A robust sunscreen composition is disclosed herein comprising a water soluble polymer and a water insoluble film former providing a synergistic effect in SPF retention and critical wavelength after immersion in water, salt water, and chlorinated water. The water soluble polymer comprises poloxamer 338 (and) PPG-12/SMDI copolymer, poloxamer 407 (and) PPG-12/SMDI copolymer, or a combination thereof.

An object of the present invention is to provide a safety sensation-improving agent that can improve dulled peripheral sensations through daily ingestion or application to the skin. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sensation-improving food, beverage, feed, or cosmetics that can improve dulled peripheral sensations through oral ingestion or application to the skin. A sensation-improving agent containing a milk-derived protein and/or a hydrolysate therefrom as an active ingredient is provided. The milk-derived protein and/or the hydrolysate therefrom can be orally ingested or applied direct to the skin to improve dulled sensations, particularly peripheral sensations, and be formed into a sensation-improving food, beverage, feed, or cosmetics.

The present invention includes compounds useful as modulators of TRPM8, such as compounds of Formula (I) and the subgenus and species thereof; personal products containing those compounds; and the use of those compounds and the personal products, particularly the use of increasing or inducing chemesthetic sensations, such as cooling or cold sensations. ##STR00001##

Described herein are whitening compositions comprised of a peroxide component, and an adhesion system, which effectively provide whitening using a remarkably low level of peroxide. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.

Physiological cooling compounds of the structure:

##STR00001##

where R.sub.1 is p-menthyl or 2,3,4-trimethylpent-3-yl group and R.sub.2-R.sub.8 are hydrogen or alkyl groups. The combination of R.sub.2-R.sub.8 is such that the N-alkyl group is a branched C.sub.5 alkyl or branched or linear C.sub.6-C.sub.8 alkyl group. The new carboxamides are valuable sensory ingredients which provide long-lasting cooling sensation and freshness in personal care, oral care, cosmetic products, pharmaceutical preparations, confectionary, food and beverages.

An anti-dandruff composition comprising an Epilobium angustifolium extract, methods of use thereof and kits using same.

Provided is a novel hair growth and hair restoration material having excellent efficacy in hair growth and hair restoration for both men and women, even when the components thereof are at ultra-dilute concentrations; the hair growth and hair restoration material being characterized in containing a sterol glucopyranoside, preferably a cholesteryl glucopyranoside, represented by general formula (I). (In the formula, Z represents a sterol residue from which the hydroxyl group attached to the 3-position of a cyclopentanohydrophenanthrene ring has been removed.)

Described herein is a perfume composition including at least one perfumery raw material and at least one sulfur-containing pro-fragrance compound, where the perfume composition does not include more than 19 wt. % of perfumery raw materials that promote the formation of hydrogen sulfide from the sulfur-containing pro-fragrance. Also described herein are a method for preparing such a perfume composition as well as consumer products including the perfume composition.

Described herein are whitening compositions comprised of a peroxide component, and an adhesion system, which effectively provide whitening using a remarkably low level of peroxide. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.

The disclosure relates to topical compositions and methods comprising whole, non-viable Micrococcaceae cells, wherein the cells have been processed to kill the cells while minimizing lysis. The topical compositions and methods are useful for decreasing skin inflammation and improving skin barrier function.
