Abstract: Disclosed is a cosmetic composition comprising (i) 0.5 to 20 wt % of an organic sunscreen; and (ii) 2 to 60 wt % of a blend comprising a silicone elastomer gel of the Formula (I) and a non-silicone solvent selected from a hydrocarbon, an oil, a modified oil, an ester, an ether, an alcohol or a mixture thereof; wherein the composition comprises less than 1 wt % volatile silicone solvent.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for constructing a digital rock, and relates to the technical field of digital rocks. According to the method, a three-dimensional (3D) digital rock image that can reflect real rock information is obtained using an image scanning technology, and the image is preprocessed to obtain a digital rock training image for training a generative adversarial network (GAN). The trained GAN is stored to obtain a digital rock construction model. The stored digital rock construction model can be directly used to quickly construct a target digital rock image. This not only greatly reduces computational costs, but also reduces costs and time consumption for obtaining high-resolution sample images. In addition, the constructed target digital rock image can also reflect real rock information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a photo-protective personal care composition, especially to one that provides enhanced stability of a UVA sunscreen of the dibenzoylmethane class when a UVB sunscreen of the cinnamic acid class is also present. This has been achieved by entrapping the UVA sunscreen in a matrix comprising a specific silica and a specific silicone and combining this with a UVB sunscreen being entrapped in a gel made of a silicone elastomer and a volatile silicone.
