Methods of preventing gingival recession, stopping gingival recession, reversing gingival recession, decrease gum recession, increase gingival barrier protection, promoting collagen synthesis, promoting extracellular matrix synthesis, increasing gum resilience, increasing epidermal thickness and/or promoting fibrillin synthesis, in an oral cavity of an animal by contacting the oral care compositions with at least one surface of the oral cavity.

Topical personal care compositions containing NDAC and optionally cystine as actives, whereby the solubility of cystine is enhanced. The compositions can be used to improve skin appearance of chronological aging or photoaging, resulting from exposure to UV light/sunlight, or environmental pollutants.

The invention relates to a W/O emulsion for impregnating nonwoven containing 10-60% by weight of vegetable oil, 0.1-25% by weight of emollients, 10 to 50% by weight of water, a lipophilic emulsifier, an inorganic salt as well as at least one antioxidant, wherein the emulsifier is polyglyceryl-4-diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate and the viscosity of the emulsion is 250-600 mPa.Math.s, determined using a DIN measuring system 33 according to ISO 53019 at a temperature of 293.15 K and at a rotation speed of 500 r/min.

The subject matter of the present disclosure are agents for oxidative hair lightening or hair coloring, containing 70-90% by weight of a total of % water, oxidation dye precursor(s), alkalizing agent(s), and a certain mixture of a crosslinked copolymer of acrylic acid and non-ethoxylated esters of acrylic acid with linear C10-C30 monoalcohols, anionic surfactant, cationic or zwitterionic polymer and linear, saturated C8-C22 alkan-1-ol, and sodium polyacrylate, giving the whitening or coloring agent an application-optimal viscosity and the consistency of a gel-like cream with an excellent feel.

It relates to a solid composition in form of a water-in-oil emulsion comprising: (i) at least one silicone oil; (ii) at least two waxes having a melting point of greater than or equal to 65° C. including polyethylene wax and jojoba ester wax; (iii) at least 5 wt. % of pigment, relative to the total weight of the composition; and (iv) no less than 40 wt. % of an aqueous phase, relative to the total weight of the composition. It also relates to a cosmetic method for caring for and/or making up the skin.

A method for reducing muscle contraction of a facial muscle or reducing the appearance of a fine line or wrinkle is disclosed. The method can include topical application of a composition to facial skin and/or to the fine line or wrinkle. The composition can include an effective amount of Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract, an effective amount of Lavendula stoechas extract, and an effective amount of Acmella oleracea extract. Topical application of the composition to facial skin can reduce muscle contraction of the facial muscle. Topical application of the composition to the fine line or wrinkle can reduce the appearance of the fine line or wrinkle.

Disclosed are compositions, such as makeup removing compositions, that can form a film on a keratin material, such as skin that lifts and removes makeup from the keratin material, such as skin. The compositions may be an aqueous composition including: (a) a hydrophobically modified acrylate film forming homopolymer or copolymer; (b) a hydrophilic film forming polymer; (c) a volatile oil; (d) a nonionic surfactant; (e) optionally, a monoalcohol having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms; and (f) water. Alternatively, the compositions may be anhydrous compositions including: (a) a hydrophobically modified acrylate film forming homopolymer or copolymer; (b) a plasticizer; and (c) a volatile oil. Also disclosed are methods for cleansing and removing makeup from keratin material, such as skin.

Provided is a polyurethane gel composition containing A and B below. Here, A represents a polyurethane obtained by reaction of (a) a hydrogenated polybutadiene having isocyanate groups at the terminals and (b) a glycol represented by HO—R.sub.3—OH (wherein R.sub.3 represents a linear or branched C2 to C6 alkylene group optionally having an ether bond), or A represents a polyurethane obtained by reaction of (c) a hydrogenated polybutadiene having hydroxyl groups at the terminals, (d) a diisocyanate compound, and the (b) glycol represented by HO—R.sub.3—OH (wherein R.sub.3 represents a linear or branched C2 to C6 alkylene group optionally having an ether bond), and B represents an oil agent. The polyurethane gel composition of the present invention is particularly useful as a raw material for cosmetics since a film of an oil-soluble gel obtained using the polyurethane gel composition is exceptionally excellent in any point of transparency, high gloss, elasticity, and resilience.

A water-in-oil emulsion composition comprising (a) water, (b) at least one oil, (c) at least one surfactant, (d) at least one water-soluble vinyl polymer, and (e) at least one organosiloxane film-former that is selected from a silicone resin and a random acrylic/silicone graft copolymer is provided. The composition may be a composition for eyelashes, for example a mascara composition further including at least one colorant.
