The present invention relates to a cosmetic process which applies onto the skin a self-standing cosmetic sheet for the skin, comprising: at least one biocompatible and/or biodegradable hydrophobic polymer layer wherein the self-standing cosmetic sheet has a thickness of from 10 to 1000 nm, preferably from 30 to 500 nm, and more preferably from 50 to 300 nm. The cosmetic sheet according to the present invention may comprise at least one cosmetic active ingredient. The cosmetic sheet used in the present invention is very thin and not easily perceived on the skin; can be prepared with a variety of materials such as a biocompatible and/or biodegradable material, preferably non-cross-linked poly(lactic acid) or a combination of chitosan and alginic acid; and can adhere well onto the skin without any adhesive layer so that it is less irritable or no irritable to the skin.

The present application relates to antiperspirant compositions comprising nitrogen-based and/or oxygen based perfume raw materials, and methods for making and using the antiperspirant compositions.

The invention relates to a topical antimicrobial formulation comprising an acidic substance comprising at least one organic acid diluted in an aqueous solvent while having an action deleterious against microbes, said acidic substance having an acidity constant pKa that is less than 6, as well as: between 1% and 10% by weight of acidic substance in the INCI base; a basic substance the quantity of which in the formulation is such that the pH is comprised between the pKa of the acidic substance and 8; between 0.1% and 15% by weight of a booster substance capable of biochemically interacting with the membrane of the microbes to facilitate the deleterious action of the acidic substance, said booster substance comprising at least one compound in the INCI base selected from amphiphilic compounds, chelating compounds having an ability to associate with divalent ions or sterols, or polyphenolic compounds.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for their use that include a combination of Leontopodium alpinum extract, Halidrys siliquosa extract, vegetable amino acids, niacinamide, hexylresorcinol, Pinus pinaster extract, Betula alba extract, Albizia julibrissin bark extract, hydrolyzed Candida saitoana extract, Lentinus edodes mycelium extract, and/or Opuntia tuna fruit extract.

An anhydrous stick composition, including deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, or a combination thereof; a carrier; a structurant; and a cyclodextrin perfume complex, comprising cyclodextrin and a perfume, wherein the perfume comprises perfume raw materials and 10% or more, by weight of the perfume, of the perfume raw materials have: a cyclodextrin complex stability constant of about 3.0 or less, a C log P of about 2.5 or less; and a weight average molecular weight of about 200 Daltons or less.

A spray composition is provided. The spray composition includes a perfume-cyclodextrin complex, the perfume-cyclodextrin complex having perfume raw materials, wherein 10% or more, by weight of the perfume raw materials have: a cyclodextrin complex stability constant (log k) of less than about 3.0, a C log P of about 2.5 or less; and a weight average molecular weight of about 200 Daltons or less; and cyclodextrin. The spray composition includes a solvent and less than 10 wt. % water, by weight of the total composition. A sprayable product including the spray composition and a method of treating a surface is provided.

A perfume composition for improved release from a cyclodextrin complex, wherein the perfume composition includes 10% or more, by weight of the perfume, of one or more perfume raw materials having: a cyclodextrin complex stability constant of about 3.0 or less, a C log P of about 2.5 or less; and a weight average molecular weight of about 200 Daltons or less.

A personal aerosol composition including a solvent, a cyclodextrin perfume complex, and a propellant, where the cyclodextrin perfume complex includes 10% or more perfume raw materials, by weight of the perfume, having: a cyclodextrin complex stability constant of about 3.0 or less, a C log P of about 2.5 or less; and a weight average molecular weight of about 200 Daltons or less.

A cosmetic composition for whitening skin and a preparation method thereof The composition comprises the following components: pearl powder, pearl extract, glycyrrhiza glabra aqueous solution, hydrolyzed conchiolin protein and pea extract. The contents of the pearl powder and the pearl extract are not both zero, and the glycyrrhiza glabra aqueous solution contains 0.5 to 5.0% of the glycyrrhiza glabra extract.

Aerosolized compositions including a cyclic oligosaccharide; a fragrance; a volatile solvent; and a propellant; wherein the aerosolized composition is free of nonvolatile solvents are described herein. The aerosolized compositions and methods disclosed herein may provide a longer lasting fragrance.
