The present invention relates to a cosmetic make-up composition for the skin in the form of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion comprising in a physiological acceptable medium at least: a) an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, b) a hydrophobic film-forming polymer, c) one or more volatile hydrocarbon oils, preferably in an amount of at least 10 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition, d) one or more absorbent fillers having an oil uptake greater than or equal to 30 ml/100 g and e) pigments.

Providing a cosmetic having a smooth after-feel even if the cosmetic contains a high proportion of oil. A cosmetic includes (A) a starch powder, and as oils, (B) a polar oil and (C) a volatile oil. The ratio of (C) the volatile oil to (B) the polar oil being 0.5 or higher.

A skincare composition is provided, which comprises at least one clay, at least one first binding agent; and at least one second binding agent. The composition is to be used in a peristomal environment, and provides neutralization of stomal output.

A deodorant stick comprising: at least about 25% of a liquid triglyceride; at least one antimicrobial; a primary structurant with a melting point of at least about 50° C.; and less than 8% of secondary structurants having a melting point of at least about 60° C.; said stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said stick having a hardness from about 80 mm.sup.∗10 to about 140 mm.sup.∗10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

Shampoo compositions having an anionic surfactant, cationic deposition polymer, sheet-like microcapsules and an aqueous carrier. The shampoo composition delivers both good in use benefits, while maintaining a consumer desirable appearance. The sheet-like microcapsules can also contain perfumes, extracts, dyes, colorants, and/or benefit agents.

A deodorant stick comprising at least 25% by weight liquid triglyceride; a primary antimicrobial having a water solubility of at most about 90 g/L at 25° C.; a fragrance composition comprising at least about 50% natural oils, essential oils, or a combination thereof; and a primary structurant with a melting point of at least 50° C.; said deodorant stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said deodorant stick having a hardness from about 70 mm*10 to about 140 mm*10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

The present invention generally relates to the field of skin care. More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprising live bacteria of at least one Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) strain in combination with a solubilizer that specifically supports their viability during storage and/or their ability to replicate after application to the skin. Preferably, the cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprises bacteria of at least one C. acnes strain selected from the group consisting of D1, A5, C1, C3, H1, H2, H3, K1, K2, K4, K6, K8, K9, L1, and F4. The invention also provides a method for treating or preventing acne by applying the skin care composition of the invention to a skin area in need of treatment. The invention also relates to the use of a skin care composition of the invention for treating or preventing acne.

A dispersion stabiliser precursor composition including one or more of cucurbituril, a variant or a derivative thereof, and one or more oil-in-water macromolecular amphiphilic emulsifier, wherein the composition is in the form of a free flowing powder; and an oil-in-water emulsion composition including one or more of cucurbituril, a variant or a derivative thereof, and one or more oil-in-water macromolecular amphiphilic emulsifier.

Described herein is a nanofibre matrix comprising 100% natural biopolymers selected from polysaccharides and/or proteins with optional functional ingredients for use as cosmetic products. More specifically, nanofibre matrix manufactured by electrospinning methods comprising a dry sheet without containing any preservatives, surfactants, solvents and crosslinkers. To use nanofibre cosmetic products, simply wet skin and then apply the nanofibre to skin. Functional ingredients may be optionally incorporated within the nanofibre matrix during electrospinning to provide different cosmetic effects. Functional ingredients offer skin benefits such as moisturizing, anti-ageing, wrinkle reduction, brightening, antioxidant and acne treatment. Functional ingredients can be essential oil where it is incorporated into nanofibre matrix to provide scent effect to cosmetic products. Functional ingredients can also be natural dye where it is incorporated in nanofibre matrix to make coloured nanofibres. Coloured nanofibres can be used for makeup products such as blush, eye shadow, eyebrow, nail polish, lipstick, contouring and hair dye product. The nanofibre matrix comprising 100% natural biopolymers with or without functional ingredients can be processed to assorted shapes or easily cut by consumers for using on different areas of skin for different purposes.

The present invention is intended to provide an oily makeup cosmetic that is colorless in appearance but develops a color on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips. The present invention provides a colorless oily makeup cosmetic comprising (a) one or two dyes selected from Red No. 218 and Red No. 223, and (b) an oil agent, and a mixture of the component (a) and the component (b) at a mass ratio (a):(b) of 0.1:100 has a difference of 0.2 or less between the maximum absorbance and the minimum absorbance in a wavelength region of 500 to 600 nm. The oily makeup cosmetic may develop a color due to the component (a) on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips.
