Abstract: The present invention discloses petrolatum based composition containing silicone oils which are structured with specific blend and ratio of fatty acids.

Abstract: The invention relates to soap based liquid body and facial wash compositions. Using high solvent, low water compositions and incompletely neutralized fatty acid to help structure the compositions, all in combination with modified benefit agents, enhanced deposition of make-up agents is achieved.

Abstract: The invention is directed to skin moisturizing compositions comprising an aminopeptide mixture. The composition replenishes the skins natural moisturization factor and delivers excellent sensory benefits. The composition is not unpleasantly viscous during and after application.

Abstract: Petrolatum based compositions (i.e., composition in which the emollient petrolatum comprises greater than or equal to 50% of the composition) are desirable because of the excellent moisturization properties provided by petrolatum. However, it has sensory negatives perceived by consumers. Specifically, because of the oily/greasy and “tacky” (i.e., slightly adhesive or gummy to touch) feel, petrolatum has certain limits to the scope of application. We have found a way to overcome this problem using a copolymer which furthermore avoids the undesirable use of additional oil. A composition is therefore provided comprising: i) 50% to 99.95% by weight petrolatum; ii) greater than 0.05% by weight of a copolymer bearing greater than 70% long chain alkyl. said composition having an enthalpy of between 30 and 65, preferably 40 and 60, even more preferably 45 and 55 J/g, the petrolatum number average crystal size being less than 10 ?m, preferably less than 5 ?m, more preferably less than 1 ?m.

Abstract: In-the-shower or in-the-bath compositions having a high internal phase emulsion are described. The high internal phase emulsion is a water-in-oil emulsion where active is present in the water phase. The compositions have an initial viscosity which is low and they are suitable to thicken when being applied in the presence of water.

Abstract: The present invention discloses silicone oils which are structured with a copolymer comprising a large percentage of alkane groups. Using high percentage pendant alkane helps provide silicone with ideal gel properties (G?>G?, particularly >1000 cP, more preferably 2000-30,000 cP) and viscosity, after fracture, of 10 to 1000 cP, preferably 30-500 cP MW of polymer and exact chain length are selected to ensure that, when forming gel upon cooling after mixing polymer and silicone, the polymer viscosity will not be so high upon crystal formation that gel cannot form, yet also will not be so low that polymer will phase separate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced delivery of benefit agent from a personal product bar carrying composition into which the premix is added. The use of structured benefit agent also enhances delivery of separate benefit agents in the premix (which may or may not be structured) and of separate benefit agents added separately from the premix.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of enhancing viscosity and/or viscoelasticity of surfactant solution using nanoparticles. The particle allow a formulator to tailor-make a solution of defined rheology (viscosity and/or viscoelasticity) using nanoparticles to control these properties. Further, the particles allow independent control of each of the variable and further allow the variable to be controlled without use of additional surfactants, polymer and other components traditionally used for this end. The invention also comprises compositions thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to beauty wash bar compositions which deliver enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes. This is accomplished using specific deposition systems (where oil/emollient comprises part of deposition system) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles onto skin.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range. The invention further relates to compositions comprising said surfactants and benefit agent(s) having reduced surfactant damage.

Abstract: The invention provides a method selecting benefit agent(s) suitable for reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range.
