A cleaning wipe having a nonwoven substrate impregnated with a dispersal composition including at least one of a polar solvent and a water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed. The dispersal composition provides an enhancement to the dispersion of the nonwoven substrate including a binder when placed within a waste water stream after use, thereby more effectively disposing of the wipe after use.

Disclosed is a self-invertible inverse latex including an aqueous phase containing: a. a crosslinked anionic polyelectrolyte (P) including: —at least one monomer unit derived from 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl) amino] 1-propanesulfonic acid in the form of a free or partially or totally salified acid; —at least one monomer unit derived from at least one monomer selected from the elements of the group consisting of acrylamide, N,N-dimethyl acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-isopropyl acrylamide, N-tert-butyl acrylamide; and —at least one monomer unit derived from a polyethylenic crosslinking monomer (AR); b. tetrasodium salt of glutamic acid, N,N diacetic acid.

Disclosed is a self-invertible inverse latex having an aqueous phase, including: a) a cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte (P) including:—at least one first monomer unit derived from 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino] 1-propane sulfonic acid in the form of a free or partially or totally salified acid; and—at least one second monomer unit derived from at least one monomer selected from the elements of the group consisting of (2-hydroxyethyl)acrylate, (2,3-dihydroxypropyl)acrylate, (2-hydroxyethyl)methacrylate, (2,3-dihydroxypropyl)methacrylate, or vinylpyrrolidone; and—at least one monomer unit derived from a cross-linking polyethylenic monomer (AR); b) at least one chelating compound (SQ) selected from the elements of the group consisting of ethylenediamine disuccinic acid in the form of trisodium salt, tetrasodium salt of glutamic acid, N,N diacetic, or the sodium salt of imminosuccinic acid.

A cosmetic composition comprising an aqueous phase; at least one UV filter; an oil phase; an emulsifier system comprising from about 0.05 to about 1 wt. % of one ionic surfactant; from about 2.5 to 4.0 wt. % of one non-ionic surfactant with an HLB greater than or equal to about 14; from about 0.5 to 1.5 wt. % of one non-ionic surfactant with an HLB around about 10; from about 0.25 to 0.75 wt. % of one non-ionic surfactant with an HLB less than or equal to about 6; and from about 0.25 to 0.75 wt. % of one anionic surfactant, a water/oil phase ratio which is from about 1.3:1.0 to about 2.0:1.0 wt. %; and wherein the cosmetic composition is an emulsion with a viscosity less than 40.0 UD (spindle M1); and wherein the emulsion produces a mist spray without requiring to be mixed with propellant.

This invention relates to a process for preparing an inverse emulsion comprising mixing an aqueous solution comprising a water-soluble (co)polymer A synthesized from at least one cationic monomer and an inverse EMI 2 emulsion comprising a water-soluble (co)polymer B synthesized from at least one cationic monomer, optionally followed by distillation.

This invention also relates to the inverse emulsion thus obtained, a detergent or cosmetic or softening composition comprising such an inverse emulsion, as well as the use of such an inverse emulsion to improve the softening properties of a fabric softening composition.

An oil-based composition includes: (A) polyoxyethylene (POE) hardened castor oil having an HLB of 12 or less; (B) an organic-modified clay mineral; and (C) polar oil.

This invention relates to a water in oil emulsion composition which provides enhanced delivery of water soluble skin benefit agent. The invention more particularly relates to a wash off composition e.g that for washing hair, body, hand or face which generally contain anionic surfactants and yet provide enhanced delivery of such agents. It does this by delivering the actives through a specific water-in-oil emulsion. The water-in-oil emulsion comprises a hydrophobic phase preferably petrolatum with preferred emulsifiers being non-ionic surfactant of specified HLB range.

The present invention relates cosmetic compositions comprising a mixture of 1,4-di(benzoxazol-2′-yl)benzene and a preservative as well as to the use of said mixture as antimicrobial agent.

Water-in-oil sunscreen emulsion compositions including an aqueous phase emulsified within an external fatty phase are provided. The external fatty phase includes at least one silicone fatty compound and at least about 10% by weight of organic UV filters with respect to the entire sunscreen composition. The compositions include an emulsifying silicone elastomer and a non-elastomeric silicone surfactant.

The compositions further include swellable clay and pigment.
