A product for providing a customized color shade sunscreen product to match a skin tone of a subject is provided. The product comprises a color dose formulation, an instruction and optionally a sunscreen. The color dose formulation has high concentration of pigments and is suitable for being mixed with a sunscreen to prepare a customized color shade sunscreen product. Also is a method of preparing a customized color shade sunscreen product to match a skin tone of a subject. Such method comprises mixing a selected color dose formulation with a sunscreen. The color dose formulations may be selected from six color shade compositions that offer color shades suitable for all skin tones. The customized color shade sunscreen product may provide a sensorial benefit such as dry touch, good spreadability, no white residues, oil control and UV protection and visible light.

The present invention relates to a metal layered hydroxide complex and a method of preparing the metal layered hydroxide complex.

A non-pyrogenic preparation containing nanoparticles synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria for medical or cosmetic applications. The nanoparticles are constituted by a crystallized mineral central part including predominantly an iron oxide, as well as a surrounding coating without material from the magnetotactic bacteria.

The invention provides a method of using a personal cleansing composition, said personal cleansing composition comprising, in an aqueous continuous phase: (i) from 5 to 30% by weight of one or more anionic cleansing surfactants; (ii) from 0.1 to 10% by weight of discrete, dispersed droplets of emulsified silicone with a mean diameter (D3,2) of 4 micrometres or less; (iii) from 0.1 to 5% by weight of microcapsules in which a core comprising benefit agent is encapsulated in a polymeric shell, and (iv) from 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of a combination of cationic polymers comprising: (a) at least one cationic polygalactomannan having a mean charge density at pH7 from 0.2 to 2 meq per gram; and (b) at least one acrylamidopropyltrimonium chloride/acrylamide copolymer having a mean charge density at pH7 from 1 to 3 meq per gram; wherein the method comprises the steps of—applying the personal cleansing composition to a substrate selected from hair and skin;—drying the substrate; and—shearing the microcapsules to release the benefit agent after a period of from 24 h to 2 weeks.

Compositions contain boron nitride nanomaterials at least partially coated with biomolecules.

A powder-containing composition contains from 0.5% by mass to 22% by mass of a first powder which is a nonspherical powder having a hydrophobic particle surface, from 6% by mass to 25% by mass of a liquid-state polyol, 50% by mass or greater of water, and from 3% by mass to 12% by mass of a liquid-state oily component. A content of a second powder which is a spherical powder is 1.5 parts by mass or less relative to 1 part by mass of the first powder. A content of a surfactant is 0.5% by mass or less relative to the mass of the powder-containing composition.

A method of preparing hydrophobic porous silica includes adding an alcohol to a solvent in which a porous silica particle including a hydrophilic group is dispersed and stirring the same to form a mixture, drying the mixture including the porous silica particle in a vacuum, and condensation reacting the hydrophilic group of the porous silica particle with the alcohol on the surface of the porous silica particle to modify the surface of the porous silica particle to be hydrophobic.

A composition comprises phenolic polymer particles and a surfactant, on the phenolic polymer particles. The composition is lipophilic. A dispersion comprises the phenolic polymer particles, the surfactant, and a carrier vehicle. The carrier vehicle may be a cosmetically-acceptable fluid or a wax that is lipophilic.

A method for coating solid granules containing a carbohydrate, gum Arabic, or protein by combining the solid granules with at least one solid coating material, and applying acoustic energy to said combination is provided as are coated solid granules prepared by the method.
