Provided are a composition for preventing hair loss and stimulating hair growth, which includes small-sized stem cells, particularly, small-sized stem cells having a diameter of 8 μm or less, or a culture thereof as an active ingredient, a method of preparing the same, and a use of the same. Provided is a use of the composition utilizing a hair growth stimulating function of the small-sized stem cells having a diameter of 8 μm or less to considerably increase activity of hair follicle stem cells in a telogen phase.

The invention relates to small expanded polymer powder particles, and uses thereof. The expanded powder particles are formed by a non-melt process, resulting in individual expanded particles in the 5 to 100 micron range. The expanded powder particles are especially useful in cosmetic applications, as they provide a softer feel than a powder, and have a much higher surface area, making them highly absorbent for removing liquids and oils, as well as for use as excellent carriers and release agents for active ingredients.

Benefit agent containing delivery particles that can be supplied as slurries, compositions comprising such particles, and processes for making and using such particles and compositions.

The present invention relates to the use of a mineral blend as cosmetic agent for a wet cosmetic composition, wherein the mineral blend comprises a first component being selected from natural ground calcium carbonate and/or precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, as well as to a wet cosmetic composition comprising said mineral blend.

A fragrance-containing microparticle of water-insoluble polymeric material, the polymer having a glass transition temperature of from 0° C. to 50° C. and a zeta potential lying within the ranges −40 mV to −5 mV and +5 mV to +45 mV. The microparticles have enhanced substantivity to hair, resulting in a longer-lasting fragrance.

For coloring foods, nutritional supplements, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products, the invention provides a dye, which contains at least one pigment in the form of a water-insoluble sulfate, carbonate, or phosphate of at least one alkaline earth metal, which is selected from the group consisting of calcium sulfate, magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium carbonate.

Described herein are hybrid microcapsules with a hydrophobic material-based core, such as a perfume, and a polymeric shell including chitosan particles. Processes for preparing such microcapsules are also described, as are perfuming compositions and consumer products including the capsules, in particular, perfumed consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products.

The disclosure discloses a liquid foundation using starch as a filler and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical fields of deep processing of starch and preparation of cosmetics. In the disclosure, starch is modified by an OSA reagent and then homogenized and micronized to obtain a starch filler; powder materials and the water phase in the formula of the liquid foundation are sequentially added to the oil phase at a certain temperature; the mixture is sheared at low speed, homogenized, and cooled to room temperature; and the starch filler is added to prepare the liquid foundation using starch as a filler, wherein the formula includes 10-20 parts of oil phase, 65-75 parts of water phase, 5-10 parts of toner, and 5-15 parts of starch filler. The starch filler in the disclosure is hypoallergenic, environmental and safe, and the liquid foundation containing the starch filler is refreshing and not easy to clog pores, solves the problems of traditional fillers which are thick and greasy, unbreathable, easy to aggravate facial acne, and the like, and is in line with the current propensity to consume of consumers for green and safe beauty products.

This disclosure provides an encapsulated cleansing composition that is free of talc and that includes a core particle including (1) tapioca starch, (2) potato starch, (3) at least one anionic surfactant, and (4) at least one amphoteric surfactant. The encapsulated cleaning composition also includes a coating disposed about at least a portion of the core particle and includes a polysaccharide.
