A formulation for the treatment of hair, in particular for treatment of hair loss and dandruff, useful as a lotion and/or a spray. The formulation comprises at least dates, date seeds, and ethanol from fermented dates and date seeds.

A hair care composition providing improved in-use wet feel. The composition can contain from about 20% to about 45%, by weight, of a detersive surfactant, from about 0.01% to about 2.5%, by weight, of a cationic synthetic polymer, and from about 0.01% to about 2.5%, by weight, of a cationic guar polymer. The hair care composition can produce a final rinse friction of from about 600 gf to about 2000 gf and a delta final to initial from about 100 gf to about 600 gf. The hair care composition can be applied to the hair when it is dispensed from an aerosol foam dispenser as a foam.

The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising from about 10% to about 25% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.1% to 10% of sulfur; wherein the sulfur has a mean particle size (D50) of from about 5 μm to about 150 μm; from about 0.05% to about 10% of one or more stabilizing polymers; and from about 0.01% to about 4% of a suspending wax.

The invention relates to an absorbent effect pigment including a nonmetallic substrate in platelet form and a coating applied thereto, wherein the coating includes at least one spacer layer. The invention further relates to a process for production of and to the use of the absorbent effect pigment.
