Provided are: a hydrophilized organic powder that is obtained by a hydrophilization treatment of a hydrophobic organic powder and has favorable properties; and a cosmetic that includes the hydrophilized organic powder. A hydrophilized organic powder that has a hydrophilizing-coat of polyoxyethylene (10) isostearyl ether on a hydrophobic organic powder is provided. Further, a cosmetic that includes the hydrophilized organic powder is provided. The hydrophobic organic powder is preferably an organic resin powder or a metallic soap powder, or a combination thereof.

To improve a fresh sense of use, an excellent feeling of use of hydrophobic powder, color development, transparency, ultraviolet shielding ability, and the like. In production of a cosmetic containing, respectively, 1 wt % or more of water and hydrophobic powder, (A) hydrophilic nonionic surfactant as monoether compound of branched higher alcohol having 12 to 20 carbons and polyoxyethylene group and (B) water are mixed, and then mixed with (C) hydrophobic powder.

A personal care composition comprises a personal care adjunct ingredient, an anti-dandruff agent, and cationic co-polymer disposed on an outer surface of the anti-dandruff agent. The cationic co-polymer has a viscosity of at least 0.09 poise and comprises monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylamide (“AAM”), dimethyl acrylamide (“DMAA”), acrylamidopropyl trimethylamonium chloride (“APTAC”), methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride (“MAPTAC”), and combinations thereof.

A stencil or stamp applicator is used for applying a skin-tightening composition onto skin surfaces. The composition applied with a stencil or stamp results in a discontinuous film made up of sections of about 20 to 150 microns. The discontinuity of the film results in more comfort and a more natural look of facial movement while still retaining a good skin-tightening effect.

The disclosure provides a peptide microparticle structure that can easily penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin. The peptide microparticle structure is composed, from inside to outside, of a main core, a first lipid layer, an active ingredient layer, and a second lipid layer. The main core is disposed at the center of the peptide microparticle structure, and the outer part of the main core is completely covered by the first lipid layer. The outermost layer of the peptide microparticle structure is the second lipid layer, and between the first lipid layer and the second lipid layer is the active ingredient layer.

Nanocapsules that form emulsion particles and an emulsion composition including the nanocapsules are disclosed. The emulsion composition contains an aqueous phase; an oil phase; and emulsion particles surrounded by a plurality of non-amphiphilic nanocapsules located in the interface between the aqueous phase and the oil phase. The emulsion composition is capable of forming emulsion particles in an oil-in-water-type emulsion composition, without using a surfactant.

Disclosed herein is a Janus particle comprising: a core inorganic photocatalytic particle having a surface with a first region and a second region and an average diameter of from 50 nm to 10 nm; and a low surface energy organic coating that is susceptible to photo-degradation, which coating is covalently bound to the surface of the core inorganic photocatalytic particle where present. Also disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing said particle.

It relates to a food-grade coated particle comprising: a) a core that comprises a (C.sub.4-C.sub.12)polycarboxylic acid; and b) a coating that comprises: (i) an alkali metal salt of a (C.sub.4-C.sub.12)polycarboxylic acid wherein at least one carboxylic group of the (C.sub.4-C.sub.12)poly-carboxylic acid is in the acid form, and at least one carboxylic group of the (C.sub.4-C.sub.12)polycarboxylic acid is in the salt form, and (ii) a film-forming agent; wherein the weight ratio between (i) and (ii) is from 20:80 to 40:60. It also relates to processes for the preparation of these food-grade coated particles, to their use as food additives, as well as to foodstuffs comprising them.

Microcapsules encapsulating a reflective agent are provided herein. The microcapsules are comprised of an inner core, which comprises the reflective agent and optionally an oily substance, and an outer shell formed of wall-forming polymeric materials. The microcapsules may further comprise an opaque substance and/or a fatty acyl salt in the outer shell. Processes of preparing the microcapsules are also provided.

Disclosed is a method of preparing a product composition comprising steps of: Preparing a mixture composition comprising a surfactant and a high melting point fatty compound and benefit agent; Separately preparing an aqueous base composition comprising a surfactant, a high melting point fatty compound, and an aqueous carrier and wherein the aqueous base composition is substantially free of detersive surfactant; Mixing the mixture composition and the aqueous base composition to form a discrete particle of the mixture composition dispersed in the aqueous base composition. Alternatively, the method comprises steps of preparing a discrete particle of the mixture composition; and mixing it with the aqueous composition. The methods of the present invention provide a product composition with at least one the followings: more flexibility in the product composition rheology; improved stability in the product composition; improved deposition of benefit agents; and improved visual/aesthetic appearance.
