Method of product evaluation comprising the steps of applying at least one substance to a surface of an artificial substrate to form a substance-coated surface, wherein the substrate surface demonstrates at least one physical property selected from the group consisting of a total surface energy of from about 15 mJ/mto about 50 mJ/m, a polar component of the total surface energy of from about 0 mJ/mto about 15 mJ/m, a zeta-potential at a pH of about 5.0 of from about &#x2212;30 mV to about 30 mV, and combinations thereof, and performing at least one analysis of the substance-coated surface.

Methods of use of substrate having properties of keratinous tissue

A personal care composition is provided that comprises a hydrophilic liquid, a structurant for the hydrophilic liquid, a surface active, a lipid, and an aqueous phase. The lipid, hydrophilic liquid, structurant, and surface active are included in a lipid phase. The hydrophilic liquid, structurant, and surface active are connected to the lipid in the lipid phase. These compositions provide improved skin and/or hair moisturization, appearance, aesthetics and skin and/or hair conditioning during and/or after application, and are useful in providing improved deposition to the desired area of the skin and/or hair. A method of using the personal care composition is also provided.

Personal care compositions that deposit hydrophilic benefit agents

Article of manufacture comprising a substrate and a coating layer. The coating layer comprises at least one coating material, and is stably affixed to the substrate to form a stable, coated surface. The coated surface has a texture that mimics the topography of mammalian keratinous tissue and demonstrates at least one physical property representative of mammalian keratinous tissue, selected from the group consisting of a total surface energy of from about 15 mJ/mto about 50 mJ/m, a dispersive component of the surface energy of from about 15 mJ/mto about 50 mJ/m, a polar component of the total surface energy of from about 1 mJ/mto about 14 mJ/m, a zeta-potential at a pH of about 5.0 of from about &#x2212;40 mV to about 30 mV, and combinations thereof.

Coated substrate with properties of keratinous tissue

A method and apparatus are provided to quantify psychological and physiological components to measure acute stress in humans, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves multiple stress/relaxation intervals while physiological measurements are taken and 'measured,' and involves questionnaires that are answered after each of the intervals to 'measure' the test subject's psychological state. A computerized testing apparatus acquires the physiological measurements, and also is used by the test subject in answering the questionnaires. The &#x201c;stimulus&#x201d; can be a fragrance, flavor, product, or task, and a &#x201c;blank stimulus&#x201d; is normally used during one of the stress intervals.

Apparatus for measuring acute stress

The present invention relates to particle stabilizing compositions suitable for use in fabric care products, home care products, diapers, incontinence articles, feminine care products, pharmaceuticals, oral care products, antiperspirants, deodorants, personal cleansing products, skin care products and hair care products comprising: a) an emulsion comprising from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the emulsion of an internal phase and from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the emulsion of an external phase; b) a charged species that is present in the emulsion; and c) charged insoluble solid particles which are dispersed in the emulsion wherein the charged species possesses a charge which is opposed to that of the charged insoluble solid particles and wherein essentially all of the charged species and charged insoluble solid particles accumulate at the interface of the emulsion and wherein Brownian motion is not exhibited by the charged insoluble solid particles.

Emulsion compositions

A method is provided to quantify and/or qualify psychological and physiological components of stress in mammals, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves the steps of measuring one or more physiological and/or psychological characteristics before and after the administration of a stimulus to a test subject. The stimulus may consist of any product, task, aroma or the like that elicits a stress-related response upon administration. By analyzing the resulting measurements, and optionally comparing physiological and psychological characteristics where both are measured, an overall level of stress may be determined. The method of stress measurement may further be used in product development and/or testing.

The compositions of the present invention relate to personal cleansing compositions having from about 4% to about 50%, by weight, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric, and zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight of a dispersed, water insoluble solid particles or solid, temperature stable particles; from about 0.025% to about 5% by weight of an organic, non crosslinked, cationic homopolymer or copolymer having a cationic charge density of from about 2 meq/gm to about 10 meq/gm and an average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 5,000,000; from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight, of a phase separation initiator selected from the group consisting of electrolytes, amphiphiles and mixtures thereof; and from about 50% to about 95%, by weight, of water.

The present invention relates to compositions which modify the surface adhesion properties of a surface such as, tableware, cutting board, sinks and food preparation areas, generally

Surface adhesion modifying compositions

The present invention relates to compositions which modify the surface adhesion properties of a surface such as, tableware, cutting boards and food preparation areas generally.

The present invention relates to lipstick compositions which comprise thermodynamically association structures, preferably lamellar liquid crystals and/or reverse hexagonal liquid crystals, which are used to deliver polar solvent/moisturizers through a non-polar (lipophilic) medium. The association structures consist essentially of from about 3% to about 96%, by weight, of polar solvent (e.g. glycerine) and from about 4% to about 97% of surfactant having a Krafft point at or below about ambient temperature.

Lipsticks compositions containing association structures

Cosmetic make-up compositions

Wet-like cleaning wipes and similar articles that are particularly useful in removing perianal soils. These wipes comprise a carrier substrate such as tissue paper web and a emulsion applied to the substrate, wherein the emulsion comprises a continuous external lipid phase and a dispersed internal polar phase (e.g., water). The continuous external lipid phase of this emulsion is sufficiently brittle that it ruptures when subjected to low shear during use to release the dispersed internal polar phase.
