Disclosed is a self-invertible inverse latex having an aqueous phase, including: a) a cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte (P) including: —at least one first monomer unit derived from at least one monomer selected from the elements of the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-carboxyethyl acrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, 3-methyl 3-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]butanoic acid, the carboxylic function of the monomers being in the free, partially salified or totally salified acid form; and —at least one monomer unit derived from a polyethylenic cross-linking monomer (AR); b) ethylenediamine disuccinic acid in the form of trisodium salt.

The invention relates to a method for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres, such as the hair, comprising a stage of application of a composition comprising at least one metal compound, the metal of which belongs to the group of the rare earth metals, and then a stage of application of a shampoo comprising at least one surfactant.

A natural edible shampoo and preparation method thereof, the components comprises fatty acyl lactyl-lactic acid, arginine, vegetable oleic acid monoglyceride, plant phospholipid, ε-polylysine, ethyl lauroyl arginate hydrochloride, inulin, polyol and so on. It resist static electricity, improve the smoothness of hair, prevent pore clogging, and has good flowability at a low temperature. The shampoo overturns the classic concept of existing cationic hair care (large irritation), uses nearly non-irritant natural anionic wash and care main ingredients, relies on a non-enclosed protein peptide/low HLB value oiliness agent film-forming smoothing system, avoids a cationic polymer/silicone oil hair-care pattern with intensive negative effect, and protects the original ecological environment of hair and scalp, so that a final product gains the smooth experience feeling of organic silicone oil, thereby creating a new path for research and development of food and cosmetic-type wash and care two-in-one shampoos.

A process for decolorizing keratinous material which has been colored by the application of at least one pigment is disclosed. The process comprises applying to a dyed keratin material a decolorizing agent comprising at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant and a pH of from about 1.0 to about 4.3. The process further comprises rinsing the decolorizing agent from the keratin material after a contact time. A method for dyeing and later decolorizing human hair is also disclosed, and comprises applying a colorant to the hair to give a dyed hair, the colorant comprising at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer and at least one pigment; applying to the dyed hair the decolorizing agent to give a decolorized hair; and rinsing the decolorizing agent from the decolorized hair. A multi-component packaging unit comprising a first container comprising the colorant and a second container comprising the decolorizing agent is also disclosed.

The present specification discloses compositions comprising one or more encapsulates comprising one or more agents and methods and uses for the disclosed agents. A composition disclosed herein can be incorporated into a body wash, an after shower body lotion, a shampoo, a conditioner, a soap, a gel, a hand sanitizer, a cream, a spray, a mouse, a lotion, an ointment, a make-up product, a lip balm, a hair spray product, an arachnid/insect repellent or a medicinal product.

A transparent liquid composition is provided which has excellent handling properties when used in cosmetic production without causing increases in viscosity or precipitation of insoluble matter during storage, and which imparts hydrophobicity to damaged hair when added to a cosmetic, and is smooth, moist and soft so feels good during use; a cosmetic containing this transparent liquid composition is also provided. This transparent liquid composition is characterized by containing (A) a compound selected from a group consisting of peptides, amino acids and derivatives thereof, (B) fatty acid amidoamines, (C) gluconic acid and/or gluconolactones and (D) a polyhydric alcohol, wherein the mass ratio (C)/(B) of component (C) to component (B) is 0.5-2.0.

According to the present invention, a composition that has high safety, can be continuously used for a long period, promotes production of VEGF and FGF7 involved in hair growth, and affords good prophylactic or improving effect on thinning hair or hair loss can be provided. The present invention relates to a composition for promoting hair thickening, containing one or more members selected from the group consisting of citrulline, tryptophan, glutamine, and ornithine, a composition for maintaining the anagen phase in the hair cycle and a composition for promoting VEGF production, each containing one or more members selected from the group consisting of citrulline, tryptophan, and glutamine, a composition for promoting transition from the telogen phase to the anagen phase in the hair cycle and a composition for promoting FGF7 production, each containing ornithine, and a composition for promoting normalization of the hair cycle, containing one or more members selected from the group consisting of citrulline, tryptophan, glutamine, and ornithine.
