Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising, as solid particles, silicone methacrylate particles which are obtainable by the steps a) producing an emulsion of water and an organic phase, where the organic phase comprises specifically organopolysiloxanes modified in the terminal and/or lateral position with methacrylate groups, or mixtures thereof, with the addition of at least one emulsifier and optionally one or more coemulsifiers, where the organic phase forms the internal phase of the emulsion, and fully polymerizing the internal phase in the presence of a radical initiator, which is added to the external phase (aqueous phase) in a concentration of from 0.1 to 40% by weight based on the internal phase, and also to corresponding cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to particles based on polyamide 10.10, wherein the particles have a mean particle size d50 from 1 to 50 ?m, an apparent density from 180 to 300 g/l and a NH2/COOH end group ratio of from 50:50 to 95:5, the use of such particles for the production of cosmetic compositions, the cosmetic composition itself and a process for producing the particles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for removing body malodor comprising a cyclodextrin, a film forming polymer and an aqueous carrier. The deodorant composition of the present invention may be in the form of a lotion that removes or eliminates body odor, provides long lasting deodorant effects, and moisturizing and antibacterial benefit to skin.
