Hair care compositions and methods for providing conditioning benefits to hair is disclosed. The hair care compositions may include one or more nonionic surfactants comprising one or more alkylpolyglucosides; one or more fatty alcohols; one or more fatty esters comprising caprylic/capric triglyceride; about 0.5 to about 30 wt. % of a fatty compound other than fatty alcohol and fatty ester; one or more silicones comprising polysilicone-11; one or more thickening agents; and water, wherein the hair care composition is an emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair care composition.

The present specification discloses compositions comprising one or more encapsulates comprising one or more agents and methods and uses for the disclosed agents. A composition disclosed herein can be incorporated into a body wash, an after shower body lotion, a shampoo, a conditioner, a soap, a gel, a hand sanitizer, a cream, a spray, a mouse, a lotion, an ointment, a make-up product, a lip balm, a hair spray product, an arachnid/insect repellent or a medicinal product.

A reloadable microcapsule contains a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains a hydrophobic core solvent and a hydrophilic core solvent, and the microcapsule wall, formed of an encapsulating polymer, is permeable to the hydrophilic core solvent. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the reloadable microcapsule and consumer products having the microcapsules.

The present invention is intended to provide an oily makeup cosmetic that is colorless in appearance but develops a color on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips. The present invention provides a colorless oily makeup cosmetic comprising (a) one or two dyes selected from Red No. 218 and Red No. 223, and (b) an oil agent, and a mixture of the component (a) and the component (b) at a mass ratio (a):(b) of 0.1:100 has a difference of 0.2 or less between the maximum absorbance and the minimum absorbance in a wavelength region of 500 to 600 nm. The oily makeup cosmetic may develop a color due to the component (a) on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips.

A deodorant stick comprising at least 25% by weight liquid triglyceride; a primary antimicrobial having a water solubility of at most about 90 g/L at 25° C.; a fragrance composition comprising at least about 50% natural oils, essential oils, or a combination thereof; and a primary structurant with a melting point of at least 50° C.; said deodorant stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said deodorant stick having a hardness from about 70 mm*10 to about 140 mm*10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

The invention relates to compositions comprising certain sorbitan carboxylic esters and glycerol carboxylic esters in particular amounts.

Disclosed is a composition including, per 100% of its mass: a) 60.0% to 75.0% by mass of an organic solvent (OS.sub.1) chosen from 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, or a mixture of these compounds; b) 0.1% to 2.0% by mass of a composition (ES) including an amount by mass x.sub.1, expressed as mass equivalent of 1-O-(2-caffeoyl)maloyl-3,5-di-O-catfeoylquinic acid, of greater than or equal to 200 mg/g of a compound of general formula (I):

##STR00001##

in which Q.sub.1, Q.sub.2, Q.sub.3, Q.sub.4 and Q.sub.5 represent, independently of each other, a hydroxyl radical or a salt thereof or a radical chosen from caffeoyl, maloyl, caffeoyl maloyl and maloyl caffeoyl radicals, it being understood that at least one of these radicals Q.sub.1, Q.sub.2, Q.sub.3, Q.sub.4 and Q.sub.5 represents neither the —OH radical nor a salt thereof; and c) 20.0% to 35.0% by mass of water. Related treatments are also disclosed.

The present invention is in the field of emulsifiers and provides novel emulsifier mixtures for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations or in detergents. The emulsifier mixtures according to the invention comprise a citrate ester mixture and at least one 1,2-alkanediol, 1,3-alkanediol, 1,4-alkanediol and/or 1,5-alkanediol and are characterized by increased stability and low precipitation over a wide temperature range and during a long storage period.

The present invention is directed at hair care formulations comprising at least one non-ionic compound containing at least one terminal estolide moiety, at non-ionic compounds containing at least one terminal estolide moiety, the use of non-ionic compounds containing at least one terminal estolide moiety in cosmetic formulations for skin and/or hair care, the use of non-ionic compounds containing at least one terminal estolide moiety for the treatment of fibers, and at compositions containing at least one such compound for the treatment of hair.

The present invention relates to a self-emulsifiable composition including a monoacyl phospholipid, a diacyl phospholipid, oils and fats, and a polyhydric alcohol, in which the content ratio between the monoacyl phospholipid and the diacyl phospholipid is in the range of monoacyl phospholipid:diacyl phospholipid=1:9 to 9:1 as a mass ratio.
