A mild cleansing composition nearly saturated, saturated, or supersaturated with at least one active ingredient includes one or more surfactants and one or more active ingredients. The mild cleansing composition can be used to clean the skin and improve skin texture (e.g., the degree of radiance and wrinkles) at the same time.

A disinfecting composition may contain 0.001 to 5 mass % of an MPC copolymer containing a constituent unit based on 2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine, 5 to 90 mass % of a lower alcohol, and 0.01 to 10 mass % of an aliphatic acid ester-based nonionic surfactant. The MPC copolymer may include one or more copolymer selected from of an MPC copolymer a having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 400,000 and an MPC copolymer b having a weight average molecular weight of 800,000 to 1,800,000. Such a disinfecting composition may be excellent in foam sustainability when it is discharged as a foam and that has moist feeling when it is applied.

Polymer combinations may be incorporated in a hydroalcoholic solution to improve fragrance longevity. The polymer combination may include at least one plant-based hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic polymer, a third cosmetically acceptable sensory polymer, and a fragrance oil in hydroalcoholic solution having prolonged fragrance intensity. The tri-polymer combination may synergistically create a film mesh on the surface of the skin that locks in the fragrance ingredients. The combination may provide an unexpected film forming property with the fragrance oil in hydroalcoholic solution, thereby providing a thin film matrix and adhesive power for the fragrance ingredients to attach/remain on the skin.

An emulsion composition, a cosmetic composition, and a method for preparing an emulsion composition, in which the oil components are not limited to vegetable oils, and which do not require xanthan gum or welan gum as an essential component. The emulsion composition contains an oil component, an aqueous dispersion medium, an emulsifier, and CNF. The CNF is an emulsion stabilizer, and obtained by unmodified cellulose defibration, and the emulsifier amount is less than 20 mass % of the total composition. The cosmetic composition contains the emulsion composition. The method includes preparing an oil phase, preparing an aqueous phase, and emulsifying by mixing the oil and aqueous phases. CNF obtained by defibrating unmodified cellulose is added in at least preparing an aqueous phase or emulsifying, and an emulsifier is added in at least preparing an oil phase, preparing an aqueous phase, or emulsifying.

A method for treating skin of a person is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to the skin of the person a composition comprising an effective amount of an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic extract from Vinca major, wherein the composition reduces melanin production in the skin, increases antioxidant activity in the skin, and/or increases skin moisture content.

The invention relates to transparent, stable, film-forming oil-in-water microemulsions, and the use of the microemulsions in leave-on products or wash-off products of hair care application. The microemulsions contain an aminoalkyl-functional organopolysiloxane, a silicone resin, optionally a low viscosity oil, and a surfactant composition, are storage stable, and form coherent crosslinked films upon drying.
