A pilling-resistant cosmetic composition is in the form of an oil in water emulsion that includes a water phase and an oily phase, and includes at least one cosmetically acceptable polymeric thickener selected from the group consisting of crosspolymers, gums, taurate based polymers, carbomers, polyacrylates, and combinations thereof, at least one ethoxylated agent in liquid form at ambient temperature in a range from about 20° C. to about 28° C. and has an HLB from about 8.5 to about 16; and at least one oil. The pilling-resistant cosmetic composition resists pilling when applied by rubbing or smoothing on a keratinous substrate.

Cosmetic composition that resists pilling

A hydroglycolic cosmetic composition includes at least one or a combination of skin actives comprising at least one of ascorbic acid, a cinnamic acid derivative, Vitamin E, or a combination of these, and a glycol or combination of glycols selected from the group consisting of: dipropylene glycol, pentylene glycol, hexylene glycol, a combination of dipropylene glycol and pentylene glycol, and a combination of dipropylene glycol and hexylene glycol. The composition demonstrates stability of solubility of the actives at temperatures in the range from about 5° C. to about 45° C. and at a pH that is in the range from about 3.0 to about 3.5, all over a time period up to at least about 4 days or more.

Hydroglycolic cosmetic composition with a high active content

The present disclosure relates to an aqueous micellar liquid composition that include an amphoteric surfactant, an alkyl glucoside and a specific preservative system. In particular, the compositions include: a) an amphoteric surfactant; b) an alkyl glucoside and c) sodium benzoate. The compositions are low foaming upon rubbing and stable.

Color- and clarity-stable natural micellar water

The instant disclosure relates to oil-in-water compositions comprising: (i) compound of thiopyridinone type; (ii) a blend of natural emulsifiers; wherein the oil-in-water cosmetic composition is physically stable.

A self-foaming cleansing composition are provided. The self-foaming composition includes a) from about 0.5% to about 10% wt. % of one or more volatile silicone oils; b) from about 0.5% to about 25% wt. % of one or more surfactants stable at low pH; c) from about at least 1.2% of one or more polymers with suspending properties; d) from about 0.5% to about 5% wt % of one or more thickeners; e) from about 0.5% to about 15% wt. % of one organic acid as cosmetic active ingredient; the self-foaming cleansing composition having a pH in between about 3.4 and 5; the self-foaming cleansing composition starting to foam immediately after application of the compositions onto the skin; wherein the foaming cleansing composition is free of perfluoro compound; and wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the self-foaming cleansing composition.

Acid perfluoro-free self-foaming facial cleanser composition

A self-foaming cleansing compositions are provided. The self-foaming cleansing composition includes a) of one or more volatile silicone oil; b) one or more surfactants; and c) one or more polymers with suspending properties. The self-foaming cleaning composition is free of perfluoro compound.

Perfluoro-free self-foaming facial cleanser composition

A cosmetic composition and a method for forming a water resistant cosmetic composition are disclosed. The composition includes a salt activatable component combination having a holoside compound and an alginate compound. The composition also includes at least one cosmetic active agent. The composition has an increased salt water resistance when the salt activatable component combination is activated by a salt activator compared to a composition without said salt activatable component combination.

Salt activatable water resistant cosmetic composition

The present disclosure relates to compositions that protect the skin and hair from extreme heat (external thermal flux). The compositions include: (a) laponite; (b) one or more UV filters; (c) one or more emulsifiers; and (d) water. The compositions are useful in cosmetic, industrial, and military technologies. For instance, the compositions are useful in methods for protecting skin from intense external thermal flux (e.g., fires and explosives). When applied to the hair, the compositions are useful in methods for protecting the hair from heat damage caused by, for example, hair dryers, curling irons, straightening irons, etc.

Heat-protective compositions and methods of use

The present disclosure relates to sunscreen compositions that are unique in simultaneously protecting skin from heat in while blocking UV radiation. The sunscreen compositions typically include: (a) laponite; (b) one or more UV filters; (c) one or more emulsifiers; and (d) water. The sunscreen compositions are useful for protecting skin from UV damage caused by sun exposure and for preventing heat from reaching the skin. Furthermore, the present disclosure describes methods for using laponite to boost the SPF of sunscreen compositions.
