The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising from about 15% to about 22% of one or more sulfate free surfactants; from about 0.1% to about 10% of one or more scalp active; from about 0.1% to about 1.2% of a cationic polymers having a molecular weight in the range of 50,000 to less than or equal to 1.8 million and a charge density of about 0.5 to about 1.7 meq/g, from about 0.1% to about 1.2% of a rheology modifier and having a pH of about 5 to about 7 and having a viscosity of >about 5000 cps.

Method for colouring hair comprising pretreating the hair with at least one primer composition before treating the hair with a polymeric hair colouring system.

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing human keratin fibres, such as the hair, which is free of oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen and which is in cream form, comprising: (a) at least one oxidation dye precursor; (b) at least one ionic surfactant; (c) at least one oil; (d) optionally at least one solid fatty alcohol in a content of not more than 0.5% by weight relative to the weight of the composition; (e) at least one thickening polymer. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing human keratin fibres, in which this composition is applied to the said fibres, in the presence of at least one oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen, and also to a multi-compartment device that is suitable for performing this process.

It is an object of the present invention to suppress agglutination of ultrafine cellulose fibers, while using the ultrafine cellulose fibers as a thickener in a cosmetic product formulation, so as to provide a uniform cosmetic. The present invention provides a cosmetic comprising the following components (A) and (B): (A) ultrafine cellulose fibers having a fiber width of 1000 nm or less; and (B) a water-soluble polymer.

A hair care product comprising 100% plant derived, biodegradable solid granules that sustain beneficial essential oils or herbal extracts that emulsify in water to create an emulsified therapeutic solution is disclosed. The hair care product improves over existing liquids in that its solid granule form is completely plant derived and biodegradable and can sustain essential oils and antioxidants without the requirement of chemical preservatives, and can be packaged in eco-friendly water soluble film and compostable paper. It improves over existing solid forms in that it is a 100% water soluble granule that emulsifies easily in water to form an easy to use liquid product.

A microcapsule composition useful in delivering an active material contains an oil core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the oil core. The microcapsule has a zeta potential of 10 mV or greater, the microcapsule wall is formed of an encapsulating polymer, and the oil core contains an active material. Also disclosed are consumer products containing such a microcapsule.

Method for colouring hair comprising pretreating the hair with at least one primer composition before treating the hair with a polymeric hair colouring system.

Antimicrobial cationic polymers having one or two cationic polycarbonate chains were prepared by organocatalyzed ring opening polymerization. One antimicrobial cationic polymer has a polymer chain consisting essentially of cationic carbonate repeat units linked to one or two end groups. The end groups can comprise a covalently bound form of biologically active compound such as cholesterol. Other antimicrobial cationic polymers have a random copolycarbonate chain comprising a minor mole fraction of hydrophobic repeat units bearing a covalently bound form of a vitamin E and/or vitamin D2. The cationic polymers exhibit high activity and selectivity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive microbes and fungi.
