A non-antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed comprising from about 10.0 wt. % to less than about 40 wt. % of one or more C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alcohols; about 0.5 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one primary surfactant; 0 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one secondary surfactant, with the primary and secondary surfactants having an HLB value greater than 8; a pH adjusting agent; and water. The composition does not achieve a microbial kill level greater than 2.0 log.

A hair conditioner composition comprising arginine, a fatty acid having a C16 to C22 alkyl chain, and an aqueous carrier, all of which form a gel structure, and wherein the composition is free of a fatty alcohol.

A cosmetic skin-enhancing moisturizing peel cream composition includes at least one hydroxy acid, including alpha-hydroxy acid, present in an amount that is at least 5.5% by weight of the composition, at least one lightweight emollient selected from polar emollients and liquid alkanes, a blend of surfactants including one or all of cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, glyceryl stearate and PEG-100 stearate, at least one thickening polymer present in an amount that is at least 3% by weight, and water and a water based solvent present from about 40% to about 75% by weight. The moisturizing peel cream composition is an oil in water emulsion provided in a creamy leave on form that is free or essentially free from silicones comprising a lamellar liquid crystal structure and has a pH of about 3.5 to about 4.1, provided for leave-on application to skin according to a daily treatment regimen of at least one day to up to twenty eight (28) days or more.

A water dispersable film-forming composition is disclosed. The composition comprises pullulan, sugar alcohol, and amino acid. The composition forms a moisturizing and transparent film. The composition provides an excellent rolling feeling when the contents are initially applied, thereby facilitating skin massage. Also, after rapid absorption of the composition into the skin, the viscosity increases again and absorption takes place, providing a feeling of a lot of nutrients and flexible film.

Described herein are antiperspirant and deodorant compositions which are advantageously free of silicone. Particular embodiments concern silicone-free compositions comprising at least one emollient, at least one structuring agent, and at least one natural or synthetic wax, wherein the at least one emollient comprises isoamyl laurate. Embodiments also concern silicone-free antiperspirant and deodorant compositions comprising a plurality of emollients, the plurality of emollients comprising isoamyl laurate. Also described are methods for making these compositions and others. Also described are uses of the silicone-free compositions for manufacturing antiperspirant sticks or antiperspirant creams, and/or for controlling malodors and transpiration.

The present invention relates to a disinfectant foam based on alcohol for disinfecting the skin. The disinfection foam according to the invention avoids the disturbance of the skin barrier that is usual with alcohol-based disinfectants and does not require silicone surfactants or polyfluorinated chemicals.

The invention relates to pigment dispersions for finished cosmetic and personal care compositions, the pigment dispersions comprising pigment dispersed in certain citronellol-based polyether polymers and their derivatives, and methods of making and using the same.

A stable high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) and compositions including the same. In particular, a high internal phase emulsion including at least 74% by volume of an aqueous internal phase, and an oily external phase, wherein the emulsion is stabilized by stabilizing system including at least: (a) lecithin, (b) a sodium acrylate copolymer, and (c) a polyglyceryl fatty acid ester, preferably polyglyceryl polyricinoleate, wherein the stabilizing system represents at least 3.2% by weight of the emulsion.

The invention provides a method for treating cancer using a coadministration strategy that combines local codelivery of a therapeutic agent and an intracellular penetration enhancing agent, and optionally in further combination with local administration of an immunotherapeutic agent, such as a cancer vaccine or NKT agonist. The invention also provides a method for treating cancer using an intracellular penetration enhancing agent. The methods of the invention aim to substantially kill and/or destroy the target tumor cells, as well as those cancerous cells that have metastasized to other parts of the body.

A hair conditioner composition comprising: (a) a L-basal lamellar gel network; (b) from about 0.01 wt % to about 5 wt % of a dicarboxylic acid amine salt; (c) from about 0.01 wt % to about 5 wt % of a diester; (d) from about 0.01 wt % to about 5 wt % of a glycerin ester copolymer.
