Agents for temporarily changing the color of keratinous fibers, in particular human hair, include in an aqueous cosmetic carrier—relative to the total weight of the agent—(a) at least 20 wt % one or more aliphatic and/or aromatic alcohols having 2 to 8 C atoms, (b) at least one color pigment and (c) at least one non-ionic polyalkoxylated silicone, wherein the total amount of the fatty substances (d) included in the agent is at a value below 2.5 wt %.

A dye kit comprising: (A) a dyeing composition (A) and (B) a pyrazolone composition (B) comprising a retarding combination of pyrazolone compound and a reducer.

Water-soluble refill dose articles for forming a cleanser have a water-soluble film defining a first compartment enclosing a first composition and a second compartment enclosing a second composition, which are individual separate articles or are part of an integral article. The first composition has a rheology modifier, a first surfactant, 10% or less by weight water, 20% or less by weight glycol, and the first surfactant does not activate the rheology modifier. The second compartment has an alkaline substance that when mixed with the first composition and water activates the rheology modifier to increase the viscosity of a resulting cleanser and 10% or less by weight water. When the article is diluted in water at a 1:1 to 1:20 ratio, it produces a cleanser having a viscosity within a range of 2000 cps to 50,000 cps.

The present invention relates to a process for making up the skin, including the step that consists in forming, on a deposit of a foundation composition applied to the skin, a discontinuous deposit of islets of corrective composition and/or a deposit of corrective composition including visible substances that give it an inhomogeneous appearance, said corrective composition having optical properties that locally modify the appearance of the makeup so as to create a pattern reproducing the appearance of skin relief and/or colour heterogeneities.

The present invention a device for dispensing a composition, comprising: i) a dispensing head (1) intended to be fitted on a container that contains said composition, comprising: a body (3) that is open at its two opposite axial ends, an engaging part (10) that is open at its two opposite axial ends, at least partially defining at least one dispensing orifice (12), the cross section of the dispensing orifice being between 0.02 mm.sup.2 and 0.5 mm.sup.2, ii) the anhydrous composition comprising, in particular in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) at least one oily phase comprising at least one volatile hydrocarbon-based oil, and b) at least one clay, and c) at least one deodorant active agent, and d) at least one propellant. The present invention also relates to a method for the cosmetic treatment of body odor and optionally of human perspiration, which consists in applying to the surface of a keratin material a composition as defined above by means of the dispensing device defined above.

A kit for the production of an antimicrobial foam includes: a) a liquid composition which includes a1)one or more bispyridinium alkane and a2)one or more surfactants selected from non-ionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and cation-active surfactants, wherein the composition is formulated so that a foam can be produced therefrom, and b) a device for producing the foam from the composition. By using the bispyridinium alkanes the foam stability of liquid and surfactant-containing compositions is increased.

What are proposed are aqueous surfactant compositions comprising one or more of each of alpha-sulfo fatty acid disalts, sulfo ketones, alkyl (ether) sulfates, soaps, inorganic salts of sulfuric acid and water, where the structures of the compounds mentioned and boundary conditions that are to be observed can be found in the patent claims. These compositions have good foaming ability and pleasant sensory properties of the foam and good skin compatibility and they are suitable for cosmetic agents as well as detergents and cleaner.

Cosmetic composition for cosmetic treatment of keratinous fibers, comprising: (a) from about 0.1 to about 5.0 wt % fibers (b) from about 5.0 to about 19 wt % ethanol (c) from about 78 to about 94 wt % propellant.

A synthetic multiphase product comprising BsIA is presented. Methods of producing a synthetic multiphase product comprising BsIA, and applications of BsIA in synthetic multiphase products are also presented.

Disclosed is a cosmetic product comprising a) a cosmetic preparation that has a viscosity of 5,000 to 1,000,000 mPas and contains, in relation to the total weight of the preparation, a1) 60 to 98 wt % of at least one polar solvent; a2) 0.01 to 10 wt % of at least one thickener; b) a device for flash evaporating cosmetic preparation a). Also disclosed are a method using corresponding products and the use of cosmetic preparation a) as a process material in a flash evaporation device.
