Abstract: The present invention relates to particle stabilizing compositions suitable for use in fabric care products, home care products, diapers, incontinence articles, feminine care products, pharmaceuticals, oral care products, antiperspirants, deodorants, personal cleansing products, skin care products and hair care products comprising: a) an emulsion comprising from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the emulsion of an internal phase and from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the emulsion of an external phase; b) a charged species that is present in the emulsion; and c) charged insoluble solid particles which are dispersed in the emulsion wherein the charged species possesses a charge which is opposed to that of the charged insoluble solid particles and wherein essentially all of the charged species and charged insoluble solid particles accumulate at the interface of the emulsion and wherein Brownian motion is not exhibited by the charged insoluble solid particles.

Abstract: Disclosed are skin care compositions that are suitable for application on absorbent articles such as panty liners and interlabial products for delivery of the skin care compositions onto an external or internal area of the skin. The skin care compositions comprise low concentrations of skin treatment agents that are effective in preventing and/or reducing skin disorders related to erythema, malodor, and skin bacterial infections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical skin care composition having improved aesthetics containing a skin care active wherein the skin care active is soluble in a tacky solvent and wherein the dermatologically acceptable delivery system contains a tacky solvent in combination with a silicone elastomer and a carrier for the elastomer. The present invention also relates to methods of using such compositions to regulate the condition of mammalian skin while retaining good aesthetics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions, comprising: a.) from about 0.01% to about 50%, by weight, of vitamin B3 compound; b.) from about 0% to about 90%, by weight, of an emollient component comprising from 0% to about 100%, by weight, of an oil liquid at ambient temperature; c.) from about 0.01% to about 40%, by weight, of a polar solvent; d.) from about 0% to about 90%, by weight, of a solidifying agent; and e.) from about 0% to about 90%, on an anhydrous basis, of a color wherein the vitamin B3 compound is added to the composition such that the concentration of the vitamin B3 compound exceeds the saturation solubility of the vitamin B3 compound in the polar solvent.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising a combination of non-emulsifying and emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomers.

Abstract: An anhydrous skin treatment composition is provided which includes a crosslinked siloxane elastomer gel of specific yield point, a skin conditioning agent and a volatile siloxane. Inclusions of the select elastomers provide improved uniform distribution of the pigments.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic compositions including lipsticks, comprising from about 0.01% to about 50%, by weight, of a crystalline vitamin B3 compound having an average particle size of from about 0.01 &mgr;m to about 200 &mgr;m; from about 1% to about 90%, by weight, of an emollient component; and from about 1% to about 90%, by weight, of a solidifying agent. The compositions provide improved skin feel of crystalline vitamin B3 compounds when applied to skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pigmented emulsion cosmetic compositions containing emulsifying silicone elastomers that provide a natural appearance to the skin upon application. In particular, these cosmetic compositions are formulated such that agglomeration of the pigment upon application to the skin is minimized.

Abstract: A skin treatment composition is provided which includes a crosslinked siloxane elastomer gel of specific yield point, a skin-conditioning agent, a volatile siloxane and water. Inclusions of the select elastomers provide improved uniform distribution of the pigments.

Abstract: An anhydrous skin treatment composition is provided which includes a crosslinked emulsifying siloxane elastomer, at least 20% humectant and a volatile siloxane. Inclusion of the elastomer provides a non-traditional smooth/silky feel to the skin upon application with a non-draggy rub in.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cleansing composition suitable for topical application to human skin, more particularly to an oil-based cleansing composition containing a silicone elastomer gelling agent for removal of make-up from the skin.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic compositions, including lipsticks, comprising from 0.01% to about 50%, by weight, of cylindrical crystalline vitamin B3 particles having a particle size distribution such that at least about 70% of the crystalline particles have a height to width ratio greater than 1; from about 1% to about 90%, by weight, of an emollient component; from about 1% to about 90%, by weight, of a solidifying agent; and from about 1% to about 90%, on an anhydrous basis, of a color. The compositions provide improved skin feel of crystalline vitamin B3 compounds when applied to skin.
