Abstract:
The present invention relates to beauty wash bar compositions which deliver enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes. This is accomplished using specific deposition systems (where oil/emollient comprises part of deposition system) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles onto skin.
Abstract:
A cosmetic composition containing a retinoid and having an improved stability and mildness. Especially preferred compositions also include retinoid boosters and a polyhydric alcohol humectant.
Abstract:
A cosmetic composition is provided which includes at least about 2% solid asymmetric particles, a retinoid solubilized in a fluid oil and wherein the fluid oil to solid particles are present in a weight ratio such that the composition exhibits a normal force value of less than −100 milli-Newton containing a retinoid. The composition diminishes the appearance and feel of oily skin and is capable of delivering benefits associated with retinoids.
Abstract:
Cosmetic oil-in-water emulsions which are intended to be left on the skin after application (not rinsed off) the emulsions incorporating a stabilized protease. The cosmetic emulsions useful in treatment of dry, flaky, rough, aged, wrinkled or cellulotic skin.
Abstract:
High internal phase emulsions and end use compositions made therefrom are described. The high internal phase emulsions have superior stability and sensory characteristics and can be prepared with less than 20% by weight elastomer, an emulsifier and a steric stabilizer characterized as a polyether and/or polyglycerine cross-linked elastomer.
Abstract:
A personal care composition is provided that when the composition is applied to the skin provides improved translucency to reveal a healthy skin color. The composition is based upon a mixture of dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt and cocoa butter.

Abstract:
A personal care composition is provided formulated with glycerin and a moisturization enhancing agent which is a salt of structure AB, wherein A is a cationic charged component, B is an anionic charged component, and A has at least one quaternized nitrogen atom and at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight no higher than about 400.

Abstract:
A high skin friction cosmetic composition that can provide the consumer-desired sensory properties of traditional vanishing creams, stable at low pH, containing solid asymmetric particles and an anionic emulsifier having pKa values of less than about 4.5. The composition preferably further includes an acidic skin benefit agent. A method of controlling or preventing an oily skin appearance and/or feel especially in the facial area, by applying to the skin the inventive composition is also disclosed.
