Abstract: This invention relates to a coated powder material containing a powder material having a surface layer that has been chemically immobilized with one or more surface-active agents and coated with an oil. The surface-active agents are present in an amount of at least about 0.1% by weight, based on the powder material; the oil is present in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to 180% by weight, based on the powder material; and the combined weight percentage of the surface-active agents and oil is at least about 4.0% by weight, based on the powder material. The oil-absorption rate of the powder material ranges from about 0.01 to about 0.70 gram of oil per gram of dry powder. The coated powder material is useful as a cosmetic.

Abstract: The invention provides, among other things, fully and partially extended color bulk powders and partially and fully extended color bulk dispersions. Invention fully and partially extended color powders and fully and partially extended color dispersions can be used in cosmetic and makeup products, personal care products, and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract: This invention relates to a surface-modified pigment having at least two surface-active agents chemically immobilized onto the surface of the pigment. The first surface-active agent has an HLB of about 10 or more, the second surface-active agent has an HLB of 9 or less, and the difference in HLB between the first and second surface-active agents is at least about 5. The surface-modified pigments are self emulsifying and are applicable for use in water-based cosmetic systems and toiletry products.

Abstract: A composition and method for enhancing skin adhesion of cosmetics by using pigments and extender pigments for the cosmetics, which pigments and extender pigments are treated with at least one hydrophobidizing agent and/or hydrophobidizing/lipophobidizing agent and one or more high viscosity esters having a viscosity in excess of 30 cps. The present invention further comprises such coated pigments and extender pigments as well as cosmetics made therewith.

Abstract: A pigment containing particles surface treated with N-acylglycine hydroxyaluminum and/or N-acyl-N-methylglycine hydroxyaluminum, and a pigment dispersion which contains such surface treated particles and a cosmetically acceptable oily material, having excellent dispersion stability and versatility (ease of dispersion and wide range of usage), because the particles are easily and uniformly dispersed in a short period of time at a high concentration in such a cosmetically acceptable oily material, thus a cosmetic product is thereby stable as an emulsion and has better usage than existing products.

Abstract: There is provided a pigment surface treated with N-acylglycine hydroxyaluminum and/or N-acyl-N-methylglycine hydroxyaluminum, and a pigment dispersion which contains such surface treated pigment and a cosmetically acceptable oily material, and has an excellent dispersion stability and versatility (ease of dispersion and wide rage of usage).

Abstract: A non-aqueous personal scrubbing composition comprising at least one water-soluble carbohydrate having a mean particle size diameter from about 100 microns to about 2000 microns in an amount from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of the total composition and non-aqueous media in an amount from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of the total composition.

Abstract: An emulsion slurry for cosmetic products, which comprises particles of pigments d/or extender pigments having a lipophilic moiety attached to the surface thereof and cosmetically acceptable oil component or oily material or combination of both dispersed in a liquid suspending medium comprising a mixture of water and oil.

Abstract: A composition for cosmetic products and a method for making the cosmetic products, the composition comprises particles of pigments and/or extender pigments, water-soluble metal salt, and one or more hydrophobidizing agents selected from hydrogenated lecithin, and water-soluble alkali salt of fatty acids, acylamino acids, and acyl collagen with the water-soluble metal salt and the one or more hydrophobidizing agents being prevented from chemically interacting with one another in the presence of ambient moisture prior to placement of the composition into an aqueous slurry by encapsulation or by entrapment of one of such materials.

Abstract: A particulate composite powder wherein each composite powder particle comprises a substrate particle surrounded by fine particles of metal oxide bound to the surface of the substrate particle by a binding agent containing at least one of metallic soap and wax, the amount of fine particles of metal oxide being between 10 and 30 wt % and the amount of said binding agent being between 0.5 and 5 wt % based on the total weight of substrate particles, fine particles of metal oxide and binding agent.

Abstract: An oil-free and wax-free solid or powder-based cosmetic material having beneficial oil and wax characteristics without the detrimental effects thereof. The cosmetic material comprises pigments and/or pigment extenders which are surface treated with a hydrophobidizing material to become hydrophobic. The hydrophobidized cosmetic material is admixed with oil-free and wax-free binders in an aqueous slurry and then vacuum dehydrated and dried at an elevated temperature to provide the finished cosmetic product with excellent skin "feel", adhesiveness, extendibility, payoff (i.e., pickup of the product by an applicator) and uniformity characteristic of oil-containing cosmetics but without oil and its detrimental effects.

Abstract: An aqueous slurry for cosmetic products, which comprises particles of pigments and/or extender pigments having a lipophilic moiety attached to the surface thereof and a cosmetically acceptable oily material dispersed in a liquid suspending medium consisting essentially of water.

Abstract: A shank structure for holding an annular hole cutter used for drilling a large circular hole, comprising a hollow cylindrical body, a center drill inserted in the inner cavity of the body and clutch means for inhibiting and allowing relative motion between the body and the center drill. In normal or initial state, the body and the center drill are inhibited from their relative motion by the clutch means and, in drilling operation, a central guide hole is first drilled by the center drill. When the guide hole reaches a suitable depth, the clutch means is actuated to allow the relative motion between the body and the center drill and the center drill stops drilling and sinks into the inner cavity of the body. Then, the annular hole cutter secured to the body starts to drill a main hole and, upon completion of the main hole, the center drill is pushed out from the inner cavity by spring action and, at the same time, discharges a disc-shaped chip formed within the annular hole cutter.
