Inventive embodiments disclosed herein include an oil-in-water mascara formulation that includes non-emulsifying waxes in a concentration of 1 to 12 percent by weight; at least one viscosity modifier; and at least one non-wax grafted polymer and at least one wax grafted polymer with a combined concentration of 0.10 percent to 50 percent.

A method of protecting hair from damage by applying a long-chain unhydrolyzed alkyltrialkoxysilane to hair shafts and then hydrolyzing and polymerizing the alkyltrialkoxysilane to form a non-penetrating outer layer on the hair shaft by utilizing pH adjusted water followed by the application of heat. Alternatively, the alkyltrialkoxysilane may be applied to the hair in combination with an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride prior to the application of heat.

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.

A cosmetic or dermatological composition comprising: a) at least one merocyanine of formula (1) or (2) ##STR00001## b) at least one oily phase comprising at least one alkyl or alkylene carbonate is provided. Also provided is a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up a keratin material, comprising applying to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one of the above compositions. Also provided is a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for limiting the darkening of the skin and/or improving the colour and/or uniformity of the complexion, comprising applying to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one of the above compositions. In addition, provided is a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for preventing and/or treating the signs of ageing of a keratin material, comprising applying to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one of the above compositions.

An anti-aging composition comprising: pinebark extract, polypodium leucotomos, ashwagandha extract, dehydroepiandrosterone, white tea extract, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin K2, bioactive silicon, hyaluronic acid, trimethylglycine, and optionally, piperine, green tea extract, folic acid, vitamin C, camu camu, and blueberry extract.

A composition is provided. The composition is a water-in-oil emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The aqueous phase comprises water, one or more humectants, one or more preservatives, one or more preservative boosters, one or more stabilizers and/or one or more pH adjusters. The oil phase comprises one or more solvents, one or more emulsifiers, one or more emollients and/or one or more aesthetic modifiers. Methods of preparing the composition and methods of improving the appearance of skin are also provided.

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 and/or acid salts thereof or solvates thereof such as hydrates; b) at least one coupler; c) at least 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition of a fatty substance which is preferably liquid and non-silicone-based; d) at least one nonionic surfactant chosen from alkyl(poly)glycoside surfactants, esters of oxyalkylenated sorbitan and fatty acids and oxyalkylenated fatty alcohols; 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.

The present invention concerns new fragrant compounds exhibiting animal or amber notes, without any woody aspect. More particularly, new acetal derivatives of 1-(3,3-dimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)ethanone are disclosed, which correspond to the following general formula I:

##STR00001##

as well as a method of synthesising said compounds, and their use in perfumery.

A treatment solution includes a carrier liquid, and an antifungal agent comprising on of tolnaftate, terbinafine hydrochloride, and miconazole nitrate, the antifungal agent having a concentration of at least 1 wt % of the solution, wherein the treatment solution is alcohol free.

A prophylactic cream, ointment or deodorant for the prevention of the formation of yeast infections.
