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 disclosure relates to delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for releasing an active ingredient including a step of contacting a powdered composition with a medium having a pH≤7. The powdered composition includes granules made of a water soluble polymer matrix, an oil phase dispersed in said matrix and carbonate particles. Consumer products such as an antiperspirant or deodorant composition or a powder soft drink beverage composition including the powdered composition are also object of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to the use of a methacrylate or acrylate modified polysaccharide; or a single-chain polysaccharide methacrylate or acrylate-based nanoparticle, having a surface tension measured by Du Noüy Ring method equal to or lower than 63 mN/m, as oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer; and an oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer composition, and an oil-in-water emulsion containing them. It also relates to processes for their preparation, and their uses.

Provided are a cleaner base containing a solid composition including a solid surfactant and a water-soluble polymer, a gel cleaning composition having a viscosity of greater than or equal to about 50 cPs including the cleaner base containing a solid composition and water, and a method for preparing the gel cleaning composition.

A composition for improving skin properties and a method for improving skin properties are provided. The composition containing a high-amylose cornstarch for improving skin properties is provided. The method for improving skin properties including a step of taking a high-amylose cornstarch by a daily amount effective for improving the skin properties for four weeks or more is provided. The method excludes a medical treatment to human.

Native or physically or chemically modified starches, consisting of insoluble native particles with a smooth surface, free of edges, harshness, and roughness of any kind, are used as ingredients for cosmetic compositions. The particles can be of a regular spheroidal shape with diameter between 0.1 and 60 microns or of a lenticular/lamellar shape with diameter between 5 and 60 microns and thickness between 0.5 and 15 microns. Using such starches allows obtaining cosmetic compositions with high aesthetic features.

Disclosed herein is a free flowing, oil absorbing and water repellant modified carbohydrate, wherein the modified car-bohydrate is produced from a carbohydrate base being derivatized with one or more anionic moieties; esterified with octenylsuccinic anhydride; and complexed with a polyvalent cation, as well as compositions containing such modified carbohydrates. Such modified carbohydrates and compositions containing same are used in food and personal care applications, cosmetics, dry shampoo, anti-perspirant, deodorant, ointment and sunscreen.

Systems, devices, non-transitory computer storage mediums, and methods are described herein for pharmaceutical benefits management including routing pharmaceutical claims over a computer network. The system includes a computer network and a client device communicatively coupled to the computer network. The client device is configured to receive order information representative of a prescription drug prescribed for a consumer. The system includes a communications switch configured to derive a processor control number associated with the order information and route the order information based on the processor control number. The system includes a pharmaceutical benefits manager configured to authorize the prescription drug with the reimbursement based on the processor control number and configured to transmit the authorization with the reimbursement to the client device.

The present invention relates to a seaweed-based composition comprising water, a seaweed powder and an additional component, said additional component being chosen from the group consisting of glucomannans, galactomannans, native starch and combinations thereof. Preferably, the red seaweed selected from the families of Gigartinaceae, Bangiophyceae, Palmariaceae, Hypneaceae, Cystocloniaceae, Solieriaceae, Phyllophoraceae and Furcellariaceae or combinations thereof.

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 thickener 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.
