein more than about 90% of the tetracycline has not broken down. The composition is packaged as a breakable foam that breaks easily upon application of shear force.

The present invention relates to an emulsifier-free and surfactant-free cosmetic product having a pressure container with a release valve containing at least 8% by weight of one or more waxes and polyacrylic acid polymers. The pressure container further contains at least one propellant that foams and/or discharges the preparation.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water-type emulsion composition having an excellent sensation, particularly an excellent fresh sensation, upon use. An oil-in-water-type emulsion composition including oily phases and an aqueous phase having the oily phases dispersed therein, said emulsion composition being characterized in that a dispersant for dispersing the oily phases in the aqueous phase comprises: a core-corona-type microgel composed of hydrophobic gel microparticles and hydrophilic groups provided on parts of the surfaces of the hydrophobic gel microparticles; and an aqueous phase containing an agar microgel having an average particle diameter of 10 to 100 m.

The invention relates to an anhydrous cosmetic or dermatological formulation comprising a viscose lipid-containing preparation and propellant gas consisting essentially of one or more substances selected from hydrofluorocarbons, n-butane, isobutane and propane. The formulation permits application to the skin by spraying of an otherwise nonsprayable preparation. The formulation is free from readily volatile solvents, surfactants, and preferably free from silicones.

The present invention relates to rinse-off cleansing compositions comprising a surfactant system, in which the surfactant system comprises an alkyl polyglycoside and an acyl glutamate present in specific amounts, for providing compositions that are not only mild on the skin and/or eyes that are stable especially under acidic pH conditions, but also have simpler formulations which have fewer ingredients, good rinse-off property, and preferably more cost effective.

A skin care composition comprising: (i) a medium having a mixture of two or more immiscible phases; (ii) 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. % of a terpolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone/acrylic acid/lauryl methacrylate having a relative viscosity of at least 3.3 cps; and (iii) 0.1 wt. % to 20 wt. % of at least one cosmetically/dermatologically acceptable skin care additive; wherein the skin care composition is free from surfactant(s), also discloses skin care composition comprising surfactants. Other embodiments of this application disclose specific sunscreen compositions with/without surfactant systems and methods for providing an enhanced care to skin of humans or animals employing such compositions.

A topical therapeutic hydrophobic breakable composition includes a carrier comprising (a) about 60% to about 99% by weight of at least one hydrophobic oil; (b) at least one viscosity-modifying agents selected from the group consisting of a fatty alcohol, a fatty acid and a wax; and (c) a tetracycline antibiotic, characterized in that at least part of the tetracycline antibiotic is suspended in the composition; the viscosity of the composition is at least about 30% higher than the viscosity of the carrier without the tetracycline antibiotic; and is higher than the viscosity of the hydrophobic oil and the tetracycline antibiotic without the viscosity modifying agents. The tetracycline is chemically stable in the composition for at least six months; wherein more than about 90% of the tetracycline has not broken down. The composition is packaged as a breakable foam that breaks easily upon application of shear force.

The present invention has as its object the provision of an aerosol composition for hair which has excellent deodorization effect and silky feeling and in which a powder hardly floats at an applied area, and an aerosol product for hair.

An aerosol composition for hair of the present invention is characterized by comprising: 2 to 7% by mass of an oil absorbing powder having an oil absorption of 0.45 to 0.75 ml/g; 0.1 to 0.6% by mass of a polyol; 3 to 33% by mass of a lower alcohol; and 65 to 94% by mass of a hydrocarbon having 3 to 5 carbon atoms which has a vapor pressure of 0.05 to 0.35 MPa at a temperature of 20 C.; and containing no surfactant. An aerosol product for hair of the present invention is characterized by comprising the aerosol composition for hair filled in an aerosol container which is a pressure-resistant container having an aerosol valve, and in that the discharge amount is 0.3 to 1.2 g/second.

[Problem] An object of the invention is to provide a conditioning agent and a conditioning composition which are excellent in adsorptivity to fibers, hair, skin, etc. and impart smoothness thereto. [Solving means] A conditioning agent comprising an amide alcohol represented by formula (I).
