A pigment dispersion for aqueous cosmetic compositions and an aqueous cosmetic composition, the pigment dispersion comprising, at least an aluminum lake such as Red No. 40; at least one dispersant selected from polyorganic acids and salts thereof, and nonionic surfactants; and water and a water-soluble organic solvent.

Embodiments described herein relate generally to apparatus, methods and systems for low energy processing of consumer personal hygiene products (PHPs) and formulations of the same. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a consumer PHP comprises combining a first material and second material at room temperature to form a first mixture, mixing the first mixture at room temperature, adding a third material at room temperature to form a second mixture; mixing the second mixture at room temperature, adding a fourth material at room temperature to form a third mixture; and mixing the third mixture at room temperature. In some embodiments, the third material and the fourth material can be mixed to form the second mixture and the first mixture and second mixture can be combined to form the third mixture. In some embodiments, the mixing can be accomplished using a propeller mixer. In some embodiments, the propeller mixer can be rotated at a speed of greater than about 200 rpm during at least one of the mixing steps. In some embodiments, the pH of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 4.5 and about 6.5 using an acidifier. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 100 cP and about 25,000 cP using a thickener.

The present disclosure relates to a gloss-sustainable cosmetic composition, which improves a stuffy feel of use, while including a high-refractive index oil, and provides improved skin gloss sustainability. The water-in-oil type cosmetic composition shows a reduced stuffy feel of use caused by high-refractive index oil, and provides significantly high initial gloss and gloss sustainability.

Disclosed is a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and including: a) at least one oil; b) at least one cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte; c) at least one water-in-oil emulsifying surfactant including an alkylpolyxyloside having a non-linear branched alkyl radical and having 10 to 36 carbon atoms; d) at least one oil-in-water emulsifying surfactant; e) at least one hydrophobic perfuming substance; and f) water.

An improved hair and scalp treatment composition comprising a hair care product wherein the improvement comprises reducing the comedogenicity thereof by excluding therefrom comedogenic elements having a Fulton scale grade greater than 2.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising DHA in combination with defined amounts of acrylates/VA copolymer and acrylates copolymer in a cosmetically acceptable base or delivery vehicle. When applied topically, these compositions have much less malodor that known DHA-containing products while providing a tan with even coloration that is more natural looking than many DHA-induced self-tans. Compositions according to the invention dry quickly after application to an anhydrous state, resist transfer through incidental contact, and exhibit long-wear. Compositions according to the invention are easily removed when scrubbed with water above a certain temperature, but not as easily removed with water below that temperature.

The present disclosure relates to fragrance materials encapsulated within polymeric materials in the form of microcapsules of polymer encapsulated fragrance. The microcapsules are mixed with a water-based binding agent so that a coating forms on the microcapsule in situ, after which the coated microcapsules may be applied to hard surfaces of a product, from which controlled release of the fragrance is provided over time as the product is subjected to normal handling by a user.

A method of providing anti-frizz to hair, comprising the steps of: (i) applying a shampoo composition to the hair, wherein the composition comprises (a) from 0.05 wt % to 1.4 wt % a soluble zinc compound. (b) a cleansing surfactant selected from anionic surfactants and mixtures thereof. (c) from 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of a suspending agent, and (d) from 0.01 wt % to 5 wt % of a cationic deposition polymer; and; wherein the composition has a pH of from 3 to 5; and (ii) rinsing the composition from the hair.
