A stable sprayable cosmetic composition that includes at least one mineral UV filter; at least one oil phase rheology modifier; and water; wherein the cosmetic composition is a water-in-oil composition and wherein the viscosity at shear rate of about 1000 (1/s) is lower than about 110 mPa.Math.s. The cosmetic composition can be sprayed without requiring to be mixed with propellant.

An oral care composition comprising zinc phosphate, stannous fluoride and an organic acid buffer system, as well as methods of using the same.

Inventive embodiments disclosed herein include an oil-in-water mascara formulation that includes non-emulsifying waxes in a concentration of 1 to 12 percent by weight; at least one viscosity modifier; and at least one non-wax grafted polymer and at least one wax grafted polymer with a combined concentration of 0.10 percent to 50 percent.

The present invention relates to a fragrance composition comprising ionic liquids for enhanced evaporation of the perfume raw materials. The invention also relates to methods of use of the fragrance compositions for perfuming suitable substrates, particularly skin and hair.

Disclosed herein is a formulation that can take the form of an emulsion which contains total enteral or parenteral nutrition for a recipient subject. The formulation includes as the sole fat components: (i) medium chain triglycerides; and (ii) very long chain fatty acids selected from (a) very long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; and (b) docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid in a ratio of about 10:1 (v/v or w/w) to about 2000:1 (v/v or w/w). The sole fat components provide about 10% to about 90% total calories of the formulation, and the medium chain triglycerides provide about 25%-95% total fat calories of the formulation. Methods and kits for utilizing the formulation and for treating various disorders and diseases that involve an inflammatory response are also disclosed.

A cosmetic haircare product for the straightening of hair in shampoo format, belonging to the technical field of cosmetics, is disclosed. The shampoo is ready to be used in a single step, and comprises: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Glyoxylic Acid, Cocamide DEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Salicylic Acid, Glycol Distearate, Thioctic acid, Perfume (fragrance), Mica CI 77019, CI 77891, D-Limonene, Linalool, Propylene glycol, Hexyl cinnamal, Sodium hyaluronate, Butylphenyl methylpropional, DMDM hydantoin and Phenoxyethanol. Its method of use is also disclosed.

This document relates to methods and materials involved in providing a tooth, tooth component, or inorganic dental material (e.g., a human tooth, a human tooth component, or an inorganic dental material within a human's mouth) with a white appearance. For example, a whitening adhesive containing a conjugate of at least a polyamine, a polyphosphate, and one or more whitening agents (e.g., titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and/or hydroxyapatite) can be used to provide a tooth, tooth component, or inorganic dental material with a whiter appearance.

A droplet for delivering toothpaste to a user can be provided. The droplet can include a dissolvable outer membrane defining a volume with toothpaste inside the volume. The outer membrane can be formed from dissolvable film strip technology and include a tail or corner portion, which is configured to be embedded into the bristles of a toothbrush. In one aspect of this embodiment, the outer membrane of the droplet can form a pillow-like shape. The droplet further can include one or more extensions coupled to the outer surface of the outer membrane, where the one or more extensions can have a triangular shape, a barb shape or the like. In one aspect of this embodiment, the droplet further can include a logo, a cartoon character, a word or the like printed on the outer membrane. The plurality of extensions can form irregularities on the outer surface of the body section of the outer membrane.

A method for forming a dispersible nonwoven substrate in an aqueous medium comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of contacting a fibrous substrate with an aqueous nonwoven binder comprising an emulsion polymer having a polydispersity index of at least 10, a weight average molecular weight of less than 1,000,000 and from 8 weight percent to 22 weight percent acid monomer, based on the weight of the emulsion polymer, is disclosed. The aqueous nonwoven binder can be prepared by a method comprising the steps of: a) emulsion polymerizing at least one mono-ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one acid monomer in an aqueous solution using an initiator wherein the initiator is present in the aqueous solution in an amount in the range of from 0.5 weight percent to 1.5 weight percent, based on the total weight of the monomers, to form the emulsion polymer; and b) neutralizing the emulsion polymer with a neutralizer selected from the group consisting of an amine having a pKb of 4 to 7, an alkali hydroxide, and combinations thereof to form the aqueous nonwoven binder. The dispersible nonwoven substrates can be used to produce dispersible wipes, such as baby wipes, personal care wipes, cleaning wipes, or any other wet nonwoven containing lotion having a pH of below 5 or 6.
