The present invention discloses petrolatum based composition containing silicone oils which are structured with specific blend and ratio of fatty acids.

Petrolatum based composition comprising greater than 10% silicone for improved feel while remaining stable

The invention relates to soap based liquid body and facial wash compositions. Using high solvent, low water compositions and incompletely neutralized fatty acid to help structure the compositions, all in combination with modified benefit agents, enhanced deposition of make-up agents is achieved.

Soap-based liquid wash formulations with enhanced deposition of make-up agents

The invention is directed to skin moisturizing compositions comprising an aminopeptide mixture. The composition replenishes the skins natural moisturization factor and delivers excellent sensory benefits. The composition is not unpleasantly viscous during and after application.

Moisturizing composition comprising an aminopeptide mixture

In-the-shower or in-the-bath compositions having a high internal phase emulsion are described. The high internal phase emulsion is a water-in-oil emulsion where active is present in the water phase. The compositions have an initial viscosity which is low and they are suitable to thicken when being applied in the presence of water.

In-shower and bath compositions

The present invention discloses silicone oils which are structured with a copolymer comprising a large percentage of alkane groups. Using high percentage pendant alkane helps provide silicone with ideal gel properties (G'&#x3e;G&#x2033;, particularly &#x3e;1000 cP, more preferably 2000-30,000 cP) and viscosity, after fracture, of 10 to 1000 cP, preferably 30-500 cP MW of polymer and exact chain length are selected to ensure that, when forming gel upon cooling after mixing polymer and silicone, the polymer viscosity will not be so high upon crystal formation that gel cannot form, yet also will not be so low that polymer will phase separate.

Composition comprising silicone oil or oils structured with compolymers carrying greater than 70% long chain alkyl group

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced delivery of benefit agent from a personal product bar carrying composition into which the premix is added. The use of structured benefit agent also enhances delivery of separate benefit agents in the premix (which may or may not be structured) and of separate benefit agents added separately from the premix.

Personal product bar compositions comprising crystalline wax structured premix or delivery vehicle

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which, when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced delivery of benefit agent from a carrying composition into which the premix is added. The use of structured benefit agent also enhances delivery of separate benefit agents in the premix (which may or may not be structured) and of separate benefit agents added separately from the premix.

Nonbar personal product compositions comprising crystalline wax structured benefit agent premix or delivery vehicle

The present invention relates to beauty wash bar compositions which deliver enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes. This is accomplished using specific deposition systems (where oil/emollient comprises part of deposition system) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles onto skin.

Beauty wash product bar compositions delivering enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes

The invention provides a method of reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range. The invention further relates to compositions comprising said surfactants and benefit agent(s) having reduced surfactant damage.

Method of reducing surfactant damage using compositions comprising benefit agents of defined high polarity

The invention provides a method selecting benefit agent(s) suitable for reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range.

Method of selecting benefit agents/oils suitable for reducing surfactant damage

The present invention relates to personal care liquid cleansing compositions comprising bacterially produced microfibrous cellulose (MFC) suspending polymers which have not previously been used in personal care compositions.

Liquid cleansing compositions comprising microfibrous cellulose suspending polymers

A base composition comprising a fatty acid and an organic base to form at least partially a fatty acid organic soap is suitable for preparing a skin care composition by addition of relatively cold water.

Method for preparing a cosmetic composition and cosmetic composition prepared by this method

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced deposition of hydrophilic benefit agents carried on, trapped within or in the presence of the structured benefit agent.

Personal product compositions comprising structured benefit agent premix or delivery vehicle and providing enhanced deposition of hydrophilic benefit agent

The present invention relates to compositions delivering enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes. These are delivered using specific deposition systems (where oil/emollient comprises part of deposition system) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles.

Beauty wash product compositions delivering enhanced visual benefits to the skin with specific optical attributes

A combination of a non-ionic tri-block poly-propylene-oxide, poly-ethylene-oxide alcohol ether surfactant coupled with block polymer poly(Butadiene-b-Ethylene Oxide) is an excellent surfactant phase to micro-emulsify sebum on contact. A method of micro-emulsification of sebum on contact with inventive compositions according to the present invention will form micro-emulsions which can enhance (1) deep pore cleansing of skin and (2) delivery of skin benefit actives into the skin.
