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.

The present invention relates to a foam made of a specific material having superior properties and to cosmetics comprising said foam.

The present application is directed to a formulation suitable for use as a pre-use depilatory ancillary wherein said formulation comprises a hydrophobic film-forming polymer and a suitable solvent. The application is further directed to depilatory combinations which comprise a pre-use formulation and a depilatory formulation.

The present invention discloses a multifunctional temperature self-regulating multilayer film, from outside to inside comprising at least: a carrier layer (1) loaded with functional material, and a thermal-insulation layer (2) directly contacted with the skin (4); wherein the carrier layer (1) loaded with functional material has a sealed cavity sealed with a flexible water-impermeable material, the sealed cavity is at least loaded with a refrigerating or heat-generating chemical material (11); wherein thermal-insulation layer (2) is made of a material having waterproof and thermal-insulation properties. The present multilayer film can be manufactured into a face mask or eye mask for use on facial skin.

The present invention relates to a foam made of a specific material having superior properties and to cosmetics comprising said foam.

The invention relates to a cosmetic product comprising a) a cosmetic preparation containing, in relation to its total weight, a1) from about 60 to about 98 wt % of at least one polar solvent; a2) from about 0.1 to about 20 wt % of at least one copolymer from the monomers i) n-tert-butylacrylamide, ii) acrylic acid, iii) ethyl acrylate, iv) and optionally other monomers; b) a device for flash evaporation of the cosmetic preparation a), and to a method using corresponding products and to the use of the cosmetic preparation a) as process material in a device for flash evaporation.

An object of the invention is to provide a novel complex or an emulsified composition that can be used as an emulsifier. A complex formed by bonding an amide alcohol and a carboxy group-containing polymer exerts an excellent water-in-oil type or oil-in-water type emulsifying power.

A microcapsule includes a core/shell structure, in which the shell includes a water-soluble polymer and the core includes an organic peroxide. The water-soluble polymer is preferably at least one water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin, poly(meth)acrylic acid derivatives, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and polyethylene oxide. The polyvinyl alcohol is preferably partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of saponification of 80% by mole or more and 99.5% by mole or less and an average degree of polymerization of 1,500 or more and 3,500 or less.

The present invention relates to a foam made of a specific material having superior properties and to cosmetics comprising said foam.

A kit for decorating and styling nails or for supplying the substance to the nail plate comprises a foil placed on a base layer, wherein the foil optionally, on one arbitrary surface, has an decorative or single-colour overprint made directly on this surface and a self-adhesive coating on the internal side. The foil together with the self-adhesive coating and the base layer has at least eight different protrusions forming permanently formed flexible three-dimensional nail stickers, formed together with the base layer on the matrix, wherein the protrusions mirror the anatomic nail shape and moreover the foil layer together with the self-adhesive coating is cut around the perimeter of each of the protrusions. There is also disclosed a three-dimensional nail sticker for decorating and styling nails or for supplying the substance to the nail plate.
