A skin care composition having from about 0.01% to about 5%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer which is a sodium polyacrylate, sodium polacrylate starch, sodium acrylates crosspolymer-2 or mixtures of these and a portion of the polymer comprises a grafted starch material. The superabsorbent polymer is particulate where the particles have an average particle size in the range of from about 5-30, and the individual particles in their dry or un-swollen condition are substantially non-spherical, flat, platelet, or elongated in shape. The particles have an absorption capacity of at least about 1000 times their initial dry or un-swollen volume. Additionally, the skin care composition contains from about 0.01-10% of a dry powder that is either starch or silicone based and wherein the dry powder is coated with a silicone based material. Further there is provided a UV active.

A container (1) of cosmetic products is described, comprising a support (2), a tank (3), an insert (4) and an application sponge (5). Said insert (4) is provided with a canvas (42) put in contact with a cosmetic product inserted in the tank (3). The cosmetic product comprises a cosmetic formulation combined with superabsorbent polymers.

A liquid foamable composition that has from about 0.5% to about 7%, by weight, of surfactants that are cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. The foamable composition contains from about 1% to about 15%, by weight, of a fatty alcohol, from about 5% to about 30%, by weight, of a skin care active, and water. The skin care active is preferably selected from the group consisting of niacinamide, hexyldecanol, a peptide, panthenol, undeylenoyl phenylalanine, retinyl propionate and mixtures thereof.

Polysaccharide alkali swellable rheology modifiers include an emulsion polymer including at least one polysaccharide portion and at least one synthetic portion wherein the at least one synthetic portion is obtained from at least one anionic ethylenically unsaturated monomer, at least one nonionic ethylenically unsaturated monomer or a combination thereof; wherein at least one of the nonionic ethylenically unsaturated monomers is a hydrophobic ethylenically unsaturated monomer, as well as methods of making polysaccharide alkali swellable rheology modifiers.

Described are rheology modifier compositions comprising cross-linked poly(amino acid) and methods of their use in aqueous compositions.

An composition for treating dentin hypersensitivity including an instantly formed cationic amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) gel, methods for using the composition, and systems for preparing the gel composition.

An objective of the invention is to provide a powdered solid cosmetic that has excellent powder dispersibility and high impact resistance, while also having a texture similar to that in the case in which an elastic spherical powder is blended. The powdered solid cosmetic according to the present invention contains (A) a non-elastic spherical powder having a crushing strength per particle of 30 MPa or higher; (B) 1% to 15% by mass of iron oxide; (C) a gel-type partially crosslinked organopolysiloxane polymer; and (D) a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or lower; wherein the (A) non-elastic spherical powder constitutes 90% by mass or more of all spherical powders contained in the cosmetic.
