Conjugates comprising at least two active agents linked by a diglycolic acid or polyglycol diacid linker are disclosed. The invention also concerns oligomers and polymers of these conjugates and their use in therapeutic and industrial applications for localized, immediate or fast release delivery of an active agent, such as an anti-microbial, anti-infective, or antiseptic agent.

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.

The invention relates to a cosmetic process for caring for or making up keratin materials, comprising either the topical application to the keratin materials of an (extemporaneous) anhydrous mixture of a cosmetic composition comprising a maleic anhydride acrylic polymer and of an amino alkoxysilane compound (I); or the sequential application to the keratin materials of an anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising a maleic anhydride acrylic polymer and of an amino alkoxysilane compound (I), wherein said maleic anhydride acrylic polymer is obtained by polymerization of:

(a) 50% to 90% by weight, relative to the total weight of monomers, of isobornyl (meth)acrylate
(b) 1% to 50% by weight of maleic anhydride
(c) 0% to 49% by weight of additional (meth)acrylate monomer;
said amino alkoxysilane having the formula (I):

RNHR.sub.1Si(OR.sub.2).sub.z(R.sub.3).sub.x(I)

in which:
R.sub.1 is a C.sub.1-C.sub.20 hydrocarbon-based divalent group,
R=H or a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group,
R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 represent an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
z denotes an integer ranging from 1 to 3, and
x denotes an integer ranging from 0 to 2,
with z+x=3.

The present invention concerns a composition containing at least one fatty phase and at least one copolymer obtained by polymerization of 0% to 99% by weight, relative to the total weight of the monomers of at least one monomer (A) chosen from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, isobornyl acrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, and mixtures thereof, 1% to 20% by weight of at least one monomer (B) of formula (I), and 0% to 99% by weight of at least one monomer (C) chosen from C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl acrylates, C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl methacrylates, silicone macromonomers and mixtures thereof, relative to the total weight of the monomers,

The present invention provides a polymer compound peeling agent usable for peeling as many types of polymer compounds as possible and capable of reducing a burden required for a peeling treatment when a polymer compound having adhered to an adhesion object is peeled. The polymer compound peeling agent for peeling a polymer compound having adhered to an adhesion object contains a photoresponsive liquid crystal material having a phase structure reversibly transitioning between an isotropic phase and a liquid crystal phase due to photoisomerization based on irradiation lights of different wavelengths. When the polymer compound is adhered to the adhesion object, the photoresponsive liquid crystal material is contained in the polymer compound with the phase structure set to the isotropic phase, and the phase structure of the photoresponsive liquid crystal material is allowed to transition from the isotropic phase to the liquid crystal phase by photoisomerization based on the light irradiation.

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions that provide immediate skin-tightening and long-lasting improvements to the skin for the treatment of, for example, eye bags, facial wrinkles, and other age-related skin imperfections. The compositions comprise: (a) a first film former potassium silicate; (b) at least one second film former; (c) at least one polyvalent silicate thickener; (d) at least one anionic associative polymeric thickener; (e) at least one plasticizer; and (f) optionally at least one cosmetic powder.

Provided is an active energy ray curable resin which has excellent compatibility with organic solvents, general purpose acrylic monomers, and oligomers, and a high curing property with an active energy ray, and also has a high adhesion property for each substrate. A cured film obtained by ultraviolet curing of the active energy ray curable resin has an excellent surface curing property, scratch resistance and bending resistance, while also having high transparency. Provided is a urethane modified (meth)acrylamide compound having a urethane bond and one or more (meth)acrylamide groups in the molecule. The urethane modified (meth)acrylamide compound has excellent compatibility with organic solvents, general purpose acrylic monomers, and oligomers, and exhibits a high curing property with an active energy ray. Also provided is an active energy ray curable resin which is obtained with the urethane modified (meth)acrylamide compound and has an excellent surface curing property, scratch resistance, and bending resistance.

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.

Oral care compositions containing a stannous salt and sodium tripolyphosphate are provided where stannous tripolyphosphate ionic intermediates comprise less than about 1% of the compositions. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, a methylvinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer and/or a silica oral polishing agent may be added for further efficacy. In a single phase blend, the oral care composition may be effectively limited to comprise less than about 10% water. In a dual-phase blend, a mixture having the stannous salt in a first phase and the sodium tripolyphosphate in a second phase may be generated from a dual chamber storage tube (with each phase provided from a separate chamber) immediately prior to dental care usage.

The present application relates to perfume raw materials, perfume delivery systems and consumer products comprising such perfume raw materials and/or such perfume delivery systems, as well as processes for making and using such perfume raw materials, perfume delivery systems and consumer products. Such perfume raw materials and compositions, including the delivery systems, disclosed herein expand the perfume communities' options as such perfume raw materials can provide variations on character and such compositions can provide desired odor profiles.
