Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a cosmetic composition for controlling perspiration and odor. Despite being free of volatile silicones—which have garnered a bad reputation due to their ecotoxicity and bioaccumulability in aquatic species—the composition of the instant disclosure replicates the textural and sensorial benefits provided by the use of volatile silicones like cyclotetrasiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane and cyclohexasiloxane.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an aqueous microcapsule composition comprising a plurality of microcapsule particles, a film-forming mixture, and an aqueous solvent. Each microcapsule particle comprises a sol-gel material and a volatile oil-soluble active ingredient encapsulated by the sol-gel material. The film-forming mixture of the present disclosure extends the efficacy of the volatile oil-soluble active ingredient encapsulated in the microcapsule particles by improving the adherence of the microcapsule particles to the substance to which the aqueous microcapsule composition is applied (e.g., a keratinous substance or a fabric). The aqueous microcapsule composition of the instant disclosure—which is free of formaldehyde and stable in aqueous solvents—is well-suited for use in aqueous personal care products.

Abstract: A non-caustic oven cleaner composition comprises from 1% to 12% monoethanolamine, from 2% to 20% diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and from 1 to 10% of sodium or potassium carbonate. The composition, preferably in an aerosol formulation having from 2% to 10% propellent, is effective at ambient room temperatures. The preferred carbonate is potassium carbonate. Up to 60% of the monoethanolamine can be replaced with an equivalent amount of diethanolamine.
