The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for providing full spectrum photo protection to skin, which includes protection from infrared (IR) radiation and/or visible light in addition to protection from UV radiation. The compositions typically include: (a) silymarin; (b) one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of ferulic acid, Vitamin C, polydatin, and hespertin; (c) optionally, one or more solubilizers; and (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions are unique in that the combination of (a), (b), optional (c), and (d) alone, provide at least full spectrum protection from ultraviolet radiation (UV), visible light, and infrared radiation (IR). The composition can additionally, optionally, include one or more UV filters to further enhance protection from UV radiation.

A personal care composition is provided having a highly volatile fragrance which incorporates alpha pinene, beta pinene, hexyl acetate, limonene, (+)-citronellal, dihydromyrcenol, alpha citronellol, beta citronellol, genaniol, lilial or combinations thereof in conjunction with tricyclodecane amide. The tricyclodecane amide functions to prevent fast volatilization of the highly volatile fragrance components when the personal care composition is applied to skin or hair of the human body.

Individually packaged topical formulations comprising about 0.25 to about 6% w/w of glycopyrrolate for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, wherein said wipe is contained within a pouch resistant to leakage. The formulations may further comprise ethanol, a buffering agent and water. In addition, the formulations may further comprise a polymer system comprising a hydrophobic polymer in combination with a hydrophilic polymer.

Disclosed herein is a composition that is suitable for influencing electromagnetic radiation on cutaneous extracellular matrix protein production. The composition contains (a) a proanthrocyanin, a polyphenol or a proanthrocyanin/polyphenol-containing plant extract, absorbed or adsorbed onto an inert carrier, where component (a) is responsive to UV, IR or visible light; (b) a photo-activatable amino acid or amino acids blend; and (c) a dermatologically-acceptable vehicle, wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % based on the total amount of component (a) and component (b), said component (b) is present in an amount of from about 65 wt % to about 85 wt % based on the total amount of component (a) and component (b), and said component (c) is present in an amount of from about 90 wt % to about 99.95 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

The present disclosure provides personal care compositions comprising a surfactant system that includes an anionic surfactant, a zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and optionally a non-ionic surfactant; a preservative system; a pH modifier; optionally a moisturizer or a skin conditioner or both a moisturizer and a skin conditioner; and a viscosity adjusting system, wherein the viscosity adjusting system comprises glyceryl oleate and at least one additional viscosity adjusting agent. Use of the viscosity adjusting system can achieve viscosity levels that would otherwise not be possible by either agent alone, and allows for higher maximum viscosity levels while at the same time providing an emolliency to the formulation.

Fragrances that provide a scent of freshness tend to be volatile and are therefore not very economical when used in typical applications such as washing or cleaning processes, so they have to be used in relatively large quantities to be able to produce adequate effects. The disclosed photolabile pro-fragrances provide a much longer-lasting sense of fragrance, in particular with a scent of freshness, when used in typical applications, thus allowing said fragrances to be used economically.

A method of combatting colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising the steps of: (1) contacting the material with a composition comprising an electrophilic species selected from aldehydes, succinimidyl esters, and mixtures thereof; (2) contacting the material with a composition comprising a chelating agent and/or a salt of an amine and/or a carboxylic acid.

A hair cosmetic comprising the following components (A) and (B) at a mass ratio of component (B) to component (A), (B)/(A), of 0.7 or more and 5.0 or less: (A) an aromatic sulfonic acid having a molecular weight of 300 or less or a salt thereof; and (B) a cationic polymer having a cationic charge density of 4.5 meq/g or more.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: a) at least one sebum-absorbing powder with a sebum up-take of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or at least one styling powder; b) at least one zinc salt other than the sebum-absorbing powders with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or than the styling powders; c) optionally a propellant. A subject of the present invention is also to a process for the thy-washing and cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising a step of applying the composition to the hair.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing, alleviating or treating pruritus and/or atopy using an N-acetylamino acid or an N-acylamino acid having almost no side effects on the human body. Also, the present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition for moisturizing skin or soothing skin. The composition of the present disclosure may be utilized to ameliorate a problematic skin condition caused by various causes, or to safely and effectively alleviate or treat pruritus and/or atopy without concern about side effects.
