The disclosure relates to compositions comprising (a) at least one polyphenol; (b) at least one film former; (c) at least one emulsifier; (d) at least one fatty compound; and (e) at least one solvent. Optionally, the compositions may further comprise at least one oil, at least one humectant, and/or at least one fatty acid. The compositions can be used for styling hair, for example temporarily straightening the hair and/or for reducing frizz of hair. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions to style hair, straighten hair, and/or reduce frizz of hair.

Active agent-containing articles, for example fibrous structures, that exhibit consumer acceptable article in-use properties, such as article peel strength, flexibility, and/or dissolvability, and methods for making same are provided.

Active agent-containing articles, for example fibrous structures, that exhibit consumer acceptable article in-use properties, such as flexibility, article dimensions, and/or dissolvability, and product-shipping assemblies for containing the same are provided.

A cosmetic composition including a solvent A, a solvent B, a polymer C and a colorant. The solvent A is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol, n-propanol and isopropanol. A boiling point of the solvent B is 150° C. or higher. The solvent B is compatible with the solvent A, and the polymer C is soluble in the solvent A and insoluble in the solvent B. A content of the solvent B is 5% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less, and a ratio by mass of a content of the solvent A to a content of the solvent B [solvent A/solvent B] in the cosmetic composition is 1 or more and 15 or less.

A method for forming a coating on a skin surface using a nanofiber sheet, the method including: (1) applying to the skin a sheet transparentizing agent containing 2 mass % or more of one or more oil agent; and (2) transferring a white nanofiber sheet mainly composed of a water-insoluble polymer to the skin after (1), where the transferred white nanofiber sheet becomes transparent and the coating is a transparent coating through which the skin is visible.

The present invention is directed to a flexible controlled release film for delivering a medicinal or cosmetic agent, e.g., through the skin of a subject, which delivery system comprises (a) a microembossed flexible film including microcells; (b) a liquid composition filled in the microcells wherein said liquid composition comprises the medicinal or cosmetic agent; and (c) a flexible sealing layer to enclose the liquid composition within the microcells.

A cosmetic composition for peel-off-type packs includes a thickener so that pearl or powder particles are stabilized in a formulation to thus impart a sophisticated and differentiated appearance. The content of an alcohol ingredient therein is controlled to accelerate drying, which maximizes a lifting effect. Silicone, imparting a feeling of conditioning, is introduced into polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, which are film formers, thus minimizing skin irritation upon peeling off.

A skin cleansing agent containing the following components (A), (B), and (C): a particle (A) including (A1), (A2), and (A3), (A1) a water-holding oil agent in an amount of from 0.0001 to 13 mass % in the skin cleansing agent, (A2) a moisturizing agent in an amount of from 0.001 to 25 mass % in the skin cleansing agent, and (A3) a polymer; a surfactant (B); and water (C).

An oral appliance, a method of making the oral appliance for delivering an antimicrobial composition to an oral cavity and a method of treatment are provided. The oral appliance has an exterior surface and an interior surface, the interior surface of the oral appliance configured to contour at least a portion of teeth and/or soft tissue areas of the oral cavity. The antimicrobial is dispensed by itself or as a composition in a carrier at discrete regions of the interior surface, the exterior surface or both the interior surface and the exterior surface of the oral appliance for delivering the antimicrobial or an antimicrobial composition to the oral cavity, wherein the antimicrobial is present in the carrier in an amount of about 0.01% to about 20% w/w, v/v or w/v based on a total weight or a total volume of the carrier.

The present invention is related to the field of liquid disinfectant formulas, specifically with obtaining disinfectant compositions applicable to hard and smooth surfaces, porous surfaces and for human use; particularly with disinfectant compositions that allow the surface or surfaces where it is applied, a disinfection with a prolonged effect, for periods greater than 24 hours. More particularly with the use of long-lasting disinfectant compounds, some of them approved by international agencies such as the EPA, and which are also approved by the FDA for cosmetic use due to their low or null toxicity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the formulation of said compositions.
