A cosmetic composition for improved penetration of skin active agents including about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of C-glycoside; about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate; about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of sodium polyacrylate; and water, wherein the cosmetic composition is an oil-in-water emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. Methods for treating damaged skin with cosmetic compositions are also disclosed.

A kit for comfortably collecting the scent of one person prolonging it and applying that scent elsewhere on the person or on another person is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the scent collected is the scent from an individual. In still other preferred embodiments, the scent collected is from a sexual partner and is applied elsewhere on that person's body or clothing or to the person's sexual partner. The scent can be collected by applying a collective lotion, which may be provided on a moistened pad, to a user's finger, an applicator or the like and touching or rubbing the desired region. Thereafter, the user's finger or the applicator can be used to apply the scent where desired, such as on their hair, shoulder, arm, chest, external skin area above the upper lip and underneath the nose, hand, wrist, neck, or the like, or on those areas of another desired person. A scent removed may also be provided to subsequently remove the scent transferred as desired.

The present disclosure relates to natural non-sulfate rinse-off rinse-off cleansing compositions with high oil load, methods of use and making. The cleansing compositions include: (a) up to 20 wt. % of one or more anionic surfactants selected from acyl taurates, acyl glutamates, acyl isethionates, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof; (b) one or more nonionic surfactants comprising alkyl polyglucosides; (c) one or more amphoteric surfactants; (d) one or more oil-based conditioning agents selected from squalane, glyceryl esters, natural oils, esters other than glyceryl esters, and mixtures thereof; and (e) one or more thickening agents. The cleansing compositions are particularly useful for cleansing hair.

Described herein are personal care compositions comprising a stability control system comprising a non-ionic opacifier, and a cationic polymer. Methods of making and using the compositions are also described.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for treating and/or cleansing keratinous materials. The compositions comprise at least one carboxylate anionic surfactant, at least one secondary surfactant other than the at least one carboxylate anionic surfactant, at least one glyceryl ester, and a cosmetically acceptable solvent, wherein the at least one carboxylate anionic surfactant and the at least one glyceryl ester are present in a weight ratio ranging from about 0.50 to about 1.00.

A three-part method of cleaning a user's teeth and/or gums is disclosed. First, a user applies a tonic of essential oils to the user's teeth and/or gums by either brushing, rubbing, rinsing and/or flossing with the tonic thereby destroying harmful bacteria. Second, the user brushes with a toothpaste having nano-hydroxyapatite being particles of 50 nanometers or smaller. The nano-hydroxyapatite is absorbed into the surface opening inside dentinal tubules of the teeth. Third, the user seeds their mouth with an oral probiotic having beneficial bacteria. The third step must come after both the first and second steps.

The disclosure relates to compositions and methods for removing direct dyes from hair, the methods comprising contacting hair with a composition comprising (i) at least one organic salt selected from imidazolium-based compounds and/or ammonium-based compounds, and (ii) at least one surfactant. The compositions can further contain at least one co-surfactant and/or cyclic compound.

A self-foaming cleansing composition are provided. The self-foaming composition includes a) from about 0.5% to about 10% wt. % of one or more volatile silicone oils; b) from about 0.5% to about 25% wt. % of one or more surfactants stable at low pH; c) from about at least 1.2% of one or more polymers with suspending properties; d) from about 0.5% to about 5% wt % of one or more thickeners; e) from about 0.5% to about 15% wt. % of one organic acid as cosmetic active ingredient; the self-foaming cleansing composition having a pH in between about 3.4 and 5; the self-foaming cleansing composition starting to foam immediately after application of the compositions onto the skin; wherein the foaming cleansing composition is free of perfluoro compound; and wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the self-foaming cleansing composition.

Cellular energy levels in skin cells affected by oxidative stress can be improved through the use of a skin care composition that includes a sucrose ester and a fatty alcohol present at a specific ratio. The fatty alcohol and sucrose ester, when incorporated into a skin care composition at a specific ratio, can provide a synergistic improvement in cellular ATP level for skin cells suffering from the effects of oxidative stress.

A mousse composition having high gloss and good spreadability comprising: (i) carrier; (ii) one or more surface tension reducing agents that reduce the surface tension of the carrier; (iii) from greater than 5% to about 20% by weight, based on the weight of components (i)-(v), of foaming agent, wherein said foaming agent comprises at least about 30% by weight of trans-1234ze; and (iv) optionally one or more active components in addition to said surface tension reducing agents; and (v) optionally one or more adjuvants.
