Abstract: Multi-phase personal care compositions comprise a first phase and a second phase, wherein said first and second phases form a visually distinct pattern. The compositions are intended for moisturizing or conditioning skin or hair and comprise less than about 10%, by weight of the multi-phase personal care composition, of surfactant. Methods of moisturizing or conditioning skin or hair comprise the steps of wetting the skin or hair, applying the multi-phase personal care composition to the skin or hair, and rinsing the multi-phase personal care composition from the skin or hair. A process for making the multi-phase personal care composition comprises forming a first phase by premixing an oil/emollient benefit agent and oil-soluble colorant and then combining the premix with additional optional ingredients.

Abstract: A rinsable personal care composition includes (a) 0 to 75 weight percent of a composition surfactant; (b) 0.01 to 99 weight percent of a skin benefit agent or emollient; (c) 0.01 to 20 weight percent of a hydrophobically modified non-platelet particle; and (d) 0 to 99% water.

Abstract: A linear and rotary actuated liquid dispensing pump is provided which offers precise high speed dispensing of liquids and easy volume adjustability. The dispensing pump includes an inlet for receiving a supply of liquid, an outlet for dispensing a metered amount of liquid, and a cavity in communication with the inlet and outlet. The pump has a plunger disposed within a cavity for controlling the amount of liquid within the cavity. The pump also has a rotary actuator for rotating the plunger, and a linear actuator for actuating the plunger linearly within the cavity to control the fill and dispensing of liquid. A controller controls the linear and rotary actuators and allows operation input to adjust variables.
