A purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic having a fresh feeling in use like that of a skin-care cosmetic such as a milky lotion, while also allowing titanium oxide or zinc oxide, which are ultraviolet scattering agents, to be stably blended into the oil phase, and also providing excellent sunscreen effects. The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic characterized by comprising (A) an ultraviolet scattering agent having a hydrophobic surface; (B) a water-soluble alkyl-substituted polysaccharide derivative; (C) a higher alcohol; and (D) a non-ionic surfactant. The emulsion cosmetic of the present invention preferably has a viscosity, measured by a B-type viscometer at 30° C., of 12,000 mPa.Math.s or lower.

The hand sanitizer may be a hand foam sanitizer or a hand gel sanitizer. Each of the hand sanitizers includes at least one stabilizing agent, at least one skin care agent, and a volume of disinfecting micelle capsules suspended therein. Each disinfecting capsule has a polymer shell which defines a hollow core. The polymer shell includes an antimicrobial material. The antimicrobial material may have a concentration of between 0.5 wt % and 95 wt % of the polymer shell. In order to make the hand foam sanitizer, at least one foaming agent is added to produce a foam by air foaming. The hollow core of each disinfecting capsule may be filled with a material, such as at least one disinfectant, at least one fragrance, at least one supplemental skin care agent, or combinations thereof.

The present invention relates to a composition, notably a cosmetic composition, in particular for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, in the form of an oil-in-water emulsified gel, comprising retinol, di-t-butyl pentaerythrityl tetrahydroxycinnamate, at least one ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid salt, at least 11% by weight of at least one polyol, relative to the total weight of the composition, at least one hydrophilic gelling agent, at least one derivative of polyethylene glycol and of mono-, di- and tri-glycerides of an acid including at least one C.sub.6 to C.sub.16 alkyl chain, and containing at least two ethylene oxide groups, at least one nonvolatile ether oil containing from 10 to 40 carbon atoms, and at least one nonvolatile monoester oil.

A process is provided for dyeing keratinous material. The process includes (1) providing an agent (a) that includes (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer and (a2) at least one colorant compound. The process further includes (2) providing an agent (b) that includes (b1) water and (b2) at least one fat component. The method includes (3) preparing an application mixture by mixing agents (a) and (b) and (4) applying the application mixture to the keratinous material. Further, the method includes (5) exposing the application mixture to the keratinous material and (6) rinsing the application mixture with water.

The invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibers, preferably the hair, comprising at least the steps consisting in: a) applying to said keratin fibers a composition containing at least one substance chosen from fatty substances, non-silicone polymers and surfactants, b) applying a mechanical tension to said keratin fibers, and c) exposing said keratin fibers under mechanical tension to microwaves, at a pressure ranging from 50,000 to 250,000 Pa, in the presence of at least one solvent in vapor form on contact with the keratin fibers and without there being complete drying of the keratin fibers throughout the entire exposure to the microwaves, the solvent(s) in vapor form being entirely generated by evaporating at least one compound present, before emission of the microwaves, on contact with the keratin fibers, step a) taking place prior to step c).
