Also disclosed are surfactant compositions comprising polyglycerol esters, the alkyl chain of which has from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and polyglycerols having 1 to 10 glycerol units.

Hair care compositions and methods for providing conditioning benefits to hair is disclosed. The hair care compositions may include one or more nonionic surfactants comprising one or more alkylpolyglucosides; one or more fatty alcohols; one or more fatty esters comprising caprylic/capric triglyceride; about 0.5 to about 30 wt. % of a fatty compound other than fatty alcohol and fatty ester; one or more silicones comprising polysilicone-11; one or more thickening agents; and water, wherein the hair care composition is an emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair care composition.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel transparent oil-based cosmetic product which, when decorating the transparent oil-based cosmetic product, enables decoration with a variety of designs using a cosmetic ingredient, and which also enables decoration in a simplified method using a printing technique or the like. The present invention pertains to an oil-based solid cosmetic product which has a transparent oil-based base (A) and at least one decorative layer (B), and which is characterized in that: the transparent oil-based base (A) contains a thickener (a1) and a liquid oil (a2); the decorative layer (B) contains a powder component (b1); and the powder component (b1) contains at least one type of powder that has a higher refractive index than that of the liquid oil (a2).

A method is provided to treat a subject in need of treatment for erythema, including facial erythema from any one of acne, rosacea, photoaging, heat/burns, heat from laser treatments, and/or injury scars that are in a red stage. The method includes topically administering to the subject in need thereof a composition having a therapeutically effective amount of lapachol and one or more acceptable excipients. The therapeutically effective amount correlates to the composition having approximately to 0.25% of lapachol by volume, and the administration of the composition being an application to an area affected by erythema twice per day.

Oral care compositions including peroxide, alumina, and optionally water. Dentifrice compositions including peroxide, alumina, and optionally water. Dentifrice compositions including peroxide, calcined alumina, and optionally water. Dentifrice compositions including peroxide, calcined alumina, uncalcined alumina, and optionally water. Methods of use to whiten teeth using one or more of the disclosed compositions.
