A robust sunscreen composition is disclosed herein comprising a water soluble polymer and a water insoluble film former providing a synergistic effect in SPF retention and critical wavelength after immersion in water, salt water, and chlorinated water. The water soluble polymer comprises poloxamer 338 (and) PPG-12/SMDI copolymer, poloxamer 407 (and) PPG-12/SMDI copolymer, or a combination thereof.

An oral care composition comprising zinc phosphate, stannous fluoride and an organic acid buffer system, as well as methods of using the same.

An oral composition is described. The oral composition can include a solvent having water and a cosolvent chosen from lower alkyl alcohols and acetone; a basic copolymer having basic acrylate monomeric units, basic methacrylate monomeric units, or a combination thereof; no less than 0.5 wt-% of an acid buffering or neutralizing agent; and optionally an active agent. The oral composition can include from about 6 to about 15 wt % of water, from about 30 to about 80 wt % of the cosolvent, and from about 25 to about 55 wt-% of the basic copolymer. The basic copolymer can be dissolved in the oral composition, the oral composition is capable of forming a film on a surface when contacted with an aqueous solution; and the wt-% of each component is based on the total weight of the composition.

The present invention relates to satin lip compositions including at least one silicone resin comprising at least one T unit, at least one silicone acrylate copolymer, at least one silicone wax, at least one volatile hydrocarbon oil, and at least one non-volatile hydrocarbon oil having a molecular weight greater than 400 g/mol, as well as to methods of making such compositions and methods of applying such compositions to lips.

Methods for use in selectively conditioning and remineralizing teeth. An exemplary method comprises the steps of applying a conditioning composition to one or more of a person's teeth, and separately applying a remineralizing composition to the person's teeth. The conditioning composition includes a conditioning agent, and the remineralizing composition includes a remineralizing agent comprising calcium ions and/or fluoride ions. The conditioning composition may be applied prior to or after application of the remineralizing composition. In one embodiment, both the conditioning composition and the remineralizing composition include different remineralizing ions (e.g., one including calcium, one including fluoride).

Disclosed are a cosmetic composition having increased skin contact and makeup persistence and a method of manufacturing the same. The method includes: forming a powder continuous phase by rapidly mixing a powder and a film-forming agent; and obtaining a cosmetic composition in which a surface of the powder is compounded with the film-forming agent by heating the powder continuous phase for a predetermined time. In an embodiment, the cosmetic composition is manufactured by the method. In an embodiment, the cosmetic composition includes 5 wt % to 30 wt % of a powder, 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of a film-forming agent, 10 wt % to 30 wt % of a silicone oil, and 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of a spherical powder.

The invention presents a fast-drying nail enamel composition with good stability, easy application, high shine and long wear. The disclosed combination of an acrylic resin having a T.sub.g greater than a threshold temperature; a second resin having a T.sub.g less than the threshold temperature; at least one plasticizer selected from the group consisting of a benzoic acid derivative, a citric acid derivative, and an isobutyrate derivative; a non-polar silicone copolymer; and at least one solvent having an evaporation rate greater than butyl acetate provides a nail polish that can be dried within 40-60 seconds on fingernails without sacrificing other critical properties such as shine and wear resistance.

A hydrogel composition from a cross-linked polymer derived from one or more olefinically unsaturated polymerizable carboxylic monomers and a thermoplastic polyurethane composition is disclosed. The hydrogel exhibits high yield stress at low shear. The hydrogel composition provides useful materials for personal care, health care, medical and pharmaceutical applications, among others.

A composition for treating a keratin material, comprising at least one amino acid surfactant, at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, at least one solid fatty acid, at least one starch phosphates, and at least one acrylic thickening polymer. The composition has an improved rinsing speed after application, and is stable over 2 months, with an improved foaming properties, such as density of foam, and foaming volume.

A method of forming dual melamine/acrylic walled microcapsules having improved physical properties and release control as well as the microcapsules formed by the process wherein the capsule wall is formed by the use of select (meth)acrylate monomers and/or oligomers and/or select self-condensing melamine resins.
