Abstract: A method of redirecting search queries from an untrusted search engine to a trusted search engine is a software application that is used to prevent personal information from being collected by untrusted search engines. The software application receives a search query URL for a desired search engine which corresponds to a search query. The search query is compared to a provided plurality of untrusted URL patterns in order to determine if the desired search engine can be trusted. If the search query URL is not found on in the plurality of untrusted URL patterns, the search is allowed to proceed. If the search query URL is found in the plurality of untrusted URL patterns, the search query is redirected to a trusted search engine. At least one trusted URL pattern is provided so that the search can be redirected to a trusted search engine.

Abstract: The invention encompasses additives for addition to a bodywash, where the additives contain one or more sunscreens, and where a bodywash which contains the additive imparts to the skin an SPF of at least about 2, in some cases at least about 5, or 10, or 15. Also described are methods of making and using the additives.

Abstract: The invention encompasses business methods that include supplying an additive for addition to a bodywash, or a bodywash containing such an additive, and receiving payment for the additive or bodywash, as well as encompassing business methods that include designing, testing, and marketing an additive for addition to a bodywash.

Abstract: The invention encompasses compositions containing sol-gel microcapsules that are highly positively charged. The sol-gel capsules generally contain additives. The invention also encompasses methods for producing highly charged microcapsules using cationic additives which can include cationic polymers. The methods allow for the encapsulation of polar or non-polar active ingredients.
