  • Publication number: 20100137179
    Abstract: Disclosed are make-up removal compositions, comprising a mineral oil-free oil phase; a sodium salt of an acrylate copolymer; a stabilizing polymer; and a hydrophobic wetting agent, and methods of using the compositions to remove make-up from facial tissue or skin. The disclosed compositions exhibit a rheological profile that features a variable (“up and down” or “increasing and then decreasing”) shear stress response to increasing shear rates, and which is believed to contribute to better performance than known make-up removal compositions tested.

  • Publication number: 20100062960
    Abstract: An oil composition contains 1 to 50 percent by weight of a glycerol monoether compound represented by following Formula (1): R1O—(C3H6O2)n1—H??(1) wherein R1 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group which may be substituted, and “n1” denotes a number of repeating glycerol units ranging from 1 to 3; and 1 to 50 percent by weight of a polyglycerol monoether compound represented by following Formula (2): R2O—(C3H6O2)n2—H??(2) wherein R2 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group which may be substituted, and “n2” denotes a number of repeating glycerol units ranging from 4 to 20. The oil composition is usable as a foamable cleansing agent that is mild to the skin, exhibits superior detergency for removing oily cosmetics, and is usable even when the skin is wet.

  • Publication number: 20100047194
    Abstract: Polyester oil structurants are obtainable by the reaction of a dimer based dicarboxylic acid, a polyol and a C16 to C30, particularly a C20 to C24, monocarboxylic fatty acid. The structurants can be used to provide structure, particularly thickening and/or gelling, in oils of a wide range of polarity. Thickened oils can find application in a range of personal care and other applications.

  • Publication number: 20090258808
    Abstract: The ocular tolerance of cosmetic, dermocosmetic and dermopharmaceutical compositions is improved by the incorporation therein of an effective amount of a polyol-glycoside or of a mixture of polyol-glycosides of formula (I): R1—O-(G)-H (I) in which: —x represents a decimal number between 1 and 5 and G represents the residue of a reducing sugar, and R1 represents a radical of formula (A) —CH2—(CHOH)n—CH2—OH (A) in which n is an integer equal to 2, 3 or 4, or else R1 represents a radical of formula (B) —(CH2—CHOH—CH2—O)m—H (B) in which m is an integer equal to 1, 2 or 3. The invention also relates to new concentrates which contain compounds of formula (I), foaming and/or detergent surfactants and topically acceptable solvents, and also to processes for preparing them.
