Abstract:
The invention is directed to a topical composition suitable to control sweat. The composition comprises a low HLB lipid and a silicone oil whereby the composition has at least one metastable phase formed during topical application to the skin. The composition does not interfere with thermoregulation of the body, and yields a quantifiable cooling effect when applied.
Abstract:
The invention discloses bar compositions which are milder than soap but have squeaky feel or rinse associated with soap. This is accomplished by ensuring at least a certain portion (at least 1 %), or all of the soluble surfactant system is ion-sensitive. Further, soluble soap comprises less than 1 % by wt. of bar, which helps produce a less alkaline pH bar while allowing squeaky feel to be produced.
Abstract:
Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning compositions containing 12-[(12- hydroxyoctadecanoyl)oxy] octadecanoic acid. 12-[(12-hydroxyoctadecanoyl)oxy] octadecanoic acid can be easily incorporated in combination with lipophilic carriers that are liquid at room temperature. Compositions are able to deliver increased energy production by human fibroblasts. Preferred compositions also contain 12-hydroxystearic acid and thus are able to deliver a wide range of skin benefits.
Abstract:
A high solvent content emulsion having solvent, functionalized polymer and particle having an isoelectric point below the pH of the emulsion is described. The emulsion yields excellent sensory and deliverability benefits and is suitable for use as a carrier for consumer-based end use compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to shear gels and topical compositions comprising the same. The topical compositions can be substantially free of silicone elastomers and yield excellent sensory characteristics when applied.

Abstract:
Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning compositions are disclosed. The composition comprises from about 0.01 to about 15% by weight of the composition of 12-hydroxystearic acid, from about 0.1 to about 30% by weight of the composition of a nonionic surfactant and from about 0.05% to about 10% of a thickening polymer. The ratio of total nonionic surfactant to 12-hydroxystearic acid is in the range from about 90:10 to about 25:75. The weight ratio of the polymer to the total nonionic surfactant is in the range of from about 5:95 to about 70:30. The composition has a viscosity in the range of from about 1Pas to about 500 Pas and is structurally reversible through temperature cycling between room temperature and 50°C.

Abstract:
The invention relates to both compositions comprising flat platy particles wherein the particles individually have deposition system (i.e., cationic polymers and anionic surfactant) on them.
Abstract:
Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning compositions comprising 12-hydroxy stearic acid (12HSA). Compositions contain 12HSA, yet have a relatively low viscosity, so are suitable for spreading on the skin, and are stable on storage and structurally reversible through temperature cycling.
