The invention is directed to a hydratable concentrated surfactant composition. The composition is pourable, easy to dilute, substantially free of sulfate and oil, comprises a C.sub.6-C.sub.14 acid, alcohol or both, an anionic surfactant comprising acyl isethionate and an amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant or both. The composition is in lamellar phase and thickens and transforms to an isotropic phase upon dilution. The composition can be used as a concentrate in small volumes and diluted as used and needed or can be diluted with water in refill packaging to ensure a reduction in plastic waste.

A composition for caring for keratin materials, comprising a fatty acid-ester mixture of a plurality, e.g., at least 3, 4, or 5, of medium chain fatty acids and a plurality, e.g., at least 3, 4, or 5, of monoesters; and a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable auxiliary agent to assist the delivery of the fatty acid-ester mixture to the keratin materials.

The present invention relates to a deodorising composition containing: (a) 1,8-para-menthenethiol, (b) 3-mercaptohexyl acetate and (c) undecylenic acid or a derivative thereof. It also relates to the use of said composition for eliminating bad odours, and to a deodorant product in the form of an aerosol, a candle or a perfume diffuser that has a wick or a stick or is electric, or an article consisting of a solid polymeric material, in particular a silicone elastomer, containing the aforementioned composition.

The present invention relates to a two-component cosmetic composition for wrinkle reduction. The two-component cosmetic composition for wrinkle reduction according to the present invention forms a coating having a sufficient strength to reduce a scrubbing phenomenon caused by external force and has a suitable viscosity as well as no cloudiness phenomena arising.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising an aqueous solution of at least about 70% by weight water in combination with selected fatty acid salts and optionally an alcohol and/or a cooling sensate, as well as methods of using the same to treat symptoms of hot flashes. The fatty acid salts form fiber-like crystalline particles that together form a self-supporting mesh structure with voids, the aqueous solution being contained in the voids. When the composition is compressed above a critical stress, the mesh allows for the entrapped aqueous solution to be expressed.
