The present invention relates to a composition according to the present invention comprises: (a) at least one particle comprising at least one cationic polymer, at least one anionic polymer, and at least one hydrophilic or water-soluble UV filter; and (b) at least one physiologically acceptable volatile medium. The composition according to the present invention is stable, and can have a variety of cosmetic functions. For example, the composition according to the present invention can prepare a film which can have cosmetic effects such as UV filtering, as well as absorbing or adsorbing malodor, changing the appearance of a keratin substrate such as skin, changing the feel to the touch of the keratin substrate, and/or protecting the keratin substrate from, for example, dirt or pollutants.

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising at least one phosphate/acrylate copolymer, at least one cationic antibacterial agent, at least one synthetic anionic linear polycarboxylate polymer, at least one surfactant, and zinc lactate. Also disclosed herein are methods for the treatment and/or inhibition of gum disease or halitosis comprising contacting the oral cavity with the oral care compositions disclosed herein, as well as methods of making the oral care compositions disclose herein.

A hair care composition is provided imparting enhanced shine to hair comprising a) from about 0.1% to about 10.0% by weight of the composition of a non-volatile polysiloxane fluid; b) from about 0.02% to about 5.0% by weight of the composition of a surfactant mixture comprising a shining surfactant and a secondary surfactant, wherein the shining surfactant is a polyether siloxane copolymer; c) from about 0.003% to about 0.6% by weight of the composition of a rheology modifier comprising an acrylic acid/Vinyl ester copolymer; and d) a carrier suitable for the application to hair
wherein the composition is free of ethanol and the viscosity s less than 7 Pa*s. Further a method is provided comprising spraying the composition with a particle size in the range of from about 0.01 m to about 10 m, wherein the resulting film is in the range of from about 100 nm to about 500 nm after drying.

The present invention provides a preparation for attaching to teeth or tooth peripheries, which comprises a malleable oral composition and an active ingredient for intra-oral delivery. Further, the present invention provides a preparation for attaching to teeth or tooth peripheries, which comprises an oral composition in a hardening ointment-phase and an active ingredient for intra-oral delivery. The preparation of the present invention may give high adhesive force to the desired site in spite of gaps between teeth or curves of teeth. The preparation of the present invention having high adhesive force increases the time of adhesion to a target site in the oral cavity, and thus may be advantageous in achieving an intended effect.

This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising arginine, zinc citrate and zinc oxide, and an orally acceptable carrier, as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.

A transparent cosmetic or personal care composition comprising: a) a polymeric thickener, b) a protein, c) an active material, which is selected from disaccharides, lactones, inorganic salts, diacids and mixtures thereof, d) a solubilizer, e) a pH adjuster, f) a dye g) water wherein the solubilizer comprises a mixture of at least two components, said mixture comprising at least one high HLB component having an HLB value of from 10 to 20 and at least one low HLB component having an HLB value of from 1 to less than 10, and wherein the dye comprises violet, blue, red or mixtures thereof.

The instant disclosure relates to hair-treatment compositions. The hair-treatment compositions typically include: one or more polyurethane latex polymers; one or more thickening agents; one or more water-soluble solvents; and water. Additional components such as silicones, emulsifiers, surfactants, cationic polymers, etc., can also be included. The instant disclosure also relates to kits that include the hair-treatment compositions and to methods for treating hair with the hair-treatment compositions.

Sunscreen compositions, products and methods that include at least one UVA sunscreen active agent, at least one UVB sunscreen active agent, and one or more water insoluble film forming polymers. The compositions, products and methods may further include one or more active or inactive cosmetic ingredients. The water insoluble film forming polymers synergistically affect the UVA and UVB sunscreen active agents, in particularly the UVA sunscreen active agents by significantly enhancing the water resistance of the UVA sunscreen active agents after water exposure as determined by the SPF and UVAPF values measured before and after water exposure.

A method for forming a coated particle having a core particle that is fully coated by a dual-layer coating that includes an inner layer formed of a hydrophilic composition and an outer layer formed of a hydrophobic polymer. The core particles are added to a hydrophilic solution and mixed together. The hydrophobic polymer is then added to form a mixture. The mixture is sonicated to coat the particles and the coated particles are separated and dried to form meta-stable coated particles.

The present invention relates to benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising said particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. When employed in compositions, for example, cleaning or fabric care compositions, such particles increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, thereby allowing reduced amounts of benefit agents to be employed. In addition to allowing the amount of benefit agent to be reduced, such particles allow a broad range of benefit agents to be employed.
