Abstract: A perfluorinated oil-in-water biliquid foam is provided as a vehicle for delivering cosmetics and active agents while producing a refreshing and unique contact with the skin, and enhancing the aroma of fragrances within the foam. The biliquid foam contains an oil phase perfluorinated solvent, surfactants, co-solvents, and oil-based ingredients such as aromatic extracts, and a water phase with anionic or hydrophilic surfactants. The biliquid foam may be made by gradually increasing addition of the oil phase to the water phase under moderate mixing conditions. Various other auxillary cosmetic and non-cosmetic components such as vitamins, anti-oxidants, stabilizers, thickeners, dyes, moisturizers, and preservatives may be added to the biliquid foam as well.

Abstract: The present invention relates to emulsion compositions and methods for preparing these emulsion compositions which employ amphipathic emulsifying agents and high shear polymeric emulsion techniques and which may be used for the preparation of a great variety of emulsion compositions. In particular, the method provides for the preparation of hybrid products which effectively cleanse and also leave a highly protective substantive residue on the skin.

Abstract: An aroma diffuser assembly for dispensing an aroma from a replaceable and expendable cartridge is provided. The cartridge includes a porous block for holding a relatively large quantity of aroma producing liquid and a protective cartridge housing for covering the block to allow handling of the cartridge without coming in contact with the block. The assembly includes a diffusion housing containing a heater assembly and blades for coupling the heater assembly to an electrical outlet. The diffuser housing is adapted to receive the cartridge and support it above the heater assembly. The cartridge housing and block have slots and channels aligned with a slot in the diffusion housing to allow heated air to impinge on the block to vaporize the liquid and to pass freely into the ambient atmosphere. Should condensation of the vapor occur on the interior walls of the cartridge, the condensed liquid is collected by troughs at the bottom of the cartridge.

Abstract: A cleansing composition which may be in the form of a shampoo and/or bath and shower gel is provided which includes a unique combination of hair and skin conditioners and moisturizers, namely, a combination of cocodimonium hydrolyzed keratin and a mixture of monosaccharides and disaccharides in natural combination with amino acids.

Abstract: A stable form of allantoin is provided which takes the form of a combined allantoin-hydrolyzed animal protein product which may be employed in the form of a hydroalcoholic solution, such as a cologne, after-shave lotion or skin toner, containing at least about 0.5% by weight allantoin which remains in solution, without crystallizing out, over extended periods of time.Methods for increasing the stability of allantoin and for forming a stable form of allantoin are also provided.
