The present invention relates to novel cosmetic emulsions, comprising 1,2-decanediol, advantageous uses thereof and methods for their production.

Antiperspirant and/or deodorant compositions and methods for the same are provided. The compositions may include an antiperspirant active or a deodorant active, water, and a preservative system. The antiperspirant active may include aluminum, and the preservative system may include a biodegradable amino carboxylate. The methods may include substituting or replacing a conventional chelant, such as EDTA, with a biodegradable chelant, such as HIDS. The methods may also include applying one of the compositions to an axillary area of a person.

A method for producing a coating on skin, the method comprising: A) a step of electrostatically spraying a composition X comprising the following component (a) and the following component (b) directly on the skin to thereby form a coating on a skin surface: (a) one or more volatile substances selected from the group consisting of water, an alcohol, and a ketone, and (b) a polymer having a coating forming ability; and B) a step of applying a composition Y, other than the composition X, containing the following component (c) and the following component (d) to the skin: (c) 5% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less of an adhesive polymer, and (d) 1% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of a polyol, in this order or in reverse order.

An oil-in-water composition is provided. The composition includes an oil-in-water wherein the emulsion includes a) one or more antioxidants, b) one or more SPF boosters, c) one or more acrylate-based polymer capable of stabilizing the composition, d) one or more organic UV filters, e) one or more thickeners, f) one or more film formers; and g) one or more emulsifiers. The oil-in-water composition is provided in which the composition is essentially free of oxybenzone.

A method of thickening cosmetics containing a crosslinked water-swellable polymer, or a microgel obtained by pulverizing a hydrophilic compound having gelation ability. The method comprises adding a linear polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof, or a linear poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) or a salt thereof, having a weight-average molecular weight of 500,000 to 8,000,000, which has a thread length of 10 mm or less at room temperature when formed into a 1% by mass solution. The method provides cosmetics having an improved viscoelastic ratio, with a rich and full-bodied feeling upon application.

Suggested is a mixture for improving the sun protection of compositions comprising UV filters, the mixture consisting of (a) beeswax; and (b) at least one lactylate ester.

A dispersion stabiliser precursor composition including one or more of cucurbituril, a variant or a derivative thereof, and one or more oil-in-water macromolecular amphiphilic emulsifier, wherein the composition is in the form of a free flowing powder; and an oil-in-water emulsion composition including one or more of cucurbituril, a variant or a derivative thereof, and one or more oil-in-water macromolecular amphiphilic emulsifier.

A foaming antiperspirant or deodorant composition comprising: a. an oil and water emulsion; b. a first blowing agent with at least 0.1% water solubility at 20° C.; and c. a second blowing agent with a water solubility of at most 0.01% at 20° C.

A foaming antiperspirant or deodorant composition comprising: a. an oil in water emulsion comprising: i. a first oil phase comprising one or more emollients; ii. a second oil phase comprising one or more emollients; wherein the second oil phase emollients have at most 5% solubility in the first oil phase emollients; iii. an antiperspirant or deodorant active; iv. one or more nonionic emulsifier; and v. a fragrance; and b. at most about 15%, by weight of the composition, of a blowing agent.

The present disclosure relates to delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for releasing an active ingredient including a step of contacting a powdered composition with a medium having a pH≤7. The powdered composition includes granules made of a water soluble polymer matrix, an oil phase dispersed in said matrix and carbonate particles. Consumer products such as an antiperspirant or deodorant composition or a powder soft drink beverage composition including the powdered composition are also object of the present disclosure.
