A skin cleansing agent containing the following components (A), (B), and (C): a particle (A) including (A1), (A2), and (A3), (A1) a water-holding oil agent in an amount of from 0.0001 to 13 mass % in the skin cleansing agent, (A2) a moisturizing agent in an amount of from 0.001 to 25 mass % in the skin cleansing agent, and (A3) a polymer; a surfactant (B); and water (C).

The present invention is related to the field of liquid disinfectant formulas, specifically with obtaining disinfectant compositions applicable to hard and smooth surfaces, porous surfaces and for human use; particularly with disinfectant compositions that allow the surface or surfaces where it is applied, a disinfection with a prolonged effect, for periods greater than 24 hours. More particularly with the use of long-lasting disinfectant compounds, some of them approved by international agencies such as the EPA, and which are also approved by the FDA for cosmetic use due to their low or null toxicity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the formulation of said compositions.

A hair-colouring composition comprising an estolide ester derived from ricinoleic acid and direct dyes.

The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an antiperspirant composition free from aluminium and/or zirconium salt comprising an oil in water emulsion comprises oil phase and a nonionic emulsifier, has an HLB value of 10 or lower and a melting point higher than 37° C.; wherein said composition comprises at least 4 wt % of said nonionic emulsifier; wherein said oil phase comprises a lipophilic material having a melting point greater than 37° C.

Disclosed are hair care compositions, such as shampoos, conditioners and leave on treatments, containing one or more hydroxylated triglyceride oligomers. Also disclosed are methods of using the hair care compositions.

Drug delivery systems and wearable articles including the drug delivery systems are provided. The drug delivery systems may include a substrate coated with at least one polymer and at least one active compound. The substrate is operable to include yarns, yarn precursors, threads, filaments, fibers, and/or other suitable substrates. Methods for manufacturing drug delivery systems are also provided. The methods are operable to include disposing a solution including a monomer and an active compound on the substrate. The methods are also operable to include exposing the solution and the substrate to UV light to initiate polymerization of the solution.

A purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic having a fresh feeling in use like that of a skin-care cosmetic such as a milky lotion, while also allowing titanium oxide or zinc oxide, which are ultraviolet scattering agents, to be stably blended into the oil phase, and also providing excellent sunscreen effects. The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic characterized by comprising (A) an ultraviolet scattering agent having a hydrophobic surface; (B) a water-soluble alkyl-substituted polysaccharide derivative; (C) a higher alcohol; and (D) a non-ionic surfactant. The emulsion cosmetic of the present invention preferably has a viscosity, measured by a B-type viscometer at 30° C., of 12,000 mPa.Math.s or lower.

An oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic containing (A) to (E) as essential components and having a pH of 6 or less: (A) an L-ascorbyl tetra fatty acid ester derivative represented by the following general formula (I) Formula 1 ##STR00001## wherein R represents a branched alkyl fatty acid residue having 8 to 18 carbons; (B) a polar oil which is liquid at 25° C. and having an IOB value of 0.1 to 0.5; (C) a chelating agent; (D) an antioxidant; and (E) water.

The present invention relates to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic and, specifically, to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic containing: an oily portion; and a water-releasing ingredient that is spread out in the oily portion, wherein the water-releasing ingredient has water particles encompassed by a plurality of plate-shaped materials to which emulsifiers are bound. According to the present invention, provided is a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic, which can provide a moist and cool feeling by directly supplying a large quantity of water, has excellent dosage form stability by having a hardness suitable for stick cosmetics, and simultaneously has excellent application texture, excellent storage stability and excellent color tone.

The present invention relates to dermocosmetic formulations for use in combating skin aging, especially photoaging. The present invention promotes the increase of the synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (GAG), in addition to significantly increase the activity of the superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) and the cell proliferation.
