Abstract: A pesticidal mixture of an oil and an aliphatic acid is provided. In mixture, the aliphatic acid and oil are each effective to reduce the mixture's melting point (or viscosity transition point) to below the oil's and acid's melting points (or viscosity transition points). The mixture can be eutectic, such that the melting point of the mixture is less than both the oil melting point and the acid melting point. The oil can be a fatty acid ester, such as a wax ester. The aliphatic acid can be a fatty acid. Pesticidal mixtures comprising various natural pesticidal oils are disclosed, including neem oil, palm oil, coconut oil, and karanja oil.

Abstract: Agricultural compositions comprising emulsifier systems for a pesticidal natural oil active ingredient are disclosed. One such composition includes a pesticidal natural oil active ingredient and an emulsifier system with a first component selected from glyceryl oleate, ethoxylated oleate, and ethoxylated soybean oil; and a second component comprising ethoxylated castor oil; wherein the ratio between the first component and said second component is between 1:3 and 3:1; and where the emulsifier system disperses the pesticidal natural oil active ingredient in a water emulsion. Methods for providing agricultural compositions and applications to control one or more pests are also disclosed.

Abstract: Pesticidal compositions for improving physical characteristics of pesticide formulations which comprise natural pesticidal oil active ingredients are disclosed. One such composition comprises a pesticidal natural oil active ingredient, a surfactant to disperse the active ingredient in a water emulsion and a polymeric pour point depressant effective to reduce a pour point temperature of the pesticidal natural oil active ingredient. Methods for providing pesticidal compositions and application to control one or more pests are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85°, wax, optical particle, and at least 20% of water by weight of the composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic mask, particularly to a cosmetic mask that is a water insoluble substrate with a composition impregnated therein which can be applied to the face or any other topical surface of the body. The cosmetic mask provides both the benefits of a skin care active that delivers long-term benefits as well as instant lightening benefits without the disadvantages of unnatural whiteness that is often associated with such instant lightening products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a skin lightening composition, particularly to a composition in the form of a mask that can be applied to the desired topical surface for providing instant lightening benefits without the disadvantages of unnatural whiteness. This is effective due to the inclusion of high amounts of whitening particle along with select film forming polymer while ensuring that the amount of humectants is below a certain value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic mask, particularly to a cosmetic mask that is a water insoluble substrate with a composition impregnated therein which can be applied to the face or any other topical surface of the body for providing instant lightening benefits without the disadvantages of unnatural whiteness. The instant lightening benefits are achieved through use of a judicious combination of whitening particles and film forming polymers impregnated in the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising a first film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85°, a second film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85°, a lipid having a melting point of at least 5° C., optical particle, and at least 20% of water by weight of the composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising from 0.01 to 9% of film-forming polymer having a contact angle of at least 85° by weight of the composition, from 0.01 to 3.5% of fatty compound by weight of the composition and optical particle, wherein the fatty compound is selected from fatty acid, soap, or a mixture thereof.
