Abstract: The present invention relates to a shear-thinning or pseudoplastic cosmetic composition. Zeta potentials may be balanced such that a first ratio of the first zeta potential to the second zeta potential may be approximately 1:2. A second ratio of the first zeta potential to the third zeta potential may be approximately 1:2. And, a third ratio of the second zeta potential to the third zeta potential may be approximately 1:1. Balancing zeta potentials may ensure the shear-thinning cosmetic composition can dispense in its original viscous form and as a fine mist through a single device.

Abstract: Topical film forming compositions that are able to efficiently deliver active ingredients to keratinic surfaces in a timed release manner comprise a combination of acrylates copolymer and acrylates/VA copolymer, and a combination of propane-1,3 diol and glycerin. The sizes of the pores that develop in the dried film may be controlled or fine tuned.

Abstract: Mattifying single phase cosmetic compositions that are flexible and resistant to water below a selected temperature, 43° C. for example. The compositions wear well, are smudge and flake resistant, as well as oil resistant. Compositions according to the invention comprise specific combinations of acrylates/VA copolymer, acrylates copolymer and HDI/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer/silica in a cosmetically acceptable base or delivery vehicle. Compositions according to the invention are hydrophilic before application, but dry to a clear hydrophobic film. The dried film can be easily removed when scrubbed with water above a certain temperature, but not as easily removed with water below that temperature. The compositions are easy to manufacture, flexible and comfortable, and suitable for use on skin and hair.

Abstract: Single phase cosmetic adhesive compositions that are flexible and resistant to water below a selected temperature, 43° C. for example.

The ratio of acrylates/VA copolymer to acrylates copolymer is in the range of 15:1 to 25:1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a non-dairy frozen confectionery, the method comprising the steps of: 1) providing a grain based ingredient mix comprising plant syrup and having 20-40 wt. % solids, pasteurizing the grain based ingredient mix, fermenting the pasteurized grain based mix with a culture, and cooling the fermented grain ingredient based ingredient mix, and 2) providing a nut and/or seed based ingredient mix comprising 40-60 wt. % solids and 3) combining it with the cooled fermented grain based ingredient mix, and freezing while optionally aerating the combined grain and nut and/or seed based mixes, to form a frozen confectionery. The invention also relates to a non-dairy frozen confectionery comprising 3-20 wt. % grain fermented with Streptococcus thermophilus, and 4-40 wt. % seed and/or nuts.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a cosmetic or dermatologic composition comprising a plurality of multiparticulated particles, wherein the multiparticulated particles comprise a plurality of coated active ingredient particles, each coated particle comprising at least one active ingredient having a core and a coating thereon. The multiparticulated particles further comprise a plurality of uncoated active ingredient particles, the uncoated particles comprising at least one active ingredient having a core. In further embodiments, the coated particles and the uncoated particles have the same or different active ingredient cores. The present invention further provides a method of protecting skin or hair by applying the cosmetic composition according to the invention.

Abstract: A spray-on film forming composition is designed to work with another topical preparation, such as a conventional cosmetic foundation or skincare product. The film forming composition is in direct contact with the cosmetic or skincare product. The spray-on film forming composition may be applied underneath a topical preparation (as a primer), on top of a topical preparation (as a mask), or both, depending on the benefit conferred. The spray-on film forming compositions of the invention are able to improve wearability and removability, increase shine, and deliver active ingredients. They are very clear, flexible and comfortable.
