Abstract: A composition comprising an antiperspirant or deodorant active and which is substantially free of alcohol and has a viscosity of less than 100 centipoise and a contact angle less than 90°. A product comprising the composition marketed in a porous dome applicator.

Abstract: An applicator for liquid cosmetic products, wherein product is dispensed primarily by capillary flow of the cosmetic product through the applicator and wherein the liquid cosmetic composition has a flow rate outward from the porous polymeric applicator head of about 0.05 to about 1.0 cc/s when a pressure gradient of 0.5 psi is applied across the applicator device. The cosmetic products are preferably antiperspirant and/or deodorant products comprising an antiperspirant and/or deodorant active.

Abstract: A hair conditioning foamed mousse product is provided which is housed in a pressurized canister fitted with valve having total orifice of at least 0.0002 in2 (0.13 mm2). The canister is filled with a cationic surfactant, a high molecular weight silicone, a low molecular weight silicone and a propellant. Advantageously the ratio of low to high molecular weight silicone ranges from 10:1 to 1:10. The low molecular weight silicone in amounts less than 1% counters the anti-foaming effect of the high molecular weight silicone thereby allowing formation of a stable light/airy foam. Also provided is a method for conditioning hair with mousse product applied to hair within a shower stall.

Abstract: A viscoelastic cleansing gel composition which includes: a. from about 4 to about 25% an anionic surfactant; and b. from 0 to about 20% of an amphoteric surfactant; wherein the composition has a G′h at 63 rad/s in a range of about 500 to about 1000 Pa. and a &ohgr;c in a range of about 0.1 to about 2 rad/sec and; wherein the ratio of anionic to amphoteric surfactant is in the range of about 1:3 up to a composition which has anionic but no amphoteric surfactant.

Abstract: An water-in-oil hair relaxing composition comprising:

Abstract: The invention relates to opaque hair conditioner compositions that have a lamellar dispersion in the internal aqueous phase and which are water in oil emulsions that comprise: a) about 40 to 95% aqueous phase comprising (i) water and (ii) a cationic surfactant, capable of forming lamellar dispersion, present at about 0.1 to about 10% of the aqueous phase; b) about 0.5 to about 30% oil, comprising a volatile silicone compound, a nonvolatile silicone compound, a volatile hydrocarbon compound, a nonvolatile hydrocarbon compound, or a mixture thereof; c) about 0.1 to about 20% silicone surfactant; and d) optionally di-long chain alkyl amines having C10 to C22 carbon chains, long chain fatty alcohols having C10 to C22 carbon chains, or ethoxylated fatty alcohols.

Abstract: Rinse-off, water-in-oil-in-water multiple emulsion compositions are disclosed. The multiple emulsion compositions comprise an external aqueous phase optionally incorporating an emulsifier and/or a second topically-active compound. The internal phase comprises a primary water-in-oil emulsion, wherein the primary emulsion comprises a first topically-active compound, a surfactant phase, an oil phase, and water.

Abstract: Water-in-oil-in-water multiple emulsion compositions are disclosed. The multiple emulsion compositions comprise an external aqueous phase optionally incorporating a surfactant system capable of forming liquid crystals as an emulsifier. The internal phase comprises a primary water-in-oil emulsion, wherein the primary emulsion comprises a first topically-active compound, a surfactant phase, an oil phase, and water.
