The present invention relates to a hair cosmetic containing the following components (A) to (D): (A) an interference pearl pigment, (B) other pigment than the component (A), (C) a film-forming polymer, and (D) a nonaqueous solvent,
wherein the total content of the component (A) and the component (B) is 2.0% by mass or more and 12.0% by mass or less; a mass ratio [(A)/{(A)+(B)}] of the component (A) to the total content of the component (A) and the component (B) is 0.30 or more and 0.96 or less; a mass ratio [(C)/{(A)+(B)}] of the component (C) to the total content of the component (A) and the component (B) is 0.5 or more and 2.4 or less; and the content of water is 40% by mass or less.

A method of treating a material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an alpha-substituted aldehyde.

A method of treating a material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an alpha-substituted aldehyde.

Hair treatment products comprising, in relation to its weight, from about 0.001 to about 20% by weight of at least one alpha-substituted aldehyde and from about 0.001 to about 50% by weight of at least one amino-functional silicon, which lead to improved structural reinforcement of keratin fibers and improved hair care, and which reduce or prevent color washout in dyed hair.

There are provided odorless shea based esters as an ingredient composition comprising: a) 81-97 wt % of at least one short chain alcohol alkyl ester, at least partially from a natural source, b) 3-19 wt % of triterpene esters where at least one is a cinnamic triterpene ester, and c) 1100 ppm or less of at least one short chain alcohol cinnamic ester. There is further provided a method of manufacturing the composition comprising a deodorization step. An advantage is that an odourless or an almost odourless composition can be provided.

The present invention relates to propanediol monoacetate mononitrate as well as the use thereof as antimicrobial agent, in particular for cosmetic applications.

A water based composition contains a sugar based delivery system, coemulsifiers, a positively charged molecule, oil, optional auxiliary materials, and optional lipophilic active ingredients. The composition is encapsulated to be used in personal care products including cosmetics. The composition is penetrating into the skin and is, depending on the active included, able to stabilize the substance and reduce its irritation potential.

The current application discloses a composition that comprises at least one peptide with a sequence length of 6-12 amino acids, where 2-5 of those amino acids are cysteines for the treatment and cosmetics of animal hair, in preference human hair. There are several hair styling methods that involve breakage and reestablishment of disulfide bonds, allowing relaxation and straightening of the hair. However, the most effective methods currently used to modulate hair contain harmful chemicals. Thus, there is a constant demand for formulations that efficiently model the hair fiber without damage. Thus, the present invention aims to provide a composition for treatment of the hair, including animal and human hair, without the use of chemicals harmful to the hair fiber and consumer health and uses of said compositions in shampoo, lotion, serum, cream, conditioner, foam, elixir, oil, aerosol or mask.
