A robust sunscreen composition is disclosed herein comprising a water soluble polymer and a water insoluble film former providing a synergistic effect in SPF retention and critical wavelength after immersion in water, salt water, and chlorinated water. The water soluble polymer comprises poloxamer 338 (and) PPG-12/SMDI copolymer, poloxamer 407 (and) PPG-12/SMDI copolymer, or a combination thereof.

The present invention provides a microcapsule encompassing water or a water-soluble compound and having excellent leakage resistance and morphological stability. Further, the present invention provides a method for producing the microcapsule.

The microcapsule of the present invention is a microcapsule encompassing at least one of water or a water-soluble compound, in which a capsule wall of the microcapsule contains a resin having a repeating unit derived from a hydrophobic monomer having a ClogP value of 0.70 or more and a repeating unit derived from a hydrophilic monomer having a ClogP value of less than 0.70, and the microcapsule satisfies a relationship of Expression (1).

[00001]$\begin{array}{cc}\delta /\mathrm{Dm}\le 0.40& \mathrm{Expression}\left(1\right)\end{array}$

δ represents a number average wall thickness (μm) of the microcapsule. Dm represents a volume-based median diameter (μm) of the microcapsule.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic system comprising an applicator and a gel composition, and methods for making-up and enhancing the appearance of keratinous materials using the systems.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic system comprising an applicator and a gel composition, and methods for making-up and enhancing the appearance of keratinous materials using the systems.

The present invention relates to an electrostatically sprayable cosmetic formulation having a sufficient sun protection factor, water resistance and caring effect, and which provides a sufficient, i.e. nearly full, coverage of the skin surface, when the formulation is applied on the surface of the skin by electrostatic spraying.

A liquid antimicrobial composition is provided for use in the disinfection of the skin of a human or an animal, in particular where disinfection of a drug resistant organism is required. The composition comprises a cationic, cell membrane-disrupting biocide and a cationic dendrimer capable of inhibiting an efflux pump mechanism of said cell membrane. The cationic, cell membrane-disrupting biocide is preferably any or a combination of chlorhexidine, a polymeric biguanide, octenidine dihydrochloride and a quaternary ammonium compound. The dendrimer is provided to bind and disrupt the cell membranes of microorganisms in order to inhibit or destroy the cell's efflux pump mechanism thereby preventing microorganism strains resistant to the cationic membrane-disrupting biocide from becoming prevalent, particularly if the biocide comprises chlorhexidine. The dendrimer is preferably a G-0 to G-3 dendrimer comprising any or a combination of quaternary ammonium functionalised poly(propylene imine), polylysine, dendrimers with surface groups based on a sugar and polyamide amine (PAMAM) dendrimers. The composition is preferably in the form of an aqueous or aqueous alcohol solution, dispersion or emulsion that may have been adsorbed by a wipe.
