Abstract: Provided herein is a method for reducing or inhibiting the crystallization of taurine in a soap bar, wherein the method comprises: a) admixing a fatty acid soap with an aqueous solution of taurine or taurine salt as a taurine source to form an amalgamate and b) preparing a soap bar comprising the amalgamate. Further provided is a soap bar obtained by the above method.

Abstract: This application relates to the visual impact of suspended materials in a liquid composition.

Abstract: A personal cleansing composition which comprises a. a skin cleansing effective amount of a surfactant or mixture of surfactants, b. a hydrophobic active component in quantities which brings about a perceived effect on the skin, said effect selected from the group consisting of skin conditioning, skin protection from irritants and antibacterial agents, c. a hydrocarbon containing component, and d. a cationic polymer the quantities of c and d selected so that the effect on the skin by component b is enhanced over the additive effects of c and d alone.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved formulation hair volumizers which comprise: (a) from 0.01-15 percent by weight (based on the total weight of the composition) of a selected liquid MQ resin having an M:Q ratio of 0.5-1.5 and a medium viscosity in the range of 1.0×103-1×106 centipoise; and (b) from 85-99.99 percent by weight (based on the total weight of the composition) of a hair care carrier (also called a vehicle). The compositions of this invention provide hair with increased volume without significant stiffness or stickiness and may be made in the form of a shampoo, conditioner, combination shampoo/conditioner, sprays, liquid rinses, gels or mousses.

Abstract: This invention relates to improved stabilized shampoo compositions containing siloxysilicate materials commonly referred to as MQ resins, wherein the stabilizers are selected from (i) long chain fatty alcohols with greater than 14 carbons; (ii) acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer; acrylates copolymer; and acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer; and (iii) selected N,N-disubstituted phthalamic acids and their ammonium salts.
