Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a clear or translucent composition which takes the form of a solid, a semi-solid or a viscous gel. The inventive composition contains a mixture of at least two amino acid-based gelatinizing agents, at least one polyamide resin, a non ionic, unsaturated fatty alcohol in an amount which reduces the dissolution temperature of the gelatinizing agents to allow processing at or below 115° C., an alkyl dimethicone, and an oil and/or a polymer component. Additional ingredients depending on the application may also be included in the clear or translucent composition. The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing the clear or translucent composition of the disclosure and uses thereof.

Abstract: Compositions are provided that provide release of fragrance over an extended period of time. The compositions comprise a hydrophilically-modified cross-linked silicone elastomer and an acrylic rheology modifier.

Abstract: Compositions comprising an organic sunscreen in combination with (i) nylon particles, (ii) silica particles, and (iii) barium sulfate particles provide an improvement in SPF as compared to an otherwise identical composition lacking any one of the three ingredients (i)-(iii). The compositions advantageously provide high diffuse transmittance, giving a natural look to the skin.

Abstract: There is a method for lengthening keratin fibers. The method has the steps of a) applying to the keratin fibers a composition having a solvent and one or more polymers soluble or solubilizable in the solvent b) allowing the solvent to evaporate. The composition is applied in an amount sufficient to lengthen the keratin fibers. There are also other methods for lengthening keratin fibers. There is also a mascara composition.

Abstract: Packaging for cosmetic products, such as mascara, are provided, including a container for holding a cosmetic composition and an applicator which is disposed within a cut-out portion of the container. The container includes a number of passages through at least one side such that a portion of the applicator is brought into contact with the passages when seated on the container. The applicator is adapted to seal the container when seated on the container. The applicator is further adapted to be removed from the container and pressed or squeezed onto keratinous fibers (e.g., eyelashes) of a user to apply the cosmetic product.

Abstract: Compositions comprising high amounts of low melting point waxes are provided in self-supporting solid or semi-solid form. The low melting point waxes are stabilized in the compositions by the presence of small amounts of higher melting wax. The compositions may provide a cooling sensation when applied to the skin.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a clear or translucent composition which takes the form of a solid, a semi-solid or a viscous gel. The inventive composition contains a mixture of at least two amino acid-based gelatinizing agents, at least one polyamide resin, a non ionic, unsaturated fatty alcohol in an amount which reduces the dissolution temperature of the gelatinizing agents to allow processing at or below 115° C., an alkyl dimethicone, and an oil and/or a polymer component. Additional ingredients depending on the application may also be included in the clear or translucent composition. The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing the clear or translucent composition of the disclosure and uses thereof.

The inventive composition contains a mixture of at least two amino acid-based gelatinizing agents, a non-ionic unsaturated fatty alcohol in an amount which reduces the dissolution temperature of the gelatinizing agents to allow processing at or below 100° C., an alkyl dimethicone, and an oil and/or a polymer component. Additional ingredients depending on the application may also be included in the clear or translucent composition. The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing the clear or translucent composition of the disclosure and uses thereof.

Abstract: A self-contained voltage generating system is incorporated in a package or device for housing a product. There is at least one piezoelectric element incorporated in the package or device and the piezoelectric element generates a source of voltage when it is activated. The voltage is then used to perform various activities on other elements that are part of the package or device, such as operate a motor, provide heat, provide ultrasonic energy, furnish light, provide acoustic energy, and provide vibration energy. The piezoelectric elements are in the form of discrete particles, piezoelectric fibers, filaments, transducers, and actuators.

Abstract: A post-application expanding composition for application to hair fibers of the scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes is provided. The composition comprises at least one surfactant, a solvent for the surfactant, and a volatile agent in an amount that will cause the surfactant and solvent to interact and foam on the hair fibers thereby producing an expanded composition. The composition further contains a film-forming agent in an amount effective to form a film which when set fixes at least a portion of the expanded composition in its expanded state. The volatile agent is solubilized in the composition, and is further dispersed throughout the composition in nanometer size droplets or generated in situ on the hair fibers or immediately prior to application thereto so that the composition is storable in a non-pressurized container.
