Disclosed herein are compositions (e.g., sprays, paints, etc.) that comprise antimicrobial zeolite nanoparticles. Also provided are hemostatic compositions comprising zeolite nanoparticles, dryer sheets comprising zeolite nanoparticles, and textiles comprising zeolite nanoparticles. Also disclosed are compositions (e.g., sprays) that include a binder polymer to improve coating adherence. In some cases, the zeolite nanoparticles can further comprise an optical tracer (e.g., a fluorophore) associated with the zeolite nanoparticles. The optical tracer can be interrogated to confirm presence of the zeolite nanoparticles (or a coating comprising the zeolite nanoparticles) on a surface. Also provided are methods of forming viricidal coatings using compositions that comprise zeolite nanoparticles dispersed in a carrier.

To provide an oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetic comprising a pigment grade hydrophobically treated particle and a hydrophobically treated microparticle, which is capable of uniformly applying particles subjected to hydrophobization treatment on the surface of the skin and exhibiting a good tone-up effect and the like.

The oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetic of the present disclosure comprises a dispersion medium comprising water, and an oil droplet dispersed in the dispersion medium, wherein the dispersion medium comprises a nonionic surfactant, a polyhydric alcohol, and a pigment grade hydrophobically treated particle having an average particle diameter of 300 nm or more, wherein the oil droplet comprises an oil content , a nonionic surfactant, and a hydrophobically treated microparticle having an average particle diameter of 200 nm or less, and wherein the oil content comprises a volatile oil.

Aqueous mixtures can include cellulose nanocrystals and sulfonated polyester, where a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of the sulfonated polyester is greater than 25° C. In some instances, exemplary aqueous mixtures also include one or more additives, such as pigment. Exemplary aqueous mixtures can be applied as a film that is typically hydrophobic and resilient against water at room temperature. Upon application of warm water, such as at temperatures of from about 30° C. to about 60° C., the film can be removed with no or limited abrasion and/or with no or little removal oils.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a colored nonwoven fabric that contains a colorant and nanofibers, which includes the step of injecting a polymer compound A by an electrospinning method to deposit the nanofibers on a surface of a collector, in which the surface of the collector on which the nanofibers are deposited is at least partially formed into an uneven shape.

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising hydroxyapatite and a silica abrasive as well as methods of reducing or inhibiting enamel erosion, repairing enamel erosion damage, increasing enamel microcrack resistance and/or increasing enamel microscratch resistance using these compositions.

An apparatus and method for depositing a particulate containing composition onto mammalian skin such that when the particles contact the mammalian skin they have a momentum defined by ρvr, which is within the range of about 0.1 kg/ms≦ρvr≦about 12.0 kg/ms. The particles can be in the range of from about 10 nanometers to about 10 micrometers, in size. And the particles may be selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, glass, silica and mixtures thereof. The particles are imbedded below the first layer of dead skin cells in the stratum corneum but they do not pass all the way through the stratum corneum into the living cells of the epidermis or dermis layers of the skin.

Provided herein are color protectant compositions for dyed human hair, and methods for determining the same.

Dry mixtures and liquid formulations are provided that comprise metal oxide and/or metal hydroxide nanocrystalline particles. The dry mixtures are advantageously formulated with select surfactants to be readily solubilized and stable in liquid carriers. Additional select components are provided in preferred combinations that are capable of achieving improved biocidal and chemical agent efficacy. Notably, the inventive formulations provided herein allow for easier delivery of the formulations and increased shelf stability.

To provide a composition in which fine particles of solid lipid such as ceramides are emulsified and dispersed in a stable manner without being crystalized. A dispersion of fine lipid particles containing the following components (A) to (E), wherein the dispersion has a pH of 3.5 or more and 8.0 or less and the fine lipid particles have a heat of fusion of 0.30 J/g or less in a temperature range of 45° C. or more and 80° C. or less and an average particle size of less than 200 nm. (A) one or more selected from the group consisting of a sterol and a derivative thereof, (B) a lipid other than the component (A), the lipid being solid or semi-solid at 25° C., (C) an anionic surfactant, (D) a water-soluble solvent and (E) water.

A three-part method of cleaning a user's teeth and/or gums is disclosed. First, a user applies a tonic of essential oils to the user's teeth and/or gums by either brushing, rubbing, rinsing and/or flossing with the tonic thereby destroying harmful bacteria. Second, the user brushes with a toothpaste having nano-hydroxyapatite being particles of 50 nanometers or smaller. The nano-hydroxyapatite is absorbed into the surface opening inside dentinal tubules of the teeth. Third, the user seeds their mouth with an oral probiotic having beneficial bacteria. The third step must come after both the first and second steps.
