The invention relates to a composition, especially a cosmetic emulsion composition, comprising at least one dispersion of film forming particles in aqueous phase and at least one hydrophobic filler, as well as to methods of using such compositions.

Compositions and methods are disclosed for preventing or reducing frizzy appearance of keratin fibers, including hair, and reducing the amount of fly-away strands of hair, particularly in humid conditions, by forming a coating on hair that is resistant to water vapors from the air or surrounding environment. The compositions comprise a combination of a hydrophobic particulate material comprising a hydrophobically surface-modified aluminum oxide and one or more hydrophobic film formers in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.

The present invention relates to silica/zwitterionic polymer composite nanoparticles, a preparation method therefor, and a hydrogel moisturizing patch containing the same. The silica/zwitterionic polymer composite nanoparticles of the present invention reduces the evaporation velocity of water by displaying a strong binding force to water and exhibits water retention and skin barrier function reinforcement effects, and thus can be used as an artificial moisturizing factor for preparing a hydrogel moisturizing patch or various cosmetic formulations pursuing similar skin effects thereto.

The present invention relates to a composition, especially cosmetic composition, in particular for caring for keratin materials, comprising: at least one particulate cellulosic compound; at least hydrophobic silica aerogel particles; at least one semicrystalline polymer containing at least one alkyl acrylate chain; and at least one wax of plant origin having a melting point of greater than 25 C. It also relates to a cosmetic process for caring for keratin materials comprising the application to the keratin materials of said composition.

Powdery composition containing an emulsion having core-shell particles where the core is liquid and the shell is hydrophobized particles, and a carrier powder having a carrier and a partially water soluble liquid and/or a water reactive substrate reversibly bound to the carrier. A method of using the powdery composition is also disclosed whereby the powdery composition is applied and activated by energy input to form a creamy or liquid composition, and are suitable for various household and industrial applications including paint and stain products, surface treatment products, and personal care applications including cosmetic preparations, such as powders, in various products including, but not limited to, moisturizers, lotions, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss, sunscreen and fragrances. These free-flowing, fine dry water powdery compositions liquefy when applied, rubbed or brushed on the desired surface.

A coated powder comprises (a) nanoparticles, and (b) a coating, on the surface of the nanoparticles. The coating comprises (1) silica moieties, (2) organo oxysilane moieties selected from the group consisting of mono-organo oxysilane moieties, bi-organo oxysilane moieties and tri-organo oxysilane moieties, and (3) poly(dialkyl)siloxane moieties.

Compositions and methods are disclosed for preventing or reducing frizzy appearance of keratin fibers, including hair, and reducing the amount of fly-away strands of hair, particularly in humid conditions, by forming a coating on hair that is resistant to water vapors from the air or surrounding environment. The compositions comprise a combination of a hydrophobic particulate material comprising a hydrophobically surface-modified oxide and one or more hydrophobic film formers in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.

The present invention is directed to an antiperspirant/deodorant composition comprising: hydrogen peroxide, wherein said composition is essentially free of aluminum cations or zirconium cations, and the composition is exposed to a light source having a wavelength range of >220 nm and <405 nm.

A resilient, abrasion resistant nail covering is described. The nail covering includes a transformed, solidified UV gel with coated glass microparticles.

To provide a cosmetic composition having high water resistance even when no silicone oil is used or only a small amount thereof is used.

A cosmetic composition includes the following component: UV scattering agent particles, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, and a liquid oil, and a content of a silicone oil in the liquid oil is 10 mass or less.
