Disclosed is a personal care composition comprising: (a) a cationic or nonionic surfactant; (b) a high melting point fatty compound having a melting point of from 25oC to 60oC (c) a solid organic compound having a water solubility of lower than 25 g per 1 liter water, and having a melting point of exceeding 60oC, and also having a specific Alog P; (d) a first liquid oily compound other than a second liquid oily compound, wherein the first liquid oily compound has a water solubility of 10 g per 1 liter water or less, wherein a mixture of all the first liquid oily compounds included in the composition has a di-electric constant of from about 5 to about 10, and wherein the weight ratio of the solid organic compound to the first liquid oily compound is from about 1:1 to about 1:10; and (e) an aqueous carrier, wherein the composition comprises 0.1% or less of a second liquid oily compound having a higher AlogP of 7.0 or higher. The composition of the present invention provides improved deposition of the solid organic compound and/or reduced crystallization of the solid organic compound in the composition.

The present disclosure provides a cleansing composition that includes a combined amount of disodium alkyl ethoxy dimethicone sulfosuccinate; polyglycerol; and ethoxylated sorbitan ester.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for styling hair comprising at least two latex polymers, wherein at least one latex polymer is a film-forming polymer; at least one aminofunctional silicone; at least one thickening agent chosen from optionally crosslinked and/or neutralized 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid polymers (AMPS) and copolymers, crosslinked anionic copolymers of acrylamide, crosslinked anionic copolymers of AMPS, emulsions of crosslinked anionic copolymers of acrylamide/nonionic surfactants, emulsions of AMPS/nonionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof; at least one nonionic surfactant chosen glyceryl esters, fatty alcohols, alkoxylated alcohols and lanolin, alkylpolyglucosides, or mixtures thereof; and water; wherein the at least two latex polymers are present in a combined amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition.

Disclosed herein are foaming cosmetic compositions comprising: at least one anionic thickening agent; at least two alkaline compounds; and at least one silicone. Methods for producing the foaming cosmetic compositions and for improving the stability of a foamed cosmetic composition are also disclosed.

A meta-stable composition, a product including the meta-stable composition, and a method of protecting a keratinous substrate from UV radiation by applying the product are provided. The meta-stable cosmetic composition includes at least one water-in-oil emulsifier having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of less than 6, at least one non-ionic oil-in-water emulsifier having an HLB of greater than 9, at least one ionic surfactant, and at least one skin care active ingredient. The weight ratio of the at least one non-ionic oil-in-water emulsifier to the at least one water-in-oil emulsifier is about 0.02 to about 2.0. The meta-stable cosmetic composition converts from an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion to a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion upon rubbing.

The present disclosure is directed to compositions having lecithin, a plasticizer, and an emulsifier. The composition may be used solubilize polar solvents in non-polar liquids. Methods of producing and using the compositions disclosed herein are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a composition for collection of carbon dioxide using a liquid surfactant. The aerosol composition containing a liquid surfactant, of the present invention, has no deterioration in quality even at high temperatures, absorbs carbon dioxide to form a predetermined shaped foam when sprayed on the skin, is smoothly absorbed when rolled several times, and is naturally absorbed into the skin after several minutes even when left by completely losing carbon dioxide, and thus the aerosol composition can be favorably used as a foam type cosmetic product.
