The apparatus and method of the present invention provides a process that can be implemented by a human operator and a computing device to analyze and display human skin images. The system acquires a digital image from a camera or scanner. Subsequently, the system determines which area(s) of the image to analyze using landmarks such as the corner of the eye. The determined areas are then analyzed to locate skin defects such as red spots, and the defects are visually identified on a display. A severity is calculated for the defects and the severity is compared to an average skin severity associated with a population of people. In addition, a simulation is generated and displayed showing an improvement to the defect areas.

Skin imaging and analysis systems and methods

The invention is a water-in-oil emulsion film forming foundation having a synergistic combination of about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of a water soluble or water dispersible film forming polymer, as well as about 0.5% to about 35% by weight of the composition of one or more plasticizing solvent(s). Both the polymer and solvent(s) combined together in the aqueous phase are in a cosmetically acceptable carrier providing suitable feel and appearance during application, as well as excellent wear and appearance benefits after application. Yet this film forming foundation provides a flexible, light feel that resembles other foundations, and is easily removed with soap and water.

Film forming foundation

The present invention relates to shampoo compositions comprising at least about 0.1% of a water insoluble anti-inflammatory agent, from about 5% to about 40% of a synthetic surfactant and water.

Shampoo compositions comprising water-insoluble particulate

Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific critical pH, and, preferably, a relatively high level of available chlorine, buffered with trisodium phosphate, containing a tripolyphosphate or pyrophosphate sequestering builder, and having a relatively high level of surfactant. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and organic builders and preferably contains 2.0r alkali metal silicate and/or a preferred C.sub.17 -C.sub.19 polyethoxylate surfactant.

Alkaline dishwasher detergent

An aqueous emulsion comprising a fatty alkyl ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a cationic surfactant provides a fabric softening composition of unexpected efficacy. In particular, the use of a sorbitan ester with a cationic surfactant provides a softening agent which deposits effectively onto fabric from an aqueous bath.
