A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a triglyceride, a castor oil, glycerin, and a polyglyceryl ricinoleate. The composition is a vegetable sourced alternative to petrolatum and has been found to be an excellent moisturizing composition and delivering good skinfeel properties and lustre to skin.

Vegetable sourced petrolatum cosmetic

A cosmetic composition and method is herein described for sunless tanning to impart a glow/shiny effect on skin. The composition includes a sunless tanning agent and coated beads incorporating tan colored pigment. A colorant which imparts a color other than tan to the beads is distributed within the coating. The cosmetic composition provides to the skin an immediate tan via the disintegrated beads. Sunless tanning agent acts more slowly and eventually will replace the pigment effect. The coating with colorant prevents the formula undesirably from appearing tan. Instead a color such as white renders the formula more aesthetically pleasing and more in line with the visuals paradigm of a moisturizer rather than a foundation.

Self-tanning effects

A method and composition is provided for managing in-grown hair which involves applying to those areas malonic acid or a salt thereof in a carrier. The method and composition allows for comfortable shaving of skin by minimizing the problem of in-grown hair.

Methods and compositions useful to prevent in-grown hair arising from shaving

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a chemically modified starch which is preferably a hydroxypropyl di-starch phosphate or an acetylated di-starch adipate, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram. The composition has a silky sensory feel and exhibits a positive normal force, preferably ranging from about +0.5 to about +5 grams. The glycerin to chemically modified starch is present in a weight ratio ranging from about 100:1 to about 2:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Silky feel cosmetic emulsion chassis based on glycerin and chemically modified starch

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a copolymer which is preferably a C-Cacrylates crosspolymer, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram, wherein the composition has a normal force of from about +5 to about +50 grams thereby achieving a silky sensory feel on skin, the glycerin to copolymer being present in a weight ratio ranging from about 350:1 to about 10:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Silky feel cosmetic emulsion chassis

A personal care product is provided which includes a composition a quaternary ammonium salt wherein a cation of the salt is a dihydroxypropyltri(C&#x2013;Calkyl)ammonium monosubstituted polyol in a carrier. The cation should have a molecular weight no higher than about 450 and the salt have a Tno higher than about 10&#xb0; C. Particularly preferred are hydroxypropyltrimonium sorbitol salts. These salts operate as humectants to moisturize both in high and low relative humidity environments.

A disposable substantially damp cleansing article is disclosed having a cleansing composition impregnated onto a flexible substrate such as a non-woven cloth. The impregnated compositions include lathering surfactants and water, and a water-binding agent resulting in a composition having a water activity less than 0.977 but no lower than 0.001. Amounts of water range from greater than 15% to no higher than about 40% by weight of the total article. Speed of lather formation and foam volume increases within the window of the stated water activity and water range.

Damp cleansing wipe

A cosmetic cream cleansing composition is provided based on the presence of a silicate, a crosslinked carboxyvinyl polymer, a silicone copolyol sulfosuccinate and a carrier. The composition has a viscosity from about 20,000 to about 500,000 centipoise. The combination of components achieves a product of good viscosity, pleasant skinfeel, rich lather and phase stability.

Cosmetic cream cleanser

A foaming cosmetic product is provided packaged in a non-aerosol mechanical dispenser. The dispenser includes a container for holding a liquid composition, a dispensing head with a housing enclosing a pump mechanism and a screen material in the flow path to convert liquid composition into a foam, and a diptube for delivering liquid from the container to the dispensing head. The cosmetic composition is an opaque creamy, relatively non-viscous fluid, the creamy appearance imparted by a latex with suspended polymer particles compatible with the foaming mechanism.

Self foaming cosmetic product

A cosmetic composition is provided which includes an organic sunscreen agent, a water-insoluble polymeric powder of porous particles, and an aqueous system wherein pH is less than 7. The porous particles remove the tackiness normally associated with organic sunscreen agents and low pH systems thereby providing a resultant composition of excellent skinfeel.
