20080299237 | PERSONAL CARE COMPOSITION WITH COCOA BUTTER AND DIHYDROXYPROPYL AMMONIUM SALTS - A personal care composition is provided that when the composition is applied to the skin provides improved translucency to reveal a healthy skin color. The composition is based upon a mixture of dihydroxypropyl quaternary ammonium salt and cocoa butter. | 12-04-2008 |
20090155321 | COMPOSITIONS WITH ENCAPSULATED COLORING AGENTS AND METHOD TO IMPART A HEALTHY SKIN APPEARANCE - A cosmetic composition and method of imparting a healthy appearance to skin is provided which includes using a composition formed with about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of the composition of beads, from about 1 to about 80% by weight of the beads of a first coloring agent incorporated within a matrix of the beads, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, the composition having a hue less than 25°, the beads being coated and having an exterior color other than that of the first coloring agent. | 06-18-2009 |
20090155322 | SELF-TANNING EFFECTS - 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. | 06-18-2009 |
20090155373 | COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD WHICH IMPART A HEALTHY APPEARANCE TO SKIN - A cosmetic product and method of imparting a healthy appearance to skin is provided which includes using a composition formed with about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of the composition of beads, from about 1 to about 80% by weight of the beads of a coloring agent incorporated within a matrix of the beads, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, the composition being delivered from a package with instructions being printed on or associated with the package indicating topical use on skin to impart a healthy appearance, and wherein the skin with the applied composition has a reflectance in the range from 510 to 600 nm, and reflectance amplitude ratios at wavelength 510/540 nm ranging from 1.10 to 1.20 and at wavelength 600/580 nm ranging from 1.35 to 1.65. | 06-18-2009 |
20100145886 | Evaluation and Selection Process for Consumer Products - A product evaluation and selection process for consumer products is described. The process includes demonstrating the effectiveness of consumer product on consumer skin by comparing actual images of skin treated with product to images of skin that were artificially transformed. The process also includes the assignment of a symbol associated with a difference in product performance where the symbol may be used to aid consumers in selecting product. | 06-10-2010 |
20110091396 | SUNLESS TANNING COMPOSITION INSURING EFFECTIVE APPLICATION TO SKIN - A sunless tanning composition is provided with from 0.1 to 40% of a C | 04-21-2011 |
20110142305 | TARGETED IMAGE TRANSFORMATION OF SKIN ATTRIBUTE - Targeted attribute transformation involves obtaining a digital image of the skin, selecting an individual skin attribute (an imperfection, such as a blemishes, pores, or wrinkles), extracting the individual skin attribute from the digital image by linear digital filtering on all the color channels, to obtain a contrast map in all three channels of the individual attribute, and adding or subtracting a fraction of the contrast map to the initial image, to obtain the skin image with transformed selected skin attribute. | 06-16-2011 |
20140052003 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RADIATION SOURCE VARIABILITY FOR OPTICAL GAS MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS - An infrared detector includes a radiation source configured to emit electromagnetic radiation. The detector includes a source monitoring apparatus configured to generate output signals ( | 02-20-2014 |
20140339218 | STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND PROCESS TO IMPROVE THE TEMPERATURE MODULATION AND POWER CONSUMPTION OF AN IR EMITTER - An infrared emitter is formed having a reduced thermal mass and increased thermal conductivity to effectively deliver and dissipate heat from a heating element that emits electromagnetic radiation. The improved thermal dynamic process may enhance one or both of power consumption and/or longevity. | 11-20-2014 |
