This invention is a novel method of manufacture for hand-sanitizing lotions that retains the added benefits of prolonged effectiveness while avoiding demulsification as well as the resulting product. The invention presents a novel, more simplified process comprising a lower cooking temperature and an optimized ingredient addition protocol, designed for product stability and ingredient integrity.

This water-in-oil emulsion-type stick-shaped deodorant composition contains: (A) a volatile component having a boiling point of 250° C. or less, where the total amount of water and ethanol in the (A) component is 83-100 mass %; (B) component (B-1), component (B-2), or a combination of components (B-1) and (B-2), wherein component (B-1) is an antiperspirant and component (B-2) is a fungicide; (C) a crosslinked silicone surfactant; (D) a non-crosslinked silicone surfactant; and (E) an oily component which has a solid phase at 25° C.

Hair treatment compositions and methods of using them to treat hair are described. The hair treatment compositions include: (a) citric acid, one or more salts of citric acid, or a combination thereof; or a combination of citric acid and one or more salts of citric acid, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid to salts of citric acid added to form the combination is from 1:10 to 10:1; (b) one or more surfactants; and (c) water; wherein the pH of the composition is from about 3 to about 10; and weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition. The hair treatment compositions are particularly useful for strengthening hair fibers.

A dermal skin protectant and carrier comprising a combination of two different viscosity dimethicone components, wherein the difference between the two different viscosity dimethicone components is about 2.0 million cP or greater; and comprising at least one active ingredient.

Disclosed are stable microcapsule compositions each containing a microcapsule dispersed in an aqueous phase and a stabilizing agent. The microcapsule compositions are stable for at least 4 weeks when storing at 45° C., and the microcapsule composition is considered stable when (i) the composition has a viscosity of 3000 cP or less and (ii) 20% or less water by volume of the composition is separated from the composition. Also disclosed are consumer products having such a stable microcapsule composition.

A hair cosmetic containing (A) a specified quaternary ammonium salt, (B) a dimethylpolysiloxane having a weight average molecular weight of 300 or more and 3,000 or less, and water, the hair cosmetic being used by applying on the hair and then rinsing away, wherein the content of the component (B) is 0.5 mass % or more and 60 mass % or less, and a receding contact angle (θ.sub.R) of water droplet as measured by the expansion-contraction method with respect to the surface of a polyethylene plate which is applied with the hair cosmetic and then subjected to water washing is 82° or more and 110° or less. A treatment method of hair including (I) applying the hair cosmetic on the hair and spreading it over the entire hair, and (II) rinsing away the hair cosmetic with water from the entire hair.

A hair treatment compositions including about 20 wt. % or more of a polyol; about 5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a monoalcohol having 1 to 10 carbons; about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of silicone; about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of a cationic polymer; about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of a cationic surfactant; about 0.1 to about 15 wt. % of a fatty alcohol; and about 10 wt. % or less of water, wherein all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the hair treatment composition.

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.

The disclosure describes silk hair care compositions and methods of using and making thereof.

Described herein are water-dissolvable films having a non-fibrous body comprising: a quarternary salt; a polymer; and a fragrance. Methods of making and using the water-dissolvable films are also described.
