Wetting compositions can include water and a silicone-based softening agent. The softening agent can include a structure of: Gcan be —CHCHCH—(CHO)—H. Gcan be —CHCHCH—OCH—CH(OH)—CH—R. Rcan be selected from the group consisting of: —NH—(CH)—NH, —NH—(CH)—NH—(CH)—NH, N-piperidine, and N-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-piperidine.

Methods and products for maintaining a target pH range of an environment including at least one organism are provided. A method can include releasing a carbon source to the environment. A method can further include allowing the carbon source to be metabolized by the at least one organism and lower a pH of the environment. The method can also include releasing a nitrogen source to the environment. The method can additionally include allowing the nitrogen source to be metabolized by the at least one organism and increase the pH of the environment. The releasing of the carbon source to the environment and the releasing of the nitrogen source to the environment can be selectively timed to control the pH of the environment to the target pH range of the environment.

Methods and products for dynamic control of environments by selective metabolic function of microbes

Compositions for reducing skin aging are disclosed herein. The compositions can be topically applied to a skin region to reduce or prevent skin wrinkles, fine lines, thinning skin, sagging skin, skin dryness, and skin itchiness.

Multi-functional base emulsions that can be used to form a variety of cosmetic compositions are disclosed. In one aspect, a cosmetic emulsion can include a water phase including about 10% to about 67.5% water by total weight of the cosmetic emulsion. The cosmetic emulsion can also include an oil phase that includes (a) stearalkonium hectorite, and (b) a silicone alkyl polyether selected from the group consisting of: PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone, PEG/PPG-20/15 dimethicone, and Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone.

Multifunctional base emulsion

Cosmetic emulsions are disclosed that can remain stable even with relatively high salt based cosmetic astringent content. In one aspect, an emulsion can include a water phase including water and a rheology modifier including Microcrystalline Cellulose and Cellulose Gum. The emulsion can also include an oil phase comprising Steareth-2 and Glyceryl Stearate and an emulsifier selected from the group consisting of: Steareth-20, Steareth-21, and combinations thereof. The emulsion can include a salt based cosmetic astringent providing at least about 1.0% of the emulsion by weight.

Long-lasting fragrance delivery systems and uses of the systems to provide fragrance-emitting articles with a long-lasting fragrance are disclosed herein. The long-lasting fragrance delivery systems include an emulsion of silicone-based polyurethane, fragrance, and a carrier.

Long-lasting fragrance emitting article

A color-appearing ink composition includes a surfactant blend of at least two non-ionic surfactants having hydrophilic-lipophilic balance values greater than 10, or a non-ionic surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value greater than 10 and a charged surfactant. The composition includes one or more water-insoluble leuco dyes, a developer and a desensitizer. The composition may be applied to a substrate to form a sensor.

Water-based wetness-indicating composition and sensor

Wiping products, such as facial tissues, contain a temperature change composition that can provide a cooling sensation when contacted with the skin of a user. The temperature change composition is structured emulsion that may include a phase change material, a carrier, a surfactant, and a crystalline initiator. The phase change materials, in one embodiment, can have a relatively high heat of fusion. When undergoing a phase change, the temperature change composition absorbs heat and thereby provides a cooling feeling or cooling sensation to the skin of a user.

Temperature change compositions and tissue products providing a cooling sensation

The present invention relates to a single phase temperature management composition. The composition includes from 0.01% to 10% by weight of a neurosensory agent and from 0.01% to 30% by weight of an antiperspirant component. The composition also includes a polar carrier where the polar carrier includes water and monohydric alcohol. The ratio of water to monohydric alcohol ranges from 0.0625:1 to 1.5:1. The compositions of the invention have a viscosity at room temperature of less than 2500 centipoise.

Temperature management composition

An emulsion suitable for incorporation into wet wipes used to clean urine and fecal matter from the skin. The emulsion includes silicone oil and clay. Phase separation is prevented with an emulsification system that includes a gum blend and either a Gemini surfactant restrained to the oil phase or a glucoside-based emulsifier. The gum blend includes at least one gum and propylene glycol alginate.
