Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing a UV LED lightbar for setting a UV-curable nail formulation are described herein. A lightbar comprises a detachable UV lightbar comprising a plurality of UV lights with at least two of the plurality of UV lights having different UV light output; and a connector for connection to a power supply, where the detachable UV lightbar is controlled by a controller connectably attachable to the connector, the controller configured to control the plurality of UV lights in a manner to cure a nail gel preparation. A method for curing a nail gel preparation comprises identifying by a processing device, the nail gel preparation; and configuring an UV light assembly to cure the nail gel preparation.

Abstract: Inventive subject matter disclosed herein includes a perfume that includes water; alcohol; oil in a concentration of about 2 to 20% by weight; a scent imparting constituent; and a stabilizing agent in a concentration effective for imparting a capacity to make a misting spray pattern when the perfume is sprayed through a sprayer.

Abstract: Compositions adapted for use as a bathing (shower or bath) gel for personal cleansing are provided, the compositions containing reduced loadings of relatively harsh anionic surfactants and of fragrance oils, but retaining a spectrum of functional properties perceived by consumers as desirable. The compositions include lower concentrations of anionic surfactants compared to standard bathing gel compositions, but the addition of quantities of a long-chain alkyl, hydroxyalkyl cellulose derivative to the composition preserves or enhances functional properties such as viscosity, skin mildness, foam generation on lathering, subjective perceived cleansing appreciation, and fragrance performance. The bathing gels provide an environmental benefit such as reduced surfactant loading, biodegradability, and aquatic toxicity of wastewater streams when used in the place of standard bathing gels.
