Abstract: The present invention relates to dual textured treatment pads comprising at least one paper pad layer laminated to at least one nonwoven, synthetic fiber pad layer. The invention also encompases treatment pads impregnated with a suitable medicated, cleansing, or cosmetic composition. The invention further encompasses a method of treating acne and skin wrinkling and/or atrophy with these medicated pads.

Abstract: Hair care compositions which provide improved styling and hair conditioning properties are disclosed. The compositions comprise from about 0.1% to about 10.0% of a specifically-defined silicone copolymer and from about 0.5% to about 99.5% of a carrier suitable for application to hair. These compositions are characterized by the fact that, when dried, the polymer phase separates into a discontinuous phase which includes a silicone macromer and a continuous phase which includes the copolymer backbone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oil-in-water emulsion compositions useful for topical application to human skin. These compositions comprise from about 5% to about 60% by weight of the total composition of an oil phase having a viscosity from about 3000 cps to about 10,000,000 cps, wherein the oil phase comprises from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of a particulate thickener for the oil phase, and from 0% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of an oil phase emulsifier.
