wherein R.sup.1 is an acyl radical of a fatty acid with a chain length of from 6 to 24 carbon atoms, with the proviso that a mass fraction of saturated, linear fatty acids with a chain length of from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, is more than 50% by weight, based on all acyl radicals R.sup.1, wherein R.sup.2 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, wherein a=1-3 and b=1-3, with the proviso that a+b=4, B) at least one consistency regulator, and C) at least one cosmetic oil.

A cosmetic product includes an O/W emulsion of a crosslinked silicone obtained from radical polymerization under emulsion polymerization reaction condition of at least one polyorganosiloxane having at least two aliphatic unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, and optionally an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, in the presence of a polyether-modified polysiloxane. It is used in a making-up method.

Disclosed are a composition containing a transition metal, as well as a method of treatment of bacterial, or of fungal diseases using such composition. The composition functions as novel bactericides and antifungal agents. The transition metal may be in either soluble or insoluble form.

The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising D-panthenol, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) and hydroxyacetophenone (HAP) in specific weight ratios which show less staining.

Hair treatment compositions and methods of using them to treat hair are described. The hair treatment compositions include: (a) citric acid, one or more salts of citric acid, or a combination thereof; or a combination of citric acid and one or more salts of citric acid, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid to salts of citric acid added to form the combination is from 1:10 to 10:1; (b) one or more surfactants; and (c) water; wherein the pH of the composition is from about 3 to about 10; and weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition. The hair treatment compositions are particularly useful for strengthening hair fibers.

The present disclosure relates to a nanoemulsion composition for tooth whitening and method for preparing the same, and the present disclosure provides a composition for tooth whitening and method for preparing the same, including a water phase part containing water; and an oil phase part dispersed in the water phase part and made of nanoparticle containing a perfluorocarbon compound, wherein the oil phase part includes oxygen gas. According to the present disclosure, there is an advantage of replacing peroxide and at the same time exhibit excellent tooth whitening effect.

The present disclosure relates to a nanoemulsion composition of oxygen gas sustained release and method for preparing the same, and provides a nanoemulsion composition of oxygen gas sustained release and method for preparing the same, including a water phase part containing water, and an oil phase part dispersed in the water phase part and made of nanoparticle containing a perfluorocarbon compound, wherein the oil phase part contains oxygen gas, and the oxygen gas is released in sustained release. According to the present disclosure, there are advantages of preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth by increasing the amount of oxygen gas supplied to the hair bulb and the oxygen release time from the hair bulb.

This invention relates to a composition, preferably a demake-up cosmetic composition, comprising: an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, at least one homopolymer of non-superabsorbent acrylic acid that is at least partially neutralized, at least one cross-linked copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid and of C1-C6 alkyl acrylate, at least one polysaccharide gelling agent comprising at least one glucose monomer, and said composition having a pH greater than or equal to 5.5. It also relates to the use of such a composition for the demake-up of keratin materials.
