The present disclosure provides personal care compositions comprising a surfactant system that includes an anionic surfactant, a zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and optionally a non-ionic surfactant; a preservative system; a pH modifier; optionally a moisturizer or a skin conditioner or both a moisturizer and a skin conditioner; and a viscosity adjusting system, wherein the viscosity adjusting system comprises glyceryl oleate and at least one additional viscosity adjusting agent. Use of the viscosity adjusting system can achieve viscosity levels that would otherwise not be possible by either agent alone, and allows for higher maximum viscosity levels while at the same time providing an emolliency to the formulation.

The present invention discloses a multifunctional temperature self-regulating multilayer film, from outside to inside comprising at least: a carrier layer (1) loaded with functional material, and a thermal-insulation layer (2) directly contacted with the skin (4); wherein the carrier layer (1) loaded with functional material has a sealed cavity sealed with a flexible water-impermeable material, the sealed cavity is at least loaded with a refrigerating or heat-generating chemical material (11); wherein thermal-insulation layer (2) is made of a material having waterproof and thermal-insulation properties. The present multilayer film can be manufactured into a face mask or eye mask for use on facial skin.

Resin particles include mother particles containing a biodegradable resin, and a coating layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a quaternary ammonium salt-containing polymer, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polylysine on a surface of the mother particles.

Skin tightening compositions for application to the skin for providing an instantaneous and dramatic improvement to the appearance of skin. The skin tightening compositions typically include about 5 to about 45 wt. % or more of one or more hydrophobic film-forming polymers comprising acrylates/stearyl methacrylate copolymer; about 0.5 to about 20 wt. % of a mineral thickening agent; about 1 to about 15 wt. % of a silicone elastomer; and about 30 to about 85 wt. % of a volatile hydrocarbon oil, wherein all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the skin tightening composition. Additionally, the skin tightening composition may have a weight ratio of the total amount of hydrophobic film-forming polymers to the total amount of mineral thickening agent is 1:1 to 10:1 and a weight ratio of the total amount of silicone elastomer to the total amount of mineral thickening agent is 1:2 to 8:1.

Diminishing gel compositions are disclosed and described. A diminishing gel composition can include a polymer matrix, a gel-diminishing agent, and a releasable active agent, such as an olfactory agent. The gel-diminishing agent can facilitate a visually noticeable or detectible gradual decrease in volume of the gel composition while in use. The releasable active agent can be released from the gel composition at a rate and amount that is sufficient to produce a desired result, such as an effective olfactory event.
