This patent application refers to oral health composition and preparation process thereof, suitable for direct administration into the oral cavity by specialists or otherwise, wherein the formulations have a wide action spectrum due to self-activation and continuous formation of reactive oxygen, with no need for external activation by light, chemicals or electricity, except for air oxygen, said oral health compositions acting through the synergistic action of air oxygen with octa-carboxy or tetra-carboxy (metal-phthalocyanines) being functional dyes capable of promoting self-activation and continuous production of reactive oxygen in the presence of molecular oxygen in suitable, safe and effective amounts over odor-making substances, microorganisms and over coagulation/healing mechanisms, among other properties of interest for maintenance of oral health, which may be used directly by the patient or by a professional.

The subject of the present invention is a process for treating keratin fibers using an anhydrous dye composition comprising at least one compound of azomethine type comprising two pyrazolopyridine units of formula (I) or (II) and an aqueous composition. The invention also relates to a kit comprising an anhydrous dyeing composition and an aqueous composition.

Disclosed herein are, inter alia, compounds modulating activity and methods of use thereof for treating CBP/β-catenin mediated disorders.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for their use that include a combination of Leontopodium alpinum extract, Halidrys siliquosa extract, vegetable amino acids, niacinamide, hexylresorcinol, Pinus pinaster extract, Betula alba extract, Albizia julibrissin bark extract, hydrolyzed Candida saitoana extract, Lentinus edodes mycelium extract, and/or Opuntia tuna fruit extract.

Described herein is a method of dyeing the hair. The method includes applying to the hair a hair color composition including one or more direct dye compounds and rinsing the hair with water. The one or more direct dye compounds each include a chromophore, one or two permanent cations, and one to four incipient cations. The one to four incipient cations are pendant to the core structure and are neutral. The one or more direct dye compounds enter the hair shaft after the hair color composition is applied to the hair. The hair color composition has a pH of from about 7 to about 11. The pH of the hair after rinsing is from about 3.5 to about 6. The rinsing of the hair causes one or more of the one to four incipient cations to change from neutral to positively charged inside of the hair shaft.

The present invention relates generally to the field of cosmetics. More particularly, it concerns compositions that can be used to exfoliate, moisturize, or prepare skin for moisturization. In another aspect, the composition can be used as a cleanser to remove dirt, oil, grease, tars, etc. from surfaces.

Novel systems and methods for performing treatment (e.g., coloration) of keratinous fibers are disclosed. The methods and systems utilize one or more of a dispensing device which is configured to provide customized composition for treating keratinous fibers (e.g., a coloring composition), optionally formed from tablets; an optical reader, for obtaining sufficient characteristics of the keratinous fibers to make a realistic prediction of the outcome of a treatment (e.g., coloring treatment); a computational units for predicting an outcome of a treatment, optionally being interfaced with the dispensing device and for selecting a customized treatment; and tablet formulations which are useful in preparing customized composition for treating keratinous fibers. Further disclosed are rapidly disintegrating tablets for use in the preparation of compositions for treating keratinous fibers.

Disclosed is a topical composition comprising: (i) an antimicrobial active which is at least one of piroctone, caprylhydroxamic acid, benzohydroxamic acid, or piroctone olamine; and (ii) Febrifugine. Also disclosed is a non-therapeutic method of providing topical antimicrobial benefit on a topical surface of a human or animal body comprising a step of applying a safe and effective amount of the topical composition.

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising: a) at least one oxidation base 3-(2,5-diaminophenyl)-1-propanol acid salts thereof or solvates thereof such as hydrates; b) at least one heterocyclic oxidation base; c) at least one coupler; d) optionally at least one fatty substance; e) optionally at least one basifying agent; and f) optionally at least one chemical oxidizing agent. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres such as the hair using the composition of the invention, and to a multi-compartment device for using the composition of the invention.

Compounds, compositions, and methods comprising a polyamine compound are described, which may be used to kill, disperse, treat, or reduce biofilms, or to inhibit or substantially prevent biofilm formation. In certain aspects, the present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods comprising polyamine compounds that have antimicrobial or dispersing activity against a variety of bacterial strains capable of forming biofilms.
