Oil-based particles have an average particle size of 0.05 mm to 10 mm, and include: (A) polar oil; and (B) an oily gelling agent having a melting point of 60° C. or more.

A system is provided that includes a mobile user device (300) that executes an application and determines and transmits a recipe for generating a target cosmetic material that is based on a combination of a plurality of separate ingredients that are associated with the user. The system includes a dispensing device (100) configured to receive the transmitted recipe from the mobile user device 300) and dispense each of the plurality of separate ingredients onto a common dispensing surface such that when the dispensed amounts of each of the plurality of separate ingredients is blended on the dispensing surface, the target cosmetic material is achieved.

A method of treating skin is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to a peron's skin a composition comprising 0.0001% to 5% w/w of a hydrolyzed algae extract comprising exopolysaccharides from Halymenia durvillei, and 0.0001% to 5% w/w of a saccharide isomerate comprising an exopolysaccharide synthesized by Vibrio alginolyticus, wherein at least one of skin permeability is decreased, filaggrin production is increased, skin moisture is increased, occludin production is increased, or TNFα production is inhibited in the skin.

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.

A colored nonwoven fabric that contains a colorant and nanofibers, in which the colored nonwoven fabric has an uneven shape on at least part of a surface thereof, and an L*.sub.1 value of convex portions of the uneven shape is higher than an L*.sub.2 value of concave portions of the uneven shape; a colored nonwoven fabric set; and a process for producing the colored nonwoven fabric.

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.
