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.

Solid concentrated compositions of foaming cleansers, methods for preparing such solid concentrated compositions, and methods for forming liquid cleansing solutions from such solid concentrated compositions are provided. An exemplary solid concentrated composition includes a surfactant and a dissolution promotion agent, wherein the composition is anhydrous, and wherein the composition is substantially free of sulfates.

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.

Provided herein are methods and compositions for maintaining and/or increasing vitamin C in a cell or organism. The methods and compositions are based, in part, on the synergistic effect of ergothioneine, or a derivative thereof, on vitamin C levels in cells or organisms.

The present invention relates to an anhydrous composition for dyeing human keratin fibers, comprising at least one natural dye, at least one hydrazono and/or azo cationic synthetic direct dye and at least one compound of formula (I) in which Y represents a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl group or a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyloxy radical, n denotes an integer ranging from 0 to 5, and X, which may be identical or different, represents a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl radical or a halogen. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing human keratin fibers using this composition.
