Provided is a makeup cosmetic having bright fluorescent colouring whilst still having excellent transparency (being clear), and a cosmetic colouring material that is suitable for the cosmetic. The makeup cosmetic comprises (A) at least one kind of oil-soluble dye selected from the group consisting of red no. 218, red no. 223 and orange no. 201, (B) particles of a specific material selected from hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, a metal oxide (other than ferric oxide) and silica, and (C) oil, wherein the blending amount of pigment is not greater than 0.5 mass %, and the blending amount of water is less than 1.5 mass %. The makeup cosmetic, achieves high luminance fluorescent colouring whilst also having excellent transparency, and can be used as a lip cosmetic, blusher or eye shadow.

Dry mixtures and liquid formulations are provided that comprise metal oxide and/or metal hydroxide nanocrystalline particles. The dry mixtures are advantageously formulated with select surfactants to be readily solubilized and stable in liquid carriers. Additional select components are provided in preferred combinations that are capable of achieving improved biocidal and chemical agent efficacy. Notably, the inventive formulations provided herein allow for easier delivery of the formulations and increased shelf stability.

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.

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 present invention relates to a cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising: (i) at least one C.sub.16-C.sub.30 fatty alcohol; (ii) at least one anionic surfactant of general formula (I): RCOY(CH.sub.2)nSO.sub.3M; (iii) at least one oil; (iv) at least one wax, and (v) at least one hydrophilic solvent, the weight ratio of anionic surfactant(s) of general formula (I)/fatty alcohol(s) ranging from 1/5 to 1/3, said composition comprising from 1% to 10% by weight of wax(es) relative to the total weight of the composition. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing said composition and a cosmetic makeup and/or care process.

To provide a composition in which fine particles of solid lipid such as ceramides are emulsified and dispersed in a stable manner without being crystalized. A dispersion of fine lipid particles containing the following components (A) to (E), wherein the dispersion has a pH of 3.5 or more and 8.0 or less and the fine lipid particles have a heat of fusion of 0.30 J/g or less in a temperature range of 45° C. or more and 80° C. or less and an average particle size of less than 200 nm. (A) one or more selected from the group consisting of a sterol and a derivative thereof, (B) a lipid other than the component (A), the lipid being solid or semi-solid at 25° C., (C) an anionic surfactant, (D) a water-soluble solvent and (E) water.

The invention relates to stable, anhydrous concentrated cleanser formulations.

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 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.

The present disclosure relates to compositions for altering the tone or color of the hair, the compositions comprising at least one amino acid, at least one carboxylic acid, monoethanolamine, and at least one hair coloring agent comprising a direct dye. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions.
