The invention relates to compositions comprising glycolipids and benzoic acid and/or sorbic acid.

This invention relates to solid oral care compositions, for example a tablet, comprising a comprising a sugar alcohol and a lubricant. In certain aspects the invention is directed to solid oral care compositions that are tablets that comprise a lubricant, wherein the lubricant comprises a poloxamer, as well as methods of use and related kits.

A cosmetic composition for treating acne includes at least one acne treatment active, for example, salicylic acid or a derivative thereof, which may present in an amount that is greater than 1%, by weight, based on the weight of the sulfate-free cleansing composition, and an aqueous carrier that includes at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of sarcosinates, betaines, and combinations thereof, at least one solubilizer comprising a polyethylene glycol compound, and water. When the sulfate-free cleansing composition is applied to a keratinous tissue it demonstrates deposition and retention of the beta hydroxy acid on the keratinous tissue after rinsing with water.

Disclosed is a premix comprising piroctone olamine, a co-solvent selected from sodium salicylate, sodium benzoate, para aminsobenzoic, sodium xylene sulfonate, iso-octanol, hexanediol, phenoxyethanol, carbamide, acetamide, carbamate and mixtures thereof, and water, wherein the weight ratio of co-solvent to water ranges from 1:20 to 1:1. Hair care compositions comprising the premix and methods of preparing the premix and the hair care compositions.

Various embodiments provide an antimicrobial composition comprising: a safe and effective amount of benzoic acid analog or analogs; a safe and effective amount of a buffer system of weak organic acids buffer with the negative log of the acid dissociation constant, pKa, between about 3.2 and 4.9; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the benzoic acid analogs and weak organic acid buffers, wherein the antimicrobial composition has a pH from about 3.2 to 4.9. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial composition comprises a safe and effective amount of an antimicrobial metal ion salt, a preferred salt being copper gluconate, at a level and pH that does not precipitate with the weak acid buffers.

A skin cleansing device has a base body and a removable cleansing head. The base body houses a vacuum pump and has a mount for connecting to the removable cleansing head. The mount has an opening into the base body and a support surface. The removable cleansing head has a collection portion and a mounting portion. The collection portion defines an inlet and an internal cavity. The mounting portion has a stem defining a channel fluidly connected to the internal cavity. The cleansing head is removably connectable to the base body with the stem being configured to be received in the opening of the mount. The vacuum pump is configured to generate a fluid flow through the internal cavity and the channel into the base body such that a suction force is generated at the inlet.
