Abstract: A personal care composition is provided that when the composition is applied to the skin provides improved translucency to reveal a healthy skin color. The composition is based upon a mixture of dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt and cocoa butter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel composition containing specific mild surfactant system comprising fatty acyl isethionate product and alkanoyl surfactant. Addition of triglyceride of specific degree of hydrogenation permits the retention of emollient benefit while retaining also “squeaky” feel of soap and maintaining lather stability.

Abstract: A personal care cleansing composition is provided which includes a C10-C24 acyl glycinate salt and a dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt. Most preferred is sodium cocoyl glycinate in combination with dihydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. The quaternary ammonium salt enhances foaming properties of the glycinate salt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to beauty wash bar compositions which deliver enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes. This is accomplished using specific deposition systems (where oil/emollient comprises part of deposition system) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles onto skin.

Abstract: A personal care composition is provided having a fragrance which incorporates limonene, gamma terpinene, ethylene brassylate or combinations thereof in conjunction with a quaternary ammonium salt. The salt has a structure AB, wherein A is a cationic charge component, B is an anionic charge component, and A has one quaternized nitrogen atom, at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight no higher than about 250. The quaternary ammonium salt functions as a scent boosting agent to enhance volatilization of the fragrance components when the personal care composition is first applied to skin or hair of the human body.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a crosslinked silicone elastomer, a zinc oxide or zirconium oxide of average particle size less than 300 nm and a light reflecting inorganic material of platelet shaped particles having an average particle size of about 10,000 to about 30,000 nm, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier system. The composition achieves soft focus and radiance properties which improve the appearance of skin. Good coverage over imperfections such as pores and uneven skin tone is achieved while retaining a natural skin appearance.

Abstract: A personal care composition is provided with a silicone compound and being aesthetically modified for improved skinfeel with a quaternary ammonium salt, the salt having a structure AB, wherein A is a cationic charged component, B is an anionic charged component, and A has one quaternized nitrogen atom, at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight no higher than about 250.

Abstract: High internal phase emulsions and end use compositions made therefrom are described. The high internal phase emulsions have superior stability and sensory characteristics and can be prepared with less than 20% by weight elastomer, an emulsifier and a steric stabilizer characterized as a polyether and/or polyglycerine cross-linked elastomer.

Abstract: A personal care product is provided which includes a fragrance, a substituted urea and a quaternary ammonium salt. The substituted urea and quaternary ammonium salt operate together as a scent boosting system to enhance volatilization of fragrance components upon the personal care composition being first applied to human skin or hair.

Abstract: A personal care composition is provided that when the composition is applied to the skin provides improved translucency to reveal a healthy skin color. The composition is based upon a mixture of dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt and cocoa butter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to facial wash compositions delivering enhanced whitening using sub-micron titanium dioxide, optional modifier and specific deposition systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions delivering enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes. These are delivered using specific deposition systems (where oil/emollient comprises part of deposition system) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided which is substantially free of fatty acids and soap and yet displays the typical sensory and optical features of a vanishing cream. The composition comprises C12-C22 fatty alcohol, emulsifier, inorganic agent, polymer and water. The inorganic agent comprises smectite clay. The composition is mild and may be used to stabilise and deliver a wide variety of skin benefit agents such as sunscreens.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a copolymer which is preferably a C10-C18 acrylates crosspolymer, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram, wherein the composition has a normal force of from about +5 to about +50 grams thereby achieving a silky sensory feel on skin, the glycerin to copolymer being present in a weight ratio ranging from about 350:1 to about 10:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Abstract: A personal care composition is provided formulated with glycerin and a moisturization enhancing agent which is a salt of structure AB, wherein A is a cationic charged component, B is an anionic charged component, and A has at least one quaternized nitrogen atom and at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight no higher than about 400.
