A fragrance-containing microparticle of water-insoluble polymeric material, the polymer having a glass transition temperature of from 0° C. to 50° C. and a zeta potential lying within the ranges −40 mV to −5 mV and +5 mV to +45 mV. The microparticles have enhanced substantivity to hair, resulting in a longer-lasting fragrance.

The invention relates to stable, mild and moisturizing lamellar liquid cleansing compositions which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. However, these liquids often are either unstable or cause poor lather production and other sensory deficits The use of a specific ratio of total acyl isethionates to acyl glutamates or other divalent anionic surfactant in a structured liquid product improve stability and lather production, mildness and acceptable odor.

A method for visibly whitening teeth at least three shades as measured using a tooth shade grading system, the method comprising providing a gel composition that (a) does not contain a peroxide bleaching agent, (b) is conformable to teeth surfaces and to interstitial spaces between teeth, without permanent deformation thereof, and (c) is removably attached to a release liner; wherein the gel strip consists essentially of (x) a sea salt and (y) at least two essential oils selected from the group consisting of (i) lemon peel oil; (ii) coconut oil; and (iii) sage oil; and applying the gel strip to the outer surface of the teeth in an amount sufficient to coat the teeth, once daily for a period of time from about 15 minutes to about 30 minutes. A method for preventing teeth staining by applying the above gel composition twice to teeth allowing 30 seconds drying between applications.

The invention is directed to a composition suitable for topical application that comprises a naturally derived preservative having benzoic acid or a derivative thereof. The composition is stable when preserved with the naturally derived preservative and when at a pH that is above the natural pH of skin to as high as 7.25.

The invention relates to a method for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres, such as the hair, comprising a stage of application of a composition comprising at least one metal compound, the metal of which belongs to the group of the rare earth metals, and then a stage of application of a shampoo comprising at least one surfactant.

The present invention relates to a composition, notably an aqueous cosmetic composition, comprising at least one screening agent chosen from water-soluble or water-dispersible screening agents that are capable of absorbing UV rays from 320 to 400 nm (UVA), water-soluble or water-dispersible screening agents that are capable of absorbing UV rays from 280 to 320 nm (UVB), and mixtures thereof; at least one hydrophilic thickener; and at least one surfactant with an HLB of greater than or equal to 7.

The present invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for treating keratin materials, preferably the skin, comprising the application, to said keratin materials, of a composition according to the invention.

The subject of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: Application of a pretreatment agent (V) to the keratinous material, the pretreatment agent being in a water-comprising carrier (V-1) comprises at least one anionic surfactant, and Application of a colorant (F) to the keratinous material, wherein the colorant is (F-1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer and (F-2) comprises at least one pigment.

A second object of the present disclosure is a multi-component packaging unit which comprises the two colorants (V) and (F) in two separately packaged containers.

The present specification discloses compositions comprising one or more encapsulates comprising one or more agents and methods and uses for the disclosed agents. A composition disclosed herein can be incorporated into a body wash, an after shower body lotion, a shampoo, a conditioner, a soap, a gel, a hand sanitizer, a cream, a spray, a mouse, a lotion, an ointment, a make-up product, a lip balm, a hair spray product, an arachnid/insect repellent or a medicinal product.

A rheofluidifying surfactant composition structured into planar lamellar phases includes: a) at least one anionic surfactant and b) at least one compound selected from among amphoteric surfactants and non-ionic surfactants, in which the total active material of said surfactants is between 35 and 60% by weight relative to the total weight of said composition, in which the ratio of anionic surfactant is between 0.3 and 0.9, the ratio of amphoteric surfactant is between 0.0 and 0.7 and the ratio of non-ionic surfactant is between 0.0 and 0.7, said ratio being the ratio between the weight percentage of active material of said surfactant in said composition and the weight percentage of total active material of said surfactants in said composition, the pH of the composition being between 4 and 8, said at least one anionic surfactant being selected from the group comprising alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, sulfonates, derivatives of phosphoric acid, phosphates and alkyl phosphates, isethionates, taurates, sulfoccinates, alkyl sulfoacetates, anionic derivatives of proteins of plant origin, amino acids and amino acid derivatives, polypeptides, carboxylic acids and the salts of same, salts of fatty acids from saponification, lactic acid derivatives and alkyl polyglucoside derivatives, and said composition being free of sodium chloride other than that which may be provided by the surfactants.

The disclosure is directed to processes and methods of reducing bloating and breakage of containers and packaging that house oral care compositions. Also contemplated are products and formulations that are produced or obtained from the processes and methods described herein.
