A topical probiotic delivery system comprised of (a) at least one quiescent desiccated probiotic, (b) at least one wax, and (c) at least one polymer having a plurality of ionic or ionizable pendant groups. The delivery system is preferably substantially anhydrous and substantially free of preservatives

A purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic having a fresh feeling in use like that of a skin-care cosmetic such as a milky lotion, while also allowing titanium oxide or zinc oxide, which are ultraviolet scattering agents, to be stably blended into the oil phase, and also providing excellent sunscreen effects. The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic characterized by comprising (A) an ultraviolet scattering agent having a hydrophobic surface; (B) a water-soluble alkyl-substituted polysaccharide derivative; (C) a higher alcohol; and (D) a non-ionic surfactant. The emulsion cosmetic of the present invention preferably has a viscosity, measured by a B-type viscometer at 30° C., of 12,000 mPa.Math.s or lower.

An oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic containing (A) to (E) as essential components and having a pH of 6 or less: (A) an L-ascorbyl tetra fatty acid ester derivative represented by the following general formula (I) Formula 1 ##STR00001## wherein R represents a branched alkyl fatty acid residue having 8 to 18 carbons; (B) a polar oil which is liquid at 25° C. and having an IOB value of 0.1 to 0.5; (C) a chelating agent; (D) an antioxidant; and (E) water.

A method for treating a person's skin is disclosed. The method includes topically applying to the skin a composition comprising from 0.001% to 20% by weight of an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic extract from a plant extract.

An emulsion composition includes water, an oily component, gum ghatti and a modified starch. The content of the gum ghatti is 32% by mass or less and the content of the modified starch is 500 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the gum ghatti. The emulsion composition has excellent emulsion stability.

The present invention relates to the field of liquid solubilising systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a macroemulsion comprising a hydrophobic active substance, which enhances the transfer of said hydrophobic active substance to a subject or object. A method for producing the macroemulsion, and the use of said macroemulsion to provide a sensory effect or other benefits, are likewise provided. The present invention also pertains to the use of the macroemulsion for preparing consumer products. Consumer products comprising or consisting of said macroemulsion, such as foods, cosmetics, personal care products, in particular skin cleaning products, shampoos, rinse-off conditioners, deodorants, antiperspirants, body lotions, homecare products, in particular liquid detergents, all-purpose cleaners, laundry and cleaning agents, fabric softeners, laundry scent, laundry scent boosters, pharmaceuticals and pet foods, in particular laundry and cleaning agents, also form part of the present invention. The present invention especially pertains to laundry scent or laundry scent booster products which impart laundry an intensive fragrance effect.

The present invention relates to a topical preparation comprising a UV filter combination of certain microfine zinc oxide, 2,4-bis{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl Triazine), 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid and/or one or more salts thereof and 2,4,6-tris[anilino(p-carbo-2′-ethyl-1′-hexyloxy)]-1,3,5-triazine (INCI: Ethylhexyl Triazone).

Disclosed herein is a sunscreen composition(s) comprising (i) at least one sunscreen active ingredient(s); (ii) at least one copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and styrene; and (iii) at least one pharmaceutically or cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable excipient. Also disclosed is a method of protecting human skin and animal skin against damages caused by ultra-violet (UV) radiations from the sun rays.
