Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for the treatment of macular edema, in particular that results from central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes, or eye surgical procedures. The composition strengthens retinal health through the prevention, stabilization and/or treatment of macular edema. The composition can include polyphenolic compounds extracted from natural plants, an alpha lipoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and ubiquinone.

Abstract: Stable, clear, antiperspirant microemulsions containing cosmetic oils, antiperspirant salts, and water and combinations of cationic quaternary ammonium salt are provided. These microemulsions can be used in different types of applicators such as roll-on, sponge, mousse, pad, brush, gel and aerosol or non-aerosol spray applicators.

Abstract: An water-in-oil hair relaxing composition comprising:

Abstract: The present invention relates to a leave-on or rinse-out hair conditioning or styling aid composition that comprises: a) a silicone quaternary compound, b) a cationic thickener, and c) a carrier, wherein said carrier is water, or a hydroalcoholic solvent; and wherein said composition is substantially lacking in fatty alcohol.

Abstract: A composition which is: A.) A hair care composition which is a high internal phase water-in-oil emulsion which comprises: (I) an oil phase which further comprises i.) a mixture of non-volatile and volatile silicone oils, and ii.) a silicone surfactant; and (II) which comprises an aqueous phase; and which substantially lacks a fatty alcohol; and B.) A skin care composition which is a high internal phase water-in-oil emulsion which comprises: (I) an oil phase which further comprises i.) a mixture of non-volatile and volatile silicone oils, and ii.) a silicone surfactant; and (III) which comprises an aqueous phase.

Abstract: A clear emulsion and gel-type cosmetic composition, and in particular to an antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition which comprises a water-in-oil emulsion comprising: a) about 65% to about 75% of an aqueous solution of an effective amount of antiperspirant active; b) about 25% to about 35% of an oil phase consisting of silicones, emollients and a silicone emulsifying agent, and comprising at least one volatile silicone, at least one non-volatile ester or at least one nonvolatile silicone, and wherein at least one oil phase soluble ingredient has a refractive index of about 1.40 to about 1.45; c) about 0.01 to about 8.5% of a coupling agent; and d) at least one polymeric ethylene oxide glycol adduct which component raises the refractive index of said aqueous solution, and optionally another water soluble, non-simple glycol component which raises the refractive index of said aqueous solution; wherein said composition is essentially free of glycols and low and middle chain alcohols; is described.

Abstract: Structured, antiperspirant microemulsions possibly in the form of liquid crystals, containing cosmetic oils, a solution of antiperspirant salt in a hydrophilic solvent, a surfactant and an oil structurant are provided. These microemulsions can be used in different types of Solid applicators such as soft solid and, particularly desirably, firm stick applicators. The structured microemulsions are preferably clear by virtue of a suitable choice of oil, solvent and structurant.
