Embodiments described herein relate generally to apparatus, methods and systems for low energy processing of consumer personal hygiene products (PHPs) and formulations of the same. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a consumer PHP comprises combining a first material and second material at room temperature to form a first mixture, mixing the first mixture at room temperature, adding a third material at room temperature to form a second mixture; mixing the second mixture at room temperature, adding a fourth material at room temperature to form a third mixture; and mixing the third mixture at room temperature. In some embodiments, the third material and the fourth material can be mixed to form the second mixture and the first mixture and second mixture can be combined to form the third mixture. In some embodiments, the mixing can be accomplished using a propeller mixer. In some embodiments, the propeller mixer can be rotated at a speed of greater than about 200 rpm during at least one of the mixing steps. In some embodiments, the pH of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 4.5 and about 6.5 using an acidifier. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 100 cP and about 25,000 cP using a thickener.

A wet wipe with a substrate having cellulosic fibers and a lotion is provided. The lotion may have between about 96.0% and about 99.5%, by weight of the lotion, of water. The lotion may have a preservative system having benzoic acid and/or a salt thereof, succinic acid and/or a salt thereof, and phytic acid and/or a salt thereof. The lotion may also have a surfactant, pH buffering system, and a pH of about 3.5 to about 5.

Compositions for topical application that effectively deliver antioxidants across the epidermis, dermis, or a combination thereof into cells and/or the bloodstream while concurrently maintaining chemical activity of the antioxidants. In certain aspects, these formulations include emulsions and balms each having a lipophilic carrier and a lipophilic antioxidant solubilized by the lipophilic carrier. Also disclosed herein are methods for making these compositions for topical application.

Methods, systems, and devices for integrated photo-responsive contouring treatment are described. Methods include identifying a region of skin corresponding to a contouring treatment of the skin. The region of skin may be provided with a photo-responsive material overlying a portion of the region of the skin. Methods may include identifying one or more treatment regions overlapping the photo-responsive material. The treatment regions may be identified at least in part to apply the contouring treatment. Methods may include determining an irradiation profile for each of the one or more treatment regions to contour each respective treatment region as part of applying the contouring treatment. Methods may also include irradiating the photo-responsive material at the one or more treatment regions in accordance with the respective irradiation profiles. Irradiating the photo-responsive material may induce a localized change in shape of the photo-responsive material in the respective treatment regions.

Provided is a sulfate-free surfactant system which is particularly suitable for use in personal hygiene products. The sulfate-free surfactant system comprises a liquid comprising an organic phase and a solvent wherein the organic phase comprises glyceride and surfactant and the liquid comprises: 4-40 wt % glyceride wherein the glyceride is the condensation reaction product of at least 1.10 moles of a mixture of acids to no more than 2.1 moles of mixture of acids per mole of glycerin; wherein mixture of acids comprises: at least 0.275 to no more than 0.990 moles of a first acid comprising a branched acid with 16-20 aliphatic carbons; at least 0.250 to no more than 0.810 moles of a second acid comprising an alkyl acid with 9-11 carbons; and at least 0.250 to no more than 0.810 moles of a third acid comprising an alkyl acid with 7-9 carbons wherein the third acid has a lower molecular weight than the second acid; and 6-45 wt % surfactant; and wherein the liquid has a BYV of at least 50 dyn/cm.sup.2.

A composition for brightening or whitening keratin materials in the form of an emulsion, comprises an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, and comprises: i)from 2.0 wt. % to 10.0 wt% of at least one white particles, relative the total weight of the composition; ii) at least one anionic terpolymer as a thickener; and iii) an emulsifier system including: a)at least one alkyl phosphate salt; b)at least one polyoxyethylene oxide C12-C24 fatty acid ester; and c)at least one glyceryl C12-C24 fatty acid ester. A cosmetic process for brightening or whitening keratin materials, in particular human skin, comprises applying the composition as defined above to the keratin materials.

Suggested is an antimicrobial mixture comprising or consisting of (a) at least one monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol, (b) at least one active selected from the group consisting of 4-hydroxyacetophenone, sorbitan caprylate, cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, glyceryl caprylate and glyceryl caprate, and optionally (c) at least one additional antimicrobial agent different from components (a) and (b).

The present invention relates to novel cosmetic emulsions, comprising 1,2-decanediol, advantageous uses thereof and methods for their production.
