Abstract: The present invention relates to novel sunscreen agents which have the ability to absorb both UVA and UVB wavelength radiation. The sunscreen agents comprise a specific type of UVA-absorbing chromophore covalently bonded to a specific type of UVB-absorbing chromophore. The chromophore moieties are covalently bonded together such that the electron systems of these moieties are not directly coupled.The present invention further relates to sunscreen compositions containing the hereinbefore described type of sunscreen agents. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for protecting the skin of humans of lower animals from the effects of UVA and UVB wavelength radiation. This method comprises topically applying to the skin an effective coating of a sunscreen composition of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to low glass transition temperature adhesive copolymers useful in products such as those which provide hair styling hold, e.g., aerosol mousses, shampoos and conditioners. The monomer components in these copolymers are randomly distributed in the copolymer chain, preferably to form a substantially linear chain. At least one of the monomer components is selected from acrylate amides and methacrylate amides; and furthermore at least one of the other monomer components is selected from acrylate esters and methacrylate esters. These copolymers have a single glass transition temperature within the temperature range of from about 0.degree. C. to about 80.degree. C. The present invention further relates to hair styling compositions (e.g., aerosol mousses, shampoos, conditioners) comprising these adhesive copolymers, and to methods for providing styling hold to hair by using an adhesive copolymer or composition of the present invention.

Abstract: Suspensoid antiperspirant stick compositions, which provide the user with excellent antiperspirant efficacy, reduced residue upon application to the skin, reduced residue on the stick after dry-down, and excellent cosmetics and aesthetics, are disclosed. These compositions are substantially free of water and comprise a volatile silicone material, a particulate antiperspirant active, a low melting point wax, and a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid selected from mineral oils and branched chain C.sub.16 -C.sub.68 hydrocarbons. The method of preventing and controlling perspiration wetness using these compositions is also disclosed.

Abstract: Silicone hairspray compositions which give hair volume and hold but with a soft feel are disclosed. These compositions comprise from about 0.05% to about 10.0% of a nonrigid silicone gum, said gum having dispersed therein from about 0.03% to about 8.0% of unsolubilized particulate matter which is preferably an octyl acrylamide/acrylate/butyl aminoethyl methacrylate copolymer; from about 0.05% to about 5.0% of a hydrophobically-modified clay suspending/anti-agglomerating agent; and a volatile carrier, such as ethanol.

Abstract: Silicone hairspray compositions which give hair volume and hold but with a soft feel are disclosed. These compositions comprise from about 0.05% to about 10.0% of a silicone gum; from about 0.05% to about 7.5% of a dispersing aid for the silicone gum which may be a surfactant emulsifier or a hydrophobically-modified clay suspending/anti-agglomerating agent; and a volatile carrier, such as ethanol.

Abstract: Hair care compositions which give both improved style and hair conditioning properties are disclosed. These compositions comprise from about 0.05% to about 10.0% of a nonrigid silicone gum, said gum having dispersed therein from about 0.01% to about 8.0% of unsolubilized particulate matter which is preferably an octylacrylamide/acrylate/butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer.

Abstract: Perfume particles are disclosed comprising perfume dispersed within certain water-insoluble polymeric carrier materials. Cleaning and conditioning compositions comprising these perfume particles are also disclosed. The perfume particles allow for preservation and protection of perfumes which are susceptible to degradation or loss in storage and in harsh cleaning conditions. The particles further allow for efficient delivery of a large variety of perfume types to fabrics or other surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to styling agents comprising adhesive copolymers along with a volatile diluent useful in products such as shampoos and conditioners which provide hair styling hold. The monomer components in these copolymers are randomly distributed in the copolymer chain, preferably to form a substantially linear chain. Preferably, at least one of the monomer components is selected from vinyl pyridine, acrylate amides and methacrylate amides and one of the other monomer components is selected from butadiene, isoprene, isobutene, acrylate esters, methacrylate esters, vinyl alkyl ethers, alkyl-substituted butadienes, and chloroprene. These copolymers also have a single glass transition temperature within the temperature range of from about 0.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. The volatile diluents useful in these styling agents can be hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, amines, alkyl alcohols, or volatile silicon derivatives.
