Spearmint flavor enhancers and methods for the production thereof. The spearmint flavor enhancers may include l-carvone, l-carveol isomers, and d-dihydrocarveol isomers. The spearmint flavor enhancers may further include l-isocarveol isomers, l-carvyl acetate isomers, d-dihydrocarvyl acetate isomers, and l-isocarvyl acetate isomers.

A topical therapeutic hydrophobic breakable composition includes a carrier comprising (a) about 60% to about 99% by weight of at least one hydrophobic oil; (b) at least one viscosity-modifying agents selected from the group consisting of a fatty alcohol, a fatty acid and a wax; and (c) a tetracycline antibiotic, characterized in that at least part of the tetracycline antibiotic is suspended in the composition; the viscosity of the composition is at least about 30% higher than the viscosity of the carrier without the tetracycline antibiotic; and is higher than the viscosity of the hydrophobic oil and the tetracycline antibiotic without the viscosity modifying agents; and the amount of viscosity modifying agents can optionally be reduced by at least an amount by weight that would have increased the viscosity of the carrier without the tetracycline antibiotic by at least 30%; wherein the tetracycline is chemically stable in the composition for at least six months; wherein more than about 90% of the tetracycline has not broken down; wherein when packaged in an aerosol container to which is added a liquefied or compressed gas propellant the composition affords upon release from the container a breakable foam of at least good quality that breaks easily upon application of shear force.

Systems and methods herein are developed which enable modification of an initial customized cosmetic product, wherein the initial customized cosmetic product is created based on an initial customized cosmetic product specification or an existing specification of a non-custom product. One such system for making a custom cosmetic product from an existing non-custom cosmetic product is configured to be capable of: characterizing a non-custom product with a known key comprised of at least one search component; providing user interaction to modify at least one of the at least one search components in this key to create a modified key; and using the modified key to produce custom product by evaluating a neighborhood of closest keys to determine manufacturing instructions. Further, a system to modify a custom product is configured to be capable of: specifying a custom cosmetic product by a known key comprised of at least one search component; providing user interaction to modify at least one search component in this key to create a modified key; and using the modified key to produce custom product by evaluating a neighborhood of closest keys to determine manufacturing instruction.

Systems, kits and methods for client customizable cosmetics including but not limited to foundation, blush, eye-shadow, lip products, and nail polish. Systems, kits and methods include a full range of on demand mixing powders and solutions, along with tools for creating, mixing, naming, labeling, and tracking past use for future reference. Systems, kits and methods can be provided in larger packages or in custom, fit to order amounts for users. Systems, kits and methods provide basic, sometimes raw materials, so clients can create cosmetics that appeal to their life styles (vegan, organic, etc.), tastes and personal preferences.

The present application relates to the use of neopentyl glycol diacetate (CAS 13431-57-7) as a flavor and fragrance ingredient.

Provided is a liquid cosmetic suited for a liquid cosmetic applicator using a brush or a pen feed as an applying means and suited for use in an eyeliner or an eyebrow, which has a good water resistance and is excellent in a skin adhesive property and which is free of a lustrous feeling and has a mat tone. The liquid cosmetic comprises at least carbon black, water, 0.5 to 5% by mass of a dispersant comprising a film-formable resin, 2 to 15% by mass as a solid of a film-forming agent, 0.5% by mass or less of a surfactant, and xanthan gum or a hydroxyethyl acrylate/acryloyldimethyltaurinato Na copolymer for a mat tone provider; a glossiness of the liquid cosmetic is 6.5 or less; and a viscosity thereof at 25 C. and a shear rate of 76.8 s.sup.1 falls in a range of 10 to 270 mPa.Math.s.
