Compositions for delivering materials, such as a biological material, sand, soil, metal, water, sea water, holy water, synthetic or biological polymers, cremated ash, ceramics, animal or plant tissue, or another physiologically compatible component having personal significance to an individual are described herein. The material(s) are encapsulated in an inert, non-bioerodible, hydrophobic, polymeric material. Methods of making microparticles encapsulating the personalizing substance and methods of use are also provided. The personalizing substance may be encapsulated in a polymeric non-bioerodible microparticle. The encapsulated personalizing substance may be combined with a carrier for delivery to an individual's skin. In some embodiments, the personalizing substance is added to a tattoo ink and incorporated in a tattoo created on an individual's skin. Following injection in the skin, the encapsulated material remains in the microparticles, and is not released over time.

The invention relates to cosmetic products for temporarily shaping keratin fibers, including, relative to the total weight of the product, a) 0.5 to 3.0 wt.-% of at least one hydrophobically modified (meth)acrylic acid copolymer; and b) 0.5 to 5.0 wt.-% of at least one copolymer which is different from copolymer a) and which is obtained by reacting at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer unit (b1) with at least one saccharide monomer unit (b2), and to the use thereof and to a method for using said products.

A method and kit for treating a nail surface. The method includes brushing or spraying an adhesive on a coated or uncoated nail surface to form an adhesive-coated surface. A covering (e.g., a curable nail gel, evaporative nail polish, or artificial nail) is then applied to the adhesive-coated surface. The covering is removable by soaking in solvent for less than 20 minutes, peeling, or a combination thereof.

A water-based pigmented preparation, its production and use and its application in a capillary storage system.

The present disclosure describes a cleansing device. The cleansing device includes a container that is dissolvable in water. The cleansing device also includes a personal care composition. The personal care composition is disposed within the container. When the container dissolves, the personal care composition is to be deposited on a surface.

The present invention relates to particular photodimerizable polymers comprising at least one polyoxyalkylene group, and also to a composition comprising at least one of these polymers. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin materials, in particular keratin fibres, preferably human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin materials of at least one of these particular photodimerizable polymers.

A multi-film delivery system for a multi-component tooth whitening, desensitization and remineralization composition is disclosed which comprises a first orally dissolvable film made of a liquid-soluble or liquid dispersible polymer system containing a peroxide activation compound or complex and desensitizing agents and/or remineralizing agents and/or anti-inflammatory agents, and a separate second undissolvable film containing a tooth whitening peroxide compound, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, stabilizers and thickeners, and/or desensitizing agents and/or remineralizing agents and/or anti-inflammatory agents, which, when applied together on teeth surfaces, the peroxide activation compound/complex on the first film activates the peroxide compound on the second film, and accelerates the release of active bleaching radicals for accelerated whitening action. The first and second films are maintained separate from one another until application. The first orally dissolvable film is placed on a surface of the tooth, then immediately hydrates thereby becoming gelatinous upon contact with saliva, and initiates its adhesiveness, the second undissolvable film is then placed on top of the first orally dissolvable film, the peroxide activation compound/complex on the first film reacts with the tooth whitening peroxygen compound on the second film and accelerates the release of active bleaching radicals for rapid whitening action. The dissolution of the first dissolvable film is controlled by interaction with the fluid or liquid contained in the whitening composition on the second undissolvable film.

A beauty care product is provided. The beauty care product has a multi-layered barrier patch with a non-foamed first layer and a foamed second layer. The non-foamed first layer has a non-foamed polymer film with a first surface and a thickness from 5 microns to 250 microns. The foamed second layer has a foamed polymer film comprising a Mean Void Volume Percentage from 45% to 80% and a thickness of from 10 microns to 250 microns. The beauty care product also has a cosmetic composition with an effective amount of a skin active agent and a pressure sensitive adhesive.
