The instant disclosure generally relates to a bicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic keratin fibers, the bicomponent composition comprising first, second, components. The first component includes an organic polymer, the second component includes a pretreatment base compound. One or more of the components includes pigment microparticles. The bicomponent composition combines upon application to treated material such as hair, forms a solid coating thereon and has a substantially long color fastness following development (setting). Methods of using such compositions are also described herein.

Various solutions have been proposed for cancellation of brassy tones in hair strands. Formulations disclosed herein are natural alternatives to potentially damaging anti-brassy hair products. A temporary anti-brassy and restorative blue oil may hydrate and improve the texture of damaged, dry hair caused by bleaching or lightening processes. The blue pigments in this composition are configured to enhance an original salon color until the next salon visit.

The invention relates to biobased waxy esters which in particular in the form of wax dispersions bring about cloudiness and/or pearlescence in cosmetic cleansers. The invention further provides the use of the waxes in cosmetic compositions, the production thereof and the cosmetic compositions themselves.

Personal care devices (or apparatuses) are described to deliver/activate a bioactive compound/botanical compound/biologically active molecule (including a regulatory protein/growth factor) or a mixture of bioactive compounds/botanical compounds/biologically active molecules (including regulatory proteins/growth factors) for growth and protection of hair or rejuvenation and protection of skin, which utilizes nanoencapsulation/nanoemulsion and/or activation/photoactivation. Such devices (or apparatuses) utilize a light low intensity module/x-ray and nanooptical elements/three-dimensionally (3-D) printed micro/nanostructures. Furthermore, the personal care devices (or apparatuses) can be enhanced with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or augmented reality (AR) application (app).

The present invention is directed to a foaming composition comprising from about 5% to about 13% total surfactant of one or more anionic surfactants; from 0.1% to about 2% of a surfactant soluble antidandruff active; from about 3% to about 15% of a blowing agent, wherein the foaming composition is at a pH of about 3.5 to 6.5.

The present invention is in the field of antioxidants and relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably dermatological, compositions or homecare product comprising or consisting of a synergistic combination of a specific antioxidant and an effective amount of 1,2-heptanediol and/or 2,3-heptanediol or of a specific alkanediol or a mixture of two or more different specific alkanediols and the use of said compositions as a cosmetic, for personal care, as a pharmaceutical or homecare product, in particular for scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), for inhibition matrix metalloproteinases expression and/or for inhibiting interleukin 8 (IL-8) secretion. Additionally, the present invention relates to the use of 1,2-heptanediol and/or 2,3-heptanediol or of a specific alkanediol or a mixture of two or more different specific alkanediols for enhancing the antioxidative effect of an antioxidant in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably dermatological, composition or homecare product, and/or for enhancing the antioxidative effect of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably dermatological, composition upon application.

A composition having hair growth and/hair restoration effect that includes plasmalogen extracted from tissues of animal such as shellfish, sea squirt, and birds, and that can be used as external preparation or oral preparation.

Compositions and methods for reshaping keratin-rich substrates while forming adherent flexible films contain emulsified or soluble mixtures of silanols and hemiaminals or the reaction products of silanols and hemiaminals including silylated hemiaminals. A method for treating split-ends in hair is also described.

An oil-based composition for use in a rinse off or leave on hair product for protecting hair cuticles, the composition including a triglyceride carrier, squalene, a coconut oil-based alkane, melon seed oil, argan seed oil, and argan seed oil unsaponifiables. Using 0.001% to 25% of the composition in a rinse off/leave on product provides many improvements in the condition of hair, such as improving the hair moisture content; hair shine; reduction in flyaways; reduction in inter fiber friction; improved curl retention; improved hair smoothness; fill in/correction of hair cuticle defects; improved appearance of hair: increased hair break strength; and/or hair elasticity. The use of the 0.001%-25% of the composition can also prevent: the loss of hair moisture; the formation of split ends; the formation of cuticle gaps and voids; the loss of hair tensile strength; the loss of hair elasticity; hair breakage; and/or increase inter fiber friction.

The present invention relates to a multilayer type composition containing the following components (A) to (D):

(A) an inorganic powder,

(B) a cationic polymer,

(C) an alkaline agent, and

(D) a nonaqueous solvent.
