A method of protecting the internal protein of hair from damage, comprising the step of applying, to the hair, a hair treatment composition comprising a lactone, a disaccharide, an inorganic salt and an organic acid or salt thereof, having a pH in the range of from 3 to 6.5, prior to the application of a damage insult to the hair, and a use of such a hair treatment composition, in the treatment of hair, to protect hair from damage.

Provided herein are methods, compositions, and kits for coating or coloring keratinous fibers, such as human hair. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a method of coating mammalian hair includes (a) providing an oil phase that includes at least one reactive condensation-curable film-forming amino-silicone pre-polymer, (b) after subjecting said oil phase to a pre-treatment duration to obtain a pre-treated oil phase, emulsifying the pre-treated oil phase with an aqueous phase that includes water, so as to obtain a pre-treated oil-in-water emulsion, (c) applying, on an external surface of individual hairs of the mammalian hair, the pretreated oil-in-water emulsion, (d) after partial condensation curing of said pre-polymer of the pre-treated oil-in-water emulsion has occurred so as to form an at least partially cured amino-silicone coat on the external surface of the individual hairs, optionally washing the hair.

Hair loss/gain and scalp changes are monitored using vehicle cameras and sensors of connected vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped with at least one camera which images the hair and scalp of a person riding in the vehicle. Each vehicle is operatively connected to a hair and scalp improvement application in a computing cloud which includes a registration module which registers each vehicle. Additionally, the person may register with the hair and scalp improvement application to have his/her hair and scalp analyzed when travelling in any of the registered vehicles. The hair and scalp improvement application is operatively connected to a hair and scalp data artificial intelligence (AI) analytics module and a data lake to search and analyze information related to the changes in the hair and scalp images. A hair and scalp treatment recommendation is transmitted to the person.

The present invention relates to combination of actives that provides synergistic preservative action especially for use in personal care compositions. The preservative system comprises a combination of sodium benzoate and a second active selected from benzhydroxamic acid or tricarballylic acid.

The invention relates to lamellar liquid composition comprising acyl isethionate, methyl acyl taurate, amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant. Unexpectedly, applicants have found that, when ratio of isethionate to taurate is kept at about to 1:1, enhanced lather is achieved. Other criticalities include ratio of amphoteric and/or zwitterionic to anionic surfactant, total amount of surfactant, and pH.

The present application pertains to the field of cosmetics, more specifically the field of antimicrobial and/or bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal cosmetic agents, preferentially acting on bacterial and/or fungal strains on the human epidermis. Proposed is a use of dianhydrohexitol, preferentially isosorbide, to reduce the number of bacterial or fungal strains on the skin, in particular in the cutaneous microbiome, causing acne, dandruff buildup and bad odors.

The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising azoxystrobin having a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of less than 1.0 ppm against Malassezia and at least a 4 times or greater MIC against Malassezia compared to strobilurins selected from the group consisting of pyraclostrobin, fluoxastrobin, dimoxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl, trifloxystrobin, or orysastrobin.

The present invention is directed to use of azoxystrobin to decrease the number of flakes on a surface; the use of azoxystrobin to decrease itch on a surface as perceived by a user; the use of azoxystrobin to decrease the level of myeloperoxidase on a surface as an indicator of decrease of oxidative stress and damage. The present invention is directed to the use of azoxystrobin wherein the azoxystrobin is applied from a personal care composition such as a shampoo, conditioner or leave on treatment.
