Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions having improved application benefits to keratinous tissue and keratinous fibers wherein said compositions have improved application benefits, while avoiding the negatives associated with compositions currently known in the art. The cosmetic compositions exhibit a turning point stress of from about 650 Pa to about 1500 Pa and a high shear rate slope of less than about 0.5 Pa-s. Applicants have also found that the compositions disclosed herein are also useful for other cosmetic applications that relate to keratinous tissues like skin, e.g., lipsticks, foundations, eyeliners, lipliners, eyeshadows, rouges, etc., where it is desirable to provide a smooth application of a long wearing, film-forming cosmetic product.

Abstract: Disclosed are hair styling compositions which comprise from about 5% to about 90% by weight of a polyalkylene glycol styling agent that is substantially free of polyalkylene glyceryl ethers, and that has a number average molecular weight of from about 190 to about 1500 and from about 5 to about 35 repeating alkylene oxide radicals wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; from about 1% to about 90% by weight of a liquid carrier which can comprise water, an organic solvent, or combinations thereof; and, optionally, from about 5% to about 40% by weight of a propellant.

Abstract: An article for the delivery of personal care foams including a package comprising a container having flexible, deformable walls, an opening portion, a first sponge and a foaming composition. The package also includes at least one temperature changing element. The temperature changing element may include an anhydrous reaction, heats of solution, oxidation reactions, crystallization, electro-chemical heaters, zeolite-liquid systems and heats of neutralization. Further, the container may also include a second sponge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions having improved application benefits to keratinous tissue and keratinous fibers wherein said compositions have improved application benefits, while avoiding the negatives associated with compositions currently known in the art. The cosmetic compositions comprise a phospholipid, a PVP copolymer and a water insoluble latex and provide hair fiber thickening, separation, detangling combined with long wear. Applicants have also found that the compositions disclosed herein are also useful for other cosmetic applications that relate to keratinous tissues like skin, e.g., lipsticks, foundations, mascaras, eyeliners, lipliners, eyeshadows, rouges, etc., where it is desirable to provide a smooth application of a long wearing, film-forming cosmetic product.
