Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition and method for protecting a keratinous substrate from harmful UV rays by applying onto the substrate a composition containing: (a) at least one oil phase thickening agent chosen from an activated clay; (b) at least one substantially solid form dispersing aid; (c) at least one non-volatile solvent; (d) at least one inorganic sunscreen active; (e) at least one emulsifier; (f) at least one volatile solvent; and (g) water, and wherein (a) and (b) are present in the composition in a ratio by weight ranging from greater than 1:4 to less than 1:10.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to two-phase sunscreen compositions containing (1) a water phase including an alcohol having five or fewer carbons and a polyol; and (2) an oil phase including at least one sunscreen active, a first emollient, and a second emollient, the first emollient having a first polarity, the second emollient having a second polarity, the first polarity differing from the second polarity. The present invention is also directed to a two-phase sunscreen product formed from the two-phase sunscreen composition and a method of protecting a keratinous substrate from UV radiation by applying onto a surface of the keratinous substrate the two-phase sunscreen product.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sunscreen composition containing a novel preservative system for inhibiting micro-organisms comprising (a) at least one aromatic carboxylic acid, or salt thereof; (b) from about 0.01% to about 1% by weight of at least one at least one aromatic alcohol; (c) at least one sunscreen active; and (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: An anhydrous oil foam composition containing: (a) at least one liquid oil; (b) at least one surfactant chosen from polyglyceryl-2 laurate; (c) at least one UV filter; and (d) a propellant, wherein the composition is waterless and is capable of imparting UV protection onto a target keratinous substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water-insoluble reaction product of an oil-soluble polar modified polymer and a polyamine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions including a detackifying effective amount of at least one polyurethane/poly(meth)acrylate graft copolymer as well as to methods of using such compositions and to kits comprising such compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions containing glitter containing dark colorant as well as to methods of applying such compositions to keratin materials and kits containing such compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed are mascara compositions containing a latex polymer, a self-emulsifying wax in an amount of at least 15% by weight of the composition, and water, and methods of making and using the compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule comprising: (a) a region of DNA which is homologous to a region of an endogenous gene present in a genome of a cell of interest; (b) a first nucleic acid encoding an encephalomyocarditis internal ribosome entry site (EMCV IRES); (c) a second nucleic acid encoding a selectable marker which can be excised from the nucleic acid molecule if the nucleic acid molecule has been integrated into the genome of the cell of interest; and (d) a third nucleic acid encoding a gene of interest. The cell may be an animal cell, a yeast cell or a plant cell. The invention also provides for transgenic non-human animals which are created using the above described construct. The invention also provides methods for making such transgenic animals.
