wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be independently selected from hydrogen, a linear or branched substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and A.sup.n+ is a cationic species or polymer and n is an integer equal or greater than 1 with the proviso that A.sup.n+ is not an acidic hydrogen; and optionally further comprising ammonium carbamate (H.sub.2NR.sub.1R.sub.2.sup.+−OC═ONR.sub.1R.sub.2). The crosslinkable coating composition can be used for a variety of coating applications including nail coating compositions.

Photoprotective compositions comprising a dibenzoylmethane derivative, a merocyanine compound and a compound capable of accepting the triplet excited level energy of the dibenzoylmethane compound

The present invention relates to a photoprotective composition for topical use comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative compound, at least one merocyanine compound and at least one compound capable of accepting the triplet excited level energy of said dibenzoylmethane derivative compound(s).

The invention also relates to the use of at least one compound capable of accepting the triplet excited level energy of said dibenzoylmethane derivative compound(s), for photostabilizing with respect to UV radiation a composition comprising at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative compound and at least one merocyanine compound.

Suggested is a preservative mixture with improved solubility comprising or consisting of (a) 4-isopropyl-3-methylphenol; (b) at least one hydrophilic solvent having a log P.sub.o/w of 1.2 or below; and (c) at least one lipophilic solvent having a log P.sub.o/w of above 1.2.

The present invention relates to a process for reshaping keratin fibers, preferably hair, comprising the steps of: (i) applying onto the keratin fibers a composition comprising (a) at least one diol selected from C.sub.4-5 diols, wherein the composition has a pH of from 8.0 to 13.5, preferably from 8.5 to 12.0, and more preferably from 9.0 to 11.0; (ii) heating the keratin fibers; and (iii) optionally rinsing and/or drying the keratin fibers. The present invention can reshape keratin fibers without reducing and oxidizing the keratin fibers, and can provide superior reshaping efficiency, such as strong wave intensity and many curls.

The disclosure provides, inter alia, formulations comprising cerium (III) carbonate, and processes for producing cerium (III) carbonate. In embodiments, the disclosure provides methods for passivating photodegradation of organic compounds using cerium (III) carbonate.

This present invention relates to a pre-packaged set of oil infused moisturizer sheets that can be used to transfer the oils to a selected area of the body. The moisturizer sheets are infused with different types of oils such as castor oil, almond oil, essential oils, coconut oil, and more. The sheets can be applied multiple times a day to help moisturize user's skin and can be stored in a protective storage case to keep the sheets fresh while offering a simple and convenient method for transporting the sheets. The protective storage case is reusable and can be refilled with a replenishment set of infused moisturizer sheets.

Oral care compositions comprising stannous ion source, neutral amino acid, and polyphosphate are provided for improved efficacy to help inhibit biofilm formation or help disrupt biofilm.

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.
