Provided herein is an oral care composition comprising a basic amino acid or a salt thereof in an amount of from 0.001 weight % to 0.08 weight % by total weight of the composition, and an orally acceptable carrier. The composition is effective in accelerating HSP 27 production in damaged tissues of the oral cavity and enhances repair of the damaged tissue.

Oral care composition

Portion of a container

Cosmetic compositions are disclosed which are made from a multi-component base made from at least three different components, which base exhibits a weight loss not exceeding 46% in a 24 hour period in a controlled environment with minimum air flow in a humidity chamber with a temperature of 35-40 degrees C. and 80% humidity; and a medium volatility fragrance, wherein a solubility parameter is calculated for each of the base and fragrance components are matched so that the difference between them is less than 38%.

Personal hygiene product with enhanced fragrance delivery

Disclosed is a solid cosmetic composition (e.g., a cream composition) containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent) and a silicone gel material. The silicone gel material includes (a) a volatile silicone material and (b) an organopolysiloxane material as a gelling agent, able to form a gel after being mixed with the volatile silicone material. The organopolysiloxane material can be a reaction product of a vinyl-terminated siloxane polymer and a hydride cross-linking agent. The composition can be formed by mixing the active cosmetic material and silicone gel material at ambient temperature. The compositions do not need particulate or clay thickeners or waxy gelling agents.

Cosmetic cream composition containing silicone gel material

Disclosed is a glycol-containing base gel composition having reduced skin irritation potential, in which a cosmetically active agent (e.g., deodorant active agent, sunscreen, antiperspirant active agent, etc.) can be incorporated to provide a cosmetic gel (e.g., soft gel or stick) composition. The gelling agent for the gel composition can be a soap. The base gel composition includes at least one glycol having a structure of the formula H(OC.sub.3 H.sub.6).sub.n OH, where n represents the number of repeating propylene oxide groups and ranges from 1-80, with the provisos that: (1) more than zero, and up to 100% by weight, of the glycol component, has n=3 or 4; (2) less than 20% by weight of the glycol component has n=1; (3) not more than 90% by weight of the glycol component has n=2; and (4) not more than 90% by weight of the glycol component has n greater than or equal to 5. The composition can further include a nonionic or anionic surface active agent as a clarifying agent, to provide a translucent or clear gel composition.
