One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition that comprises water-soluble silicone-modified polysaccharides and water, is capable of being blended in an aqueous phase of an emulsion, and improves the feeling during use, such as oiliness and stickiness. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition that has water resistance and oil resistance, has excellent makeup durability, and does not come off with water but can be removed with warm water. The present invention provides a cosmetic composition comprising the following components (A) and (B): (A) a silicone-modified polysaccharide comprising one or more silicone residues bonded to a hydroxyl group in a monosaccharide unit of the polysaccharide, the silicone residues being represented by the general formula (1) and having an average number of the silicone residues bonded to one mol of the monosaccharide unit of 0.001 mol or more and 0.1 mol or less, in an amount of 0.05% to 20% by mass, based on a total mass of the cosmetic composition, and (B) water in an amount of 5% to 99% by mass, based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising: (i) microspheres for providing soft-focus benefits where said microspheres comprise at least 50% cellulose by weight of microspheres; and, (ii) 0.5 to 10 wt % of a non-silica hydrophilic inorganic thickener; wherein refractive index of said microspheres is from 1.42 to 1.50.

The-use of magnesium hydride in the preparation of a composition for preventing and treating chronic periodontitis, and a magnesium hydride toothpaste are provided. In the composition or the magnesium hydride toothpaste, magnesium hydride has a weight percentage of 1% to 3%. The toothpaste has the functions of disinfection, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, removing tooth stains, improving bad breath, alleviating gingival swelling, bleeding, and recession, and improving periodontitis symptoms. An appropriate amount of magnesium hydride fine particles is added in toothpaste, and the magnesium hydride particles can be hydrolyzed into hydrogen and magnesium ions with anti-inflammatory effects, which can also inhibit alveolar bone resorption. The magnesium hydride-containing composition is safe in use, and can effectively prevent the occurrence and development of periodontal diseases after long-term use.

A toothpaste composition for tooth whitening comprising first contents and second contents, wherein one of the first contents and second contents comprises a tooth whitening agent, and it is constructed such that the first contents and second contents are filled in a container having a diaphragm or separate containers and simultaneously used when brushing teeth is provided. The container is a dip tube container.

An object is to provide a foamable aerosol composition that can be continuously ejected from the container to form dense and uniform foam, and that the formed foam has certain elasticity as well as can be easily spread on an object, and the foamable aerosol composition comprises a stock solution including cellulose nanofibers and a propellant is provided.

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.

The present invention relates to solid compositions comprising a fibrous material of natural origin obtained from plants, wherein the fibrous material comprises micro-scaled and/or nano-scaled fibril agglomerates, and an alditol; a method to obtain such compositions; compositions obtained by this method, products comprising such compositions; and the use of such compositions as formulation aid in such products.

A process for reducing hair damage upon exposure to heat is provided, including: providing aqueous carrier; selecting heat protectant, wherein heat protectant is selected for its ability to impart thermal protection to hair and to be modified carbohydrate polymer, comprising cellulose ether base material functionalized with trialkyl ammonium moieties, having Kjeldahl nitrogen content of 0.75 to 2.5 wt %; and hydrophobic substituents having 16 carbon atoms; providing the selected heat protectant; combining the cosmetically acceptable aqueous carrier and the heat protectant to form aqueous thermal protectant formulation; wherein the aqueous thermal protectant formulation contains 0.1 to 5 wt %, based on weight of the aqueous thermal protectant formulation, of the heat protectant; providing hair; applying the aqueous thermal protectant formulation to hair; providing heat generating hair care appliance; exposing hair to heat at 50 to 300° C. using the heat generating hair care appliance for 1 to 30 minutes.

The invention generally provides a range of compositions and methods that are highly applicable to the field of cosmetics. The invention applies a nanotechnological approach to produce a new generation of compositions providing an improved topical and dermal delivery of lipophilic actives, and specifically non-therapeutic actives that serve as a basis for a range of skin care, personal care, and fragrance products.

The present invention relates to a composition according to the present invention comprises: (a) at least one particle comprising at least one cationic polymer, at least one anionic polymer, and at least one hydrophilic or water-soluble UV filter; and (b) at least one physiologically acceptable volatile medium. The composition according to the present invention is stable, and can have a variety of cosmetic functions. For example, the composition according to the present invention can prepare a film which can have cosmetic effects such as UV filtering, as well as absorbing or adsorbing malodor, changing the appearance of a keratin substrate such as skin, changing the feel to the touch of the keratin substrate, and/or protecting the keratin substrate from, for example, dirt or pollutants.
