A semi-permanent colorant composition is provided that is exhibits excellent color deposit without heat or oxidative treatment, and resists fading throughout several washes.

The present invention relates to an oily dispersion (A) comprising i) at least one particle consisting of an ethylenic polymer, ii) at least one polymeric stabilizer comprising a (C.sub.9-C.sub.22)alkyl group, and iii) at least one hydrocarbon-based fatty substance which is liquid at 20° C. and 1 atmosphere. The invention also relates to a process for treating keratin materials, notably human keratin materials such as the skin or the hair, involving the application to said materials of at least one oily dispersion (A); to a process for preparing the oily dispersion, and to a multi-compartment kit comprising ingredients i) to iii).

The oily dispersion (A) and the process for treating keratin materials as defined above make it possible to obtain a treatment for said materials which is notably resistant to shampoo washing, to sebum, to sweat and/or to water, but also to fatty substances, notably dietary fatty substances such as oils.

Disclosed is a topical composition comprising: (i) an antimicrobial active which is at least one of hydroxamic acids or hydroxamic acid derivatives; and (ii) an atractylenolide compound; wherein weight ratio of the amount of said atractylenolide compound to that of said antimicrobial active is at least 5:1. Also disclosed is a non-therapeutic method of providing topical antimicrobial benefit on a topical surface of a human or animal body comprising a step of applying a safe and effective amount of the topical antimicrobial composition.

The present invention relates to a personal care composition at least comprising a biosurfactant and a hydrophilic cationic or pseudo-cationic active compound. The present invention also relates to a method of enhancing or facilitating a deposition of hydrophilic cationic or pseudo-cationic active compound onto keratinous materials, such as hair or skin.
