Abstract: Disclosed are skin care compositions containing refractive polymeric particles. The composition improves the appearance of skin but reducing gloss without a noticeable presence on the skin surface.

Abstract: Provided are hair care compositions comprising: (a) a polyolefin oil blend comprising (i) at least one metallocene catalyzed polyolefin with a density above 0.90 g/cm3, (ii) at least one metallocene catalyzed polyolefin with a density equal to or below 0.90 g/cm3, and (iii) a cosmetically acceptable hydrocarbon oil; (b) a thickener; and (c) a humectant; wherein the high and low density polyolefins have an average melt index greater than 7, wherein the polyolefin blend is present in a range of from 0.1 to 1.4 weight % by weight of the composition, and wherein the composition is substantially free of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer.

Abstract: A composition comprising a gelling agent is provided. The gelling agent consists essentially of a cellulose ether based gelling polymer and the composition is a rigid foam at 20 degrees Celsius. The composition may also comprise an active ingredient. Also provided is a process of making the composition comprising drying a foamed liquid composition comprising the gelling agent at low temperatures. The foamed liquid composition may also comprise an active ingredient.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a composition for delivery of a payload to an oral cavity. The composition incorporates a payload and is stable under slightly aqueous conditions, but dissolves when exposed to moderate or highly aqueous conditions, and/or mechanical action, releasing the payload. The composition can be used alone or as a component in a toothpaste formulation.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a composition for delivery of a bleaching agent to an oral cavity. The composition is stable to environmental storage conditions, but upon subjection to highly aqueous conditions, releases the bleaching agent for use.
