The present disclosure relates to gentle cleansing compositions, which generally include: (a) a taurate surfactant; (b) an isethionate surfactant; (c) a betaine (and/or another amphoteric surfactant); and (d) a nonionic emulsifier. The cleansing compositions exhibit very good cleansing properties, are particularly effective for removing makeup, and are mild and moisturizing to the skin.

The invention includes a diester exhibiting improved hydrolytic stability that is an esterification product of a 1-methylheptyl alcohol and a dicarboxylic acid. In some embodiments, the diester is bis(1-methyl heptyl) butanedioate, bis(1-methyl heptyl) nonanedioate and/or bis(1-methyl heptyl) decanedioate. The diester may be natural and/or not sourced from palm. Also contemplated within the scope of the invention are diesters exhibiting improved hydrolytic stability represented by Formula (I):

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.1 is chosen from a linear alkyl group containing four to ten carbon atoms. Also included are personal care compositions comprising any of these diesters and methods of preparing a personal care composition using the inventive diesters, and/or methods of altering the tactile impression and/or skinfeel provided to a user by a personal care composition by combining any of the diesters of the invention and at least one personal care component to form a personal care composition; and topically applying the personal care composition to the hair, skin, and/or nails of a user.

The present invention relates to a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, and more preferably a cleansing composition, comprising: (a) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid diester and/or at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid triester; (b) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid monoester; and (c) at least one oil, wherein the ingredients (a) and (b) comprise a fatty acid moiety with 6 to 22 carbon atoms, preferably 7 to 20 carbon atoms, and more preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and 10 or less glycerol units, preferably 8 or less, and more preferably 6 or less, and the average HLB value of the ingredients (a) and (b) ranges from 8.0 to 11.0, preferably from 8.5 to 10.5, and more preferably from 9.0 to 10.0. The composition according to the present invention is stable and can provide sufficient makeup removability and a comfortable feeling just after being rinsed off.

The present invention relates to a formed fabric which contains cellulose fibers, which contain zinc oxide particles which are at least partially incorporated and which is additionally impregnated with a liquid, and to a method of its production and to its use, in particular for manufacturing preservative-free, moist wet wipes.

A lash cleansing slip apparatus and cleaning system is described. The lash cleansing slip is configured to facilitate the safe and effective cleaning of make-up such as mascara, eyeliner, and similar cosmetics from the eye region of a user. The apparatus is equipped with specially designed holes configured to accommodate an index finger and a thumb of a user to facilitate the cosmetic removal. A front of the apparatus is preferably padded and is designed to be the cleaning face of the apparatus to be applied to the eyelid and eyelashes of the user while minimizing irritation of the eyes. Consistent use of the apparatus, in contrast to conventional cleansing wipes, is envisioned to minimize the creation of wrinkles of the eye region over time.
