##STR00001##

wherein each A comprises an independently selected saccharide moiety; wherein each W is an independently selected beta-amino alcohol moiety; wherein each Y comprises an independently selected organosilicon moiety; wherein each R is independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl groups, ether moieties, amine moieties, and H; wherein each R.sup.1 is independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl groups and H; wherein each Z is an independently selected ether moiety; wherein each subscript a is independently 0 or 1; wherein subscripts x and y are each independently from ≥0 to <1; wherein subscript z is selected from >0 to 1; with the proviso that x+y+z=1; and wherein moieties indicated by subscripts x, y, and z may be in randomized or block form in the silicon glycan.

A nail-care composition includes at least 50 wt. % bio-based components, based on the total weight of the composition, including acrylated epoxidized soybean oil and acrylated linseed oil as bio-based monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) in a ratio of about 4:1 to 7:1, photoinitiator(s); and adhesion promoter(s), the composition having a shear-dependent viscosity of about 1200-4000 cP, measured according to ASTM D7867, under shear stress of about 10-180 N/m.sup.2.

The invention relates to separated, decompacted, cellulose-based fibres acquired from a vegetable raw material, wherein the separated, decompacted, cellulose-based fibres have an aspect ratio after soaking in water of longitudinal diameter to transverse diameter of 1:1 to 1000:1 and a water-binding capacity of >200 wt. % and a water retention capacity of >50%, and a method for acquiring and producing these separated, decompacted cellulose-based fibres. The purification method involves incubation of the vegetable material with an aqueous decomposition solution containing at least one dissolved amino acid and/or peptide with 2-50 amino acids to decompose the compacted cellulose-based fibres.

The present invention is direct to a hair care composition comprising from about 8 to about 17% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.1-0.25% of salicylate salts or acids; from about 0.1-0.25% of benzoate salts or acids wherein there is a weight ratio of about 1:1 to 2.5:1 for the salicylate salts or acids to sodium benzoate salts or acids.

This application provides, among other things, oral care compositions where the addition of a stabilizing amount of a nonionic gelling and thickening agent, (e.g., hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)), to formulations comprising a bisbiguanide (e.g., chlorhexidine (CHX)) agent allows for proper structure and consistency to the formulation and to allow it to be used as a gel or a toothpaste to facility delivery of chlorhexidine, among other actives, to the teeth or gums.

The disclosure relates to compositions for keratin fibers, which have a unique transformative nature that allows the composition to change from a gel to a foam when shear stress is applied to the gel. The disclosure also relates to packaging systems comprising the compositions, and methods of using the compositions.

A single or multi-ply flushable and dispersible wet wipe including a wet laid fibrous web imprinted using a structuring fabric, a binder composition comprising poly(vinyl) alcohol, poly(vinyl) acetate, poly (ethylene) (vinyl) alcohols, poly (ethylene) (vinyl) acetate, copolymers of vinyl acetate-ethylene, or combinations thereof, and one or more additives. In an exemplary embodiment, the fibrous web is wetted by a wetting solution comprising 0.1% to about 10% by weight of one of the following: (1) boric acid; and (2) boric acid and a mono or divalent salt.

The present invention relates to a hyperbranched polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether having a molecular weight from 750 to 15.000 Da; and an epoxy equivalent weight from 183 to 7.000 g/eq. It also relates to a crosslinked polysaccharide obtainable by crosslinking the polysaccharide with the hyperbranched polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether. The present invention also relates to processes for their preparation and their uses in therapy, cosmetic, agriculture and food field.

A stable shampoo composition containing a surfactant system that is substantially free of sulphated surfactants, a cationic polymer, and a sclerotium gum thickener. The shampoo can have a viscosity greater than 2500 cP and a pH greater than 5.5.

This application provides, among other things, oral care compositions where the addition of a stabilizing amount of a nonionic gelling and thickening agent, (e.g., hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)) and an effective amount of a zwitterionic surfactant (e.g., a betaine zwitterionic surfactant) (e.g., cocamidopropyl betaine), to formulations comprising a bisbiguanide (e.g., chlorhexidine (CHX)) agent, and optionally an effective amount of abrasive silica, allows for proper structure and consistency to the formulation and to allow it to be used as a gel or a toothpaste to facility delivery of chlorhexidine, among other actives, to the teeth or gums with acceptable stability and foaming.
