The present invention relates to a cosmetic-supporting structure, including a reticulated porous foam and a silicone coating layer, serving as an outer frame, on an outer surface of the foam, serving as an inner frame, a method of manufacturing the same, and a cosmetic product containing the same.

A colored metallic pigment according to the present invention is a colored metallic pigment including at least a metallic pigment, an amorphous silicon oxide film layer formed on a surface of the metallic pigment, a metallic-particle-supporting layer formed on a surface of the amorphous silicon oxide film layer, and metallic particles formed on a surface of the metallic-particle-supporting layer, characterized in that the metallic-particle-supporting layer is formed of one or both of a metal layer and a metal oxide layer composed of a metal oxide other than silicon oxide, the metallic particles are formed to directly cover a part of the surface of the metallic-particle-supporting layer, and the amorphous silicon oxide film layer has a thickness of more than 500 nm.

The present invention relates to a composition, in particular comprising a physiologically acceptable medium, in particular for coating keratin materials, more particularly for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, comprising: a) at least one soft-focus filler, and b) at least one composite pigment comprising at least one non-spherical aluminium oxide, at least one metal oxide and at least one surface-treatment agent. According to another subject of the invention, the present invention relates more particularly to a composition as previously defined, in emulsion form. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising: a) at least one soft-focus filler, other than boron nitride and b) at least one composite pigment comprising at least one non-spherical aluminium oxide, at least one metal oxide and at least one surface-treatment agent, and c) boron nitride particles. The invention also relates to a process for coating keratin materials, more particularly for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, such as the skin, characterized in that it comprises the application to the keratin materials of a composition as previously defined.

The present invention provides an interference pigment that develops interference colors even on light-colored bases. An interference pigment 1 of the present invention includes: a flaky inorganic substrate 10; a transparent metal layer 20 that coats the inorganic substrate 10; and a metal oxide layer 30 that coats the metal layer 20.

The present invention relates to pigments, comprising a plate-like substrate of perlite, and (a) a dielectric material, especially a metal oxide, having a high index of refraction; and/or (a) a metal layer, especially a thin semi-transparent metal layer; a process for their production and their use in paints, ink jet printing, for dyeing textiles, for pigmenting coatings (paints), printing inks, plastics, cosmetics, glazes for ceramics and glass.

The present invention provides: a colloid having a self-iontophoresis capacity, comprising elastomer microparticles and a piezoelectric layer encompassing the same; a preparation method therefor; and a cosmetic composition containing the same.

According to the present invention, iontophoresis occurs by itself without the help of additional instruments, thereby allowing water-soluble active ingredients in a cosmetic composition to be effectively and transdermally delivered and absorbed.

A solid cosmetic composition includes (i) an inner core having (a) soft vegetable butter, vegetable oil or a mixture thereof, present in an amount of at least 50 wt. % based on the inner core; (b) an emulsifier; and (c) a colouring; (ii) an outer layer comprising (a) hard vegetable butter in an amount of at least 50 wt. % based on the outer layer, and (b) a colouring.

A delivery system includes a first layer which includes at least one of positively-charged particles and positively-charged molecules. A second layer is in contact with the first layer. The second layer includes at least one of negatively-charged particles and negatively-charged molecules. At least one of the first and second layers includes an active agent, such as an oral care agent. The active agent is incorporated in the positively-charged particles and/or negatively-charged particles of the respective layer.

A composition comprising a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier is disclosed. The film or plurality of film fragments can comprise a functional material. The film or plurality of film fragments can comprise repeated shapes. Also disclosed is a composition comprising a plurality of discernable lamellar fragments entrained in a carrier. Also disclosed is a method for administering a functional material to a human or animal subject in need thereof, the method comprising applying to the subject a composition comprising a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier, wherein the film comprises the functional material.

Disclosed is a rinse-off personal care composition comprising: (a) a microcapsule comprising an intercalated layered particle having an interlayer distance of 1 to 10 nm and an active inside of the particle; and (b) an anionic surfactant, wherein the active is selected from natural essential oil, pro-fragrance, fragrance, mosquito repellence active, anti-dandruff active or a mixture thereof.
