Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a methyl naphthalenyl ketone or a derivative thereof, such as 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-2,3,8,8-tetramethyl-2naphthalenyl)-ethan-1-one, for down regulating at least one TRP receptor associated with a pain response, including but not limited to TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors to reduce skin irritation associated with hair removal.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a multi-active system for down regulating cytokines comprising at least three actives, an extract of camellia sinesis, panthenol, and a glycyrrhizinate salt.

Abstract: A method of treating post-shave irritation via an advanced shave regimen.

Abstract: A personal skin polishing or microdermabrasion device having a convenient form factor with a applicator attached to a contoured housing with a handle portion. The housing contains a battery, a cordless motor and a gear box to provide an appropriate rotational velocity to the output shaft that is coupled to the applicator. The applicator may be a foam material selected to cushion the skin from excessive abrasion to the particles in a personal care composition to be used with device, and to have a porosity that will enable the foam to interact with the particles and enhance the skin polishing effect.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising an anti-irritation agent such as a zinc pyrithione, a zinc salt or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method of viewing a surface comprising taking at least a first image from a first position and a second image from a second position to allow for comparative analysis and diagnosis of the surface.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a multi-active system for down regulating cytokines comprising at least three actives, an extract of camellia sinesis, panthenol, and a glycyrrhizinate salt.

Abstract: A method of assessing damage of a fibrous substrate comprises the steps of: (a) providing said fibrous substrate having a length, a root end, and a tip end; (b) providing a means for assessing substrate moisture content; (c) using said means for assessing substrate moisture content to obtain at least a first measured moisture content value for said fibrous substrate at a first position along the length of said fibrous substrate and a second measured moisture content value for said fibrous substrate at a second position along the length of said fibrous substrate; (d) comparing said measured moisture content values with each other to obtain a measured moisture content differential; and (e) correlating said measured moisture content differential to a substrate damage value for said fibrous substrate.
