Silicone-free compositions including hydrocarbons of widely different structures and origins combined with coated particles are provided which have both aesthetic and volatility properties similar to cyclopentasiloxane dispersions. The compositions are useful as full or partial replacement products for dispersions of cyclopentasiloxane, or 'volatile silicones.' The compositions are useful in UV-attenuating formulations including skin care products, color cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and especially sun care products such as sunblocks, sunscreens, tanning lotions, and the like.

Cosmetic compositions utilizing a silicone-free hydrocarbon complex

Non-silicone-based compositions including hydrocarbons of widely different structures and origins are combined into single, stable, homogenous products with both aesthetic and volatility properties similar to a cyclopentasiloxane. The combinations are useful to cosmetic formulators as full or partial replacement products for cyclopentasiloxanes, or 'volatile silicones.'

Silicon-free hydrocarbons providing aesthetic volatility

A flexible capsule formed from a modified starch free of animal based gelatin. The invention provides a novel capsule defining a closed interior chamber, the capsule being formulated from a composition which is free of animal based gelatin comprising at least one plant based starch having been modified to have gelatin like properties; and a paint ball formulation, drug, vitamin, perfume or bath product contained within the capsule.

Flexible gelatin free encapsulation material useful for pharmaceuticals, paint balls and other formulations

Disclosed are fill compositions suitable for carrying pigment and encapsulation within gelatin capsules comprising:
