A cleansing composition contains trialkylamine oxide. The trialkylamine oxide includes, for example, decyltetradecyl dimethylamine oxide.

An oil-water separating composition has an aqueous phase and an oil phase separated from the aqueous phase in a stationary state. The oil-water separating composition contains from 0.05 to 5% by mass of a polyol derivative with respect to the mass of the composition. The polyol derivative is at least one of a glycerin derivative and a glycol derivative.

Aspects of the invention are directed to characteristics and parameters of color coatings on keratin fibers. The color coatings are produced from compositions of several kinds of polymers that enable the color coatings to exhibit adherence, remanence, wear fastness and resistance to environmental attack.

The present invention primarily relates to novel mixtures with stabilizing properties, particularly for avoiding, reducing or delaying the formation of sensorially undesired flavours and/or tastes in oxidative degradation processes or autoxidative processes or reducing, avoiding or delaying oxidative processes in one or more oxidation-sensitive compounds, particularly autoxidative processes, their use in specific preparations as well as novel preparations and methods of producing such preparations. Additionally, herein described are methods for decreasing, avoiding or delaying the formation of sensorially undesired flavours and/or tastes in oxidative degradation processes or autoxidative processes or for decreasing, avoiding or delaying oxidative processes in one or more oxidation-sensitive compounds, particularly autoxidative processes.

The present invention provides an oily moisturizer composed of an esterified product of a component A and a component B, or an esterified product of the component A, the component B and a component C, wherein the hydroxyl value of the esterified product is within a range from 0 to 180 mgKOH/g, and the mass ratio between fatty acid residues derived from the component B and fatty acid residues derived from the component C within the fatty acid residues that constitute the esterified product of the component A, the component B and the component C is within a range from 99.9:0.1 to 25:75. The invention also provides a topical skin composition containing the oily moisturizer.

Component A: a polyglycerol having an average polymerization degree, calculated from the hydroxyl value, of 2 to 10

Component B: one fatty acid, or two or more fatty acids, selected from among linear saturated fatty acids of 6 to 10 carbon atoms

Component C: one fatty acid, or two or more fatty acids, selected from among fatty acids of 6 to 28 carbon atoms (but excluding fatty acids of the component B)

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition in the form of a nano- or micro-emulsion, comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid ester, preferably with a polyglyceryl moiety derived from 3 to 6 glycerins, more preferably 5 or 6 glycerins; (c) at least one hydrotrope; and (d) water. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention has a dispersed phase which has a smaller diameter due to a combination of the (b) polyglyceryl fatty acid ester and the (c) hydrotrope. Therefore, the cosmetic composition can be in the form of a nano- or micro-emulsion with transparent or slightly translucent.
